Lions Add Trystan Colon After Ragnow Retirement

After the retirement of longtime Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, the Detroit Lions signed veteran offensive lineman Trystan Colon to a one-year contract to strengthen their interior line depth. Colon, who started a career-high seven games at right guard for the Arizona Cardinals last season and previously played for the Baltimore Ravens, brings versatility at both guard and center. The Lions are evaluating several candidates to replace Ragnow at center, including veteran Graham Glasgow, 2025 second-round pick Tate Ratledge, and rookies Christian Mahogany, Michael Niese, and Kingsley Eguakun. Colby Sorsdal has also begun cross-training at center to increase their options. Colon's addition provides flexibility as the team adapts to a restructured offensive line for the 2025 season. Contract details for Colon have not been disclosed.
