Lions Offensive Lineman Suffers Injury Scare During Practice
22 Aug
Summary
- Key Lions center Graham Glasgow leaves practice with lower leg injury
- Glasgow's injury could be a concern as Lions prepare for regular season
- Lions have limited depth at center position after Ragnow's retirement
On August 21, 2025, the Detroit Lions experienced an injury scare during their practice session. Graham Glasgow, the team's starting center, had to leave the practice early due to a lower leg injury. While Glasgow was able to walk off the field under his own power, he did not return to the practice.
Glasgow's injury is particularly concerning for the Lions, as the team has already faced a significant setback this offseason. Former starting center Frank Ragnow retired, leaving Glasgow as the primary option at the position. Behind Glasgow, the Lions have Kingsley Eguakun and Trystan Colon, but they lack the experience and proven track record of their veteran starter.
In 2024, Glasgow played 1,027 snaps at left guard for the Lions, earning a 57.9 overall Pro Football Focus grade. However, he has historically performed better at the center position, and the team was counting on him to anchor the offensive line this season.
The Lions are set to wrap up their preseason schedule with a game against the Houston Texans on August 25. While Glasgow may not have played in that final exhibition match anyway, his injury status will be closely monitored in the coming days. If he is forced to miss any regular season games, the Lions' offensive line could face significant challenges as they prepare to take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 on September 7.
