Detroit Lions' Taylor Decker 'not really worried about' playing during pandemic

Taylor Decker has spent most of the spring at his home in Arizona, where his gym has remained opened and fully functional during the coronavirus pandemic.

Decker figures he's more fortunate than many of his NFL peers, who've been left to build makeshift weight rooms in their garages.

A product of his own experience, he's also not the least bit worried about playing games this fall, even after the pandemic claimed its 100,000th life in the United States earlier this week.

“I don’t know if this is the politically correct thing to say, but I’m not really worried about it personally," the Detroit Lions offensive lineman said Thursday in a video conference.
