Taylor Decker’s availability for the Detroit Lions has been decided for tomorrow’s game
The Detroit Lions have been without offensive tackle Taylor Decker this week after he suffered an ankle injury in their Week 1 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday night. And his status for tomorrow has officially been announced – he will not be suiting up.

Decker was hurt in the Week 1 win at Kansas City
Despite suffering the injury, he was able to remain in the game. However, he’s not practiced this week as the Lions get ready to face the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow at Ford Field.
“Deck, he’s a little less than questionable,” head coach Dan Campbell said earlier in the week. “We’ll just see where he’s at tomorrow. He is getting better, so that’s all encouraging.”
He’s officially been downgraded to out vs. Seattle
Minutes ago, it was reported on X (formerly Twitter) that Decker is officially out for tomorrow’ game against the Seahawks.
