The Detroit Lions are heading into their bye week on a high note after a dominant Monday night win — but not everything is good news in Motown. Veteran left tackle Taylor Decker is once again at the center of injury concerns, raising questions about the team’s offensive line stability heading into the second half of the season.
Decker, one of the Lions’ longest-tenured and most respected players, has been battling through injuries for much of the year. His toughness has never been in question, but the latest report hints that his body might be wearing down under the grind. With the bye week now underway, the Lions are hoping rest and recovery can help Decker return to full strength before the next stretch of games.
The timing couldn’t be more crucial. Detroit’s offensive line has been the foundation of its success — protecting Jared Goff, creating room for the run game, and setting the physical tone that defines Dan Campbell’s team. Losing Decker, even temporarily, would be a major blow to that formula.
Still, if there’s one thing the Lions have shown all season, it’s resilience. Expect the team to use this week to regroup, heal, and prepare for the tough road ahead — starting with their captain’s recovery.
