The Detroit Lions have an injury concern along the offensive line during the Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts, as left tackle Taylor Decker has suffered an injury in the second half.
Decker went down with the injury in the third quarter of the contest versus the Colts. Decker appeared to get rolled up on and has an apparent leg injury, but we don’t know much more than that.
It goes without saying how important Decker is to the Lions, so his status bears close monitoring moving forward. Here’s the latest injury update on the Lions left tackle after he got banged-up.
