Every gameweek is another gauntlet for Taylor Decker.
Detroit’s veteran left tackle is banged up. The same shoulder that has been bothering him since a torn labrum in 2017 OTAs has continued to cause problems to start the 2025.
Decker had surgery on his shoulder this offseason in an attempt to be proactive and get ahead of the injury. The procedure was successful, but then a new issue flared up. More pain. More frustration.
Decker, instead of spending his weekdays practicing with his teammates, spends large chunks of it holed away with Detroit’s training staff trying to get his body ready.
