Taylor Decker's health could make all the difference vs. Buccaneers

While the Detroit Lions aren't too banged up on offense, especially compared to their injury woes on defense, they are missing a key member of the O-line: Taylor Decker.

The tackle has missed the Lions' last two games, replaced first by Giovanni Manu who then landed on the IR following a so-so performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. For Week 6, Dan Skipper was elevated to the active roster and did a solid enough job in pass protection against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lions have to be hoping Decker is good to go against a defensive line that features Vita Vea, Haason Reddick, and Yaya Diaby.
