Detroit Lions' Taylor Decker still on injured reserve, won't play vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Taylor Decker’s return will wait at least one more week.

The Detroit Lions did not activate Decker from injured reserve before Saturday’s 4 p.m. roster deadline, meaning he will miss his sixth straight game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Decker suffered a left hand injury four days before the Lions’ season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers that required surgery and has not played this season.

He returned to practice this week, but was limited to individual work on Wednesday and took just a smattering of team reps Thursday before sitting out Friday.
