Decker is good to go for the Lions’ Divisional Round game against the Commanders this weekend. He reportedly missed Wednesday’s practice celebrating the birth of his second child. Lions RG Kevin Zeitler (hamstring) is the other offensive lineman who has missed practice this week. After being a DNP on Thursday, Lions coach Dan Campbell said if Zeitler is unable to go on Saturday against the Commanders.

This could end up being a non-issue but a playoff practice absence for a core offensive player is noteworthy nonetheless. Decker is one of the league’s best left tackles and he makes life far easier on Jared Goff. Hopefully, Decker is good to go this week. We will report back with updates as soon as possible.

Decker missed three games with the knee issue but practiced in full throughout the week before being cleared for action. Detroit’s date with Buffalo has the highest total of the year and features two teams poised for deep playoff runs. With Decker back on the field, Detroit’s offense is full strength for what could be the game of the year.

Decker has missed three straight games with the knee issue. The Lions already have one eye on the postseason, so slow-playing his return makes sense. Decker did not practice at all last week, so a return to practice on Wednesday is a step in the right direction for the stud tackle. He is on track to play in Week 15 against Buffalo, adding a bit more fuel to the shootout fire on the horizon.
