Graham

Glasgow

Glasgow has started 14 or more games in each of his three seasons with the Lions, but became expendable after the Lions went out and acquired Juice Scruggs in the trade that sent David Montgomery to the Texans. Even if Scruggs doesn’t win a starting job in camp, the acquisition made it fairly obvious that Glasgow wasn’t in the team’s plans for 2026. The veteran guard has 136 career starts to his name and will be 34 at the start of next season. He should have plenty of options to land a starting role next season with teams looking to bolster their interior line. Glasgow’s release will free up $5.5 million in cap space for the Lions this season.

The good news for Jared Goff and Lions fans is that fellow offensive linemen Taylor Decker and Christian Mahogany are active. Decker was listed as questionable with a shoulder issue.

Decker has been gutting it out on game day for months now. Lions C Graham Glasgow missed Thursday and Friday’s practices with a knee injury. Lions OG Christian Mahogany practiced fully twice before downgrading to limited on Friday. He is attempting to return from injured reserve after fracturing a fibula in Week 9.

St. Brown was unable to practice this week after injuring his ankle last Thursday against the Packers. While he possesses some re-injury risk, he was moving very well during warmups and should be started against the Cowboys this evening. The Lions declared S Kerby Joseph, WR Kalif Raymond, OG Kayode Awosika, TE Hayden Rucci, DL Mekhi Wingo and DL Tyler Lacy inactive for Week 14 against the Cowboys. Lions RT Penei Sewell (shoulder), LT Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest) and C Graham Glasgow (knee) are active.

Lions LT Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest) and C Graham Glasgow (knee) are also expected to play. No word yet on Lions LG Kayode Awosika (foot). Likely having 3-of-4 injured starters on the field is good news for QB Jared Goff, who must face the Cowboys’ top-tier pass-rush unit this evening. Hopefully, the group can improve its health in the coming weeks.

Lions LT Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest) joins Sewell in the questionable department. Both players are frequently gutting it out on game day, so we do tentatively expect both players to suit up tomorrow night. The Cowboys’ defense has been playing well in recent weeks. Lions LG Kayode Awosika (foot) was added to the injury report on Tuesday and did not practice on Wednesday, which is not a good sign. Lions C Graham Glasgow (knee) was limited all week. The latter two players are also questionable.

Key players like Glasgow, Joseph, Paschal, and Wright were all ruled out before Thursday’s game, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The Lions will hope to get most of these players back after some extended rest. The good news, however, is that Terrion Arnold and Penei Sewell will both be active after entering the day as questionable.

Ragnow retired back in June 2025. Back in 2021, the Lions made Ragnow the NFL’s highest-paid center in the league when they signed him to a multi-year contract extension, which ran through 2026. The Lions still own the rights to Ragnow’s contract, so a return from retirement, back onto the Lions’ roster, should be fairly simple. His expected return comes at a great time. Lions LT Taylor Decker (shoulder), RT Penei Sewell (ankle) and RG Tate Ratledge (knee) are questionable to play in Week 13 against the Packers and C Graham Glasgow (knee) has been ruled out. It is unclear how quickly Ragnow can resume playing, but the banged-up unit needs reinforcements.

LT Taylor Decker (shoulder), RG Tate Ratledge (knee), and RT Penei Sewell (ankle) were all listed as limited on the estimated report. Every player on this list played in Week 12’s game against the Giants and was listed as limited/DNP last week. Monday’s report is probably more of a load management thing, so until we hear otherwise, we’ll assume the Lions’ OL will operate at close to full strength against the Packers.

The Lions’ offensive line is ailing. LT Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest), C Graham Glasgow (knee) and RG Tate Ratledge (knee) are also questionable to play. The Giants’ defensive line will be without OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder), which helps even the odds. Hopefully, the Lions’ unit emerges from the game without any setbacks.
