Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement and will rejoin the Detroit Lions.

Ragnow retired from the NFL in June after spending seven seasons with Detroit, but with the season hitting the stretch run, he will rejoin the Lions and try to get them back into the postseason.

The Lions shared a picture of Ragnow on social media on Wednesday afternoon, just one day before their Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Ragnow was officially reinstated Wednesday from the league’s reserve/retired list. He will now be placed on the exempt/commissioner permission list, and he’ll continue to work his way into game shape, according to Schefter’s report.
