Lions adding veteran lineman days after Ragnow retirement announcement
Allen Park — Two days after All-Pro center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement, the Detroit Lions are adding reinforcements to the team's offseason line. On Wednesday, the NFL Network reported the Lions are signing Trystan Colon.
Undrafted out of Missouri in 2020, the 6-foot-3, 313-pound Colon initially signed with the Baltimore Ravens, spending three years with the franchise. More recently, he played the past two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.
Colon has logged 15 starts in his career, including a career-high seven for Arizona in 2024. Most of those snaps came at right guard, but he's also seen action at left guard and center. He was a three-year starting center at Missouri.
Update: Colon replaces cornerback Divaad Wilson on the roster. He was signed on Monday but waived with an injury designation two days later.
Wilson entered the league as an undrafted rookie in 2023 with Jacksonville, but he's spent most of his pro career with the Cardinals. The six-foot, 195-pounder has appeared in seven games, recording 10 tackles and a pass breakup.
