The Lions immediately moved Ragnow to offensive guard although he had been used chiefly as a center during his collegiate career.[7] The Lions had Graham Glasgow slated to be the starting center after the departure of Travis Swanson.[8] Head coach Matt Patricia named Ragnow the starting left guard to begin the regular season. He started alongside offensive tackles Taylor Decker, Rick Wagner, right guard T. J. Lang, and center Graham Glasgow.[9]

He made his professional regular season debut and first career start during the Lions' season-opening 48-17 loss to the New York Jets.[10] He finished the season starting all 16 games at left guard. On December 21, 2020, he was named to the 2021 Pro Bowl.[11]

On April 28, 2021, the Lions exercised the fifth-year option on Ragnow's contract.[12] He signed a four-year contract extension worth $54 million with the Lions on May 7.[13][14]

On October 6, 2021, Ragnow was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury.[15]
