Three-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow sustained a partially torn pectoral muscle during the Detroit Lions' 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Ragnow, however, is intent on playing in the Lions' next game on Monday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks, coach Dan Campbell said on 97.1 The Ticket in Southfield, Mich.
"First of all, Frank is stubborn. He's hard-headed Frank. He's tough, he's stubborn, so he wants to go, and he always wants to go, but this is something we're still talking about right now," Campbell said. "I'm not entirely sure what we're gonna do with him."
Campbell said Ragnow played through the injury while lining up for all 68 offensive snaps against the Cardinals.
"A lot of it is where's he going to feel by middle or end of the week," Campbell said. "But he does have something in there and he did play through some of this last week. And so we'll do what's best for him and what's best for us in the moment, ultimately. But you know how I feel about Frank, we all do. Appreciate the heck out of him. He's tough, man."
Ragnow, 28, has started all three games this season and all 83 contests in which he has played since being selected by the Lions with the 20th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
