The Detroit Lions head coach said Thursday that Frank Ragnow won't play a Monday Night Football game against the Seattle Seahawks because of a partially torn pectoral muscle. Campbell didn't want to take any chances with the three-time Pro Bowler. "Frank's tough. He's as tough as nails," Campbell said, per <a href="https://x.com/E_Woodyard/status/1839338485599309880" rel="nofollow"> ESPN's Eric Woodyard </a> . "If anyone can play through it, it's him. I think we gotta be smart. It's early in the year." However, Campbell's phrasing made the situation sound even more dire. He declared that the Lions are&nbsp;"gonna put Frank down this week." Observers all joked that it's a bit harsh to give Ragnow the Old Yeller treatment because he's unable to play their next football game. "Feels extreme," <a href="https://x.com/DanGrazianoESPN/status/1839336838236144056" rel="nofollow"> ESPN's Dan Graziano </a> responded. "Euthanasia seems a little excessive for a pec injury," a <a href="https://x.com/ilovechooch/status/1839358661753442462" rel="nofollow"> fan wrote </a> . <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1LxwO4_0vkyls4N00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1LxwO4_0vkyls4N00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>ALLEN PARK, MICHIGAN - JULY 28: Detroit Lions head football coach Dan Campbell speaks with the media before the Detroit Lions Training Camp on July 28, 2021 in Allen Park, Michigan.

"Just send him to a farm upstate with the other centers," <a href="https://x.com/JackKennedy/status/1839356535090409705" rel="nofollow"> Jack Kennedy </a> pleaded. "He was such a good boy," <a href="https://x.com/BrendanSugrue/status/1839360292964458617" rel="nofollow"> Bears Wire's&nbsp;Brendan Sugrue </a> said. Ragnow earned a second-team All-Pro designation when playing 15 games for Detroit's third-ranked offense last season. Per <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/frank-ragnow/39137?season=2023" rel="nofollow"> Pro Football Focus </a> , he committed just three penalties and allowed one sack on 989 sacks. This season, the 28-year-old has helped Detroit gain the fourth-most rushing yards amid a 2-1 start. Ragnow is a huge loss to a Lions offensive line entering a primetime matchup against the undefeated Seahawks. Campbell will hopefully avoid putting Ragnow down and instead let him recover as the Lions play the Seahawks this Monday night on ABC. <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/detroit-lions/nfl-fans-saddened-by-dan-campbells-reason-for-selling-house" rel="nofollow"> Related: NFL Fans Saddened By Dan Campbell's Reason For Selling House </a></div></body>
