Taylor Decker News
Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (ankle, foot) said on Tuesday that he underwent surgery on his ankle and foot this offseason. The surgery was related to an injury that he's been dealing with since college. Decker said he feels great walking around now. He'll be limited this spring but should be fine for the start of the 2024 regular season this fall. Despite not being 100 percent healthy last year, the 29-year-old only missed two regular-season games for the Lions and played in all three of their playoff contests. The former 16th overall pick by Detroit in the 2016 NFL draft out of Ohio State is one of the big reasons why the Lions' offense has soared in recent seasons as he's protected quarterback Jared Goff's blind side.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that left tackle Taylor Decker (groin) will return to practice on Thursday and is good to go for the Week 17 game on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Decker opened up the week with a limited practice showing on Tuesday before sitting out on Wednesday, but the fact that he's back at practice on Thursday means that he'll be able to protect quarterback Jared Goff's blind side this weekend in a tough matchup against Micah Parsons and company. Having the 30-year-old Decker available in Week 17 will be good news for a Lions offense that will have their hands full against a Cowboys team that has played much better at home in 2023.
Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker (ankle), who is listed as questionable for the Thursday night divisional showdown against the Green Bay Packers, is expected to play. Meanwhile, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring, knee), who is also questionable, is not expected to play. Decker has missed the team's last two games, but it looks as though the 29-year-old will be returning in Week 4 for the Lions' offensive line after he was limited in practice all week. Halapoulivaati Vaitai (knee) has been ruled out, so Decker's return will be welcomed news for the Lions offense as they look to win a crucial early season divisional matchup with the 2-1 Packers.
