Lions Center Frank Ragnow Suffered a Fractured Throat and Didn't Miss a Snap

The Detroit Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday to drop to 5-8 on the season. Lions center Frank Ragnow played all 68 offensive snaps. This is not entirely notable until you take into account the fact that Ragnow suffered a fractured throat during the game.
#Lions potential Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, who did not practice today, suffered a fractured throat in the first quarter Sunday and finished the game somehow, source said. He’s played the most snaps at center in the NFL this season… but could miss this week.

In a sport where people suffer the worst, most gruesome injuries this sounds insane. Did you know you could fracture your throat? He is apparently breathing fine, but not supposed to talk and the Lions, two games out of the playoffs with three games left, still haven't decided to shut him down for the season. This is some serious football guy energy.
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.

According to this article which Ian Rapoport later tweeted, fractured throats can be as serious as they sound and the most likely cause of this injury is car crash or sports injury. So, yeah. Do not mess with Frank Ragnow.
