Lions bench two players as Saints preparations move forward
|The Detroit Lions practiced on Thursday afternoon without center Frank Ragnow and linebacker Alex Anzalone as they got ready for their game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
There is no known risk that Ragnow will miss that match. Due to an inoperable toe issue, the former All-Pro center has had regular maintenance days throughout the season. Despite this, he has participated in every game this season save one, and Pro Football Focus has him ranked as the league’s second-best center.
