Pittsburgh — After fully participating in the week of practice, Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker will make his season debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Decker missed the first eight games after suffering a finger injury requiring surgery days before the season opener. With Decker out, the Lions shifted rookie Penei Sewell to left tackle.
The first-round draft pick will move back to right tackle, where he spent the preseason. There he'll draw the difficult challenge of slowing Pittsburgh's two-time All-Pro T.J. Watt on Sunday, who ranks second in the NFL with 11.
