Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images The results from our latest SB Nation Reacts surveys are in, and of all the Lions' current injuries, fans are most concerned about Frank Ragnow. Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked Detroit Lions fans two questions: 1. Are you confident the Lions are headed in the right direction?2. Which Lions injury is most concerning? After seeing fan confidence then drop from 97% to 79% following the loss to the Bucs in Week 2, the Lions got a boost in confidence this week—back up to 92%—after getting back into the win column, beating the Cardinals 20-13 on the road in Arizona. If the Lions can beat the Seahawks on “Monday Night Football”—they’re the favorites, according to the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook —then you can expect to see fans' confidence continue to climb as the team enters their Week 5 bye. The second question we asked fans—Which Lions injury is most concerning?—we gave the fans options to choose from and nearly half the votes pointed toward Frank Ragnow’s absence being the most concerning. While all six players listed are starters, Ragnow is arguably the most valuable player, as he is one of the best, if not the best centers in the NFL. For a team that relies heavily on its offensive line as its identity, missing the man at the center is understandably concerning. Ragnow won’t play against the Seahawks—coach Dan Campbell said as much earlier this week—but with the bye week providing some added rest time, hopefully, the Lions will get their All-Pro center back shortly after. To get a closer look into the minds of Lions fans, here are a few of the explanations from the comment section of the original article, lightly edited for clarity: flyerinchicago: “Frank's injury is most concerning. He stirs the drink on the O-line. Not sure how quickly a partial tear can heal, but I know a full pec tear is a minimum of 4-6 months” LeoninePride: “Ragnow easily. Defense performed well after Barnes and Mac went down. Offense has struggled even with Frank in there. Losing him affects the entire operation, not just Goff.”
