The Detroit Lions can't catch a break.

On Saturday, the Lions announced that center Frank Ragnow , who earlier this week came out of retirement to rejoin the team for the stretch run, failed a physical and won't be returning this season after all.

Per Detroit's social media account, Ragnow's medical check-up revealed a Grade 3 hamstring strain, eliminating the possibility of the four-time Pro Bowler playing this season.

Ragnow, 29, left the game with seemingly plenty left in the tank, and his injury setback is another brutal blow for a Lions team that is starting to look cursed.
