According to Ian Rapoport, Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow fractured his throat (Laryngeal fracture) in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Green Bay Packers.
Rapoport noted that Ragnow could miss this week's game vs. the Tennessee Titans.
Can you even fracture a throat??
Here is a good article on fractured throats, also known as Laryngeal Fracture. Very educational (and horrifying). https://t.co/OeoSqTOqU5 https://t.co/bEx3uTi9yL

From Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press:
“Lions are consulting with specialists on this right now. His airway/breathing is fine, and he can eat, but he's not supposed to talk right now. Trying to determine how much time he'll need to be out.”
OK, some more details on Ragnow's fractured throat: Lions are consulting with specialists on this right now. His airway/breathing is fine, and he can eat, but he's not supposed to talk right now. Trying to determine how much time he'll need to be out.
