Decker (knee) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday. Decker hasn't played since suffering a knee injury during the team's Week 12 win over the Colts but is now one-step closer to making his return. The 2016 first-round pick will return to his role as the Lions' starting right tackle for their game against the Bills on Sunday.
Decker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Packers, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Decker will miss a second straight game. Dan Skipper made the start at left tackle last Thursday against Chicago and should be there again this Thursday night versus Green Bay.
Decker (knee) did not practice Monday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Decker missed the Lions' Thanksgiving Day win over the Bears and could be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Packers. A clearer picture of his status likely won't be available closer to kickoff though.
Decker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Decker will be forced to miss the team's Thanksgiving contest against Chicago as a result of the knee injury he sustained in Week 12 versus the Colts. Dan Skipper is a top candidate to take over at left tackle against the Bears.
Decker (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough. Decker has been sidelined for both walkthroughs this week due to a knee injury that he may have picked up during Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he is not optimistic that Decker will be able to play against the Bears on Sunday, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. If Decker is sidelined, Dan Skipper and Colby Sorsdal would be the top candidates to start at left tackle.
Decker (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday. The starting left tackle was a limited participant in Wednesday's session. After missing Detroit's Week 10 win over the Texans, Decker is trending toward returning for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. Decker has started all eight games he's appeared in this season and all 120 that he's played in over the course of his career.
Decker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston. Decker popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a shoulder injury. It kept him out of practice Friday, and it appears the injury is severe enough for Decker to be sidelined for Sunday's game. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 17. Dan Skipper and Colby Sorsdal are the top candidates to start at left tackle in Decker's absence.
Decker (chest) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Decker began the week missing practice due to a chest issue, but he returned to a limited session Thursday before practicing in full Friday. He'll thus be able to take on his usual role as Detroit's starting left tackle Sunday versus Green Bay.
Decker (chest) didn't practice Wednesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports. Decker played 42 offensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win over the Titans, but it appears he sustained a chest injury in the process. The Ohio State product will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 9, when the Lions travel to Green Bay.
