Taylor Decker's injury is setting up a disastrous matchup against Bears in Week 2

Detroit Lions tackle Taylor Decker is a Pro Bowler, a leader on the team, and a huge veteran piece to an offensive line that's starting to get very young and very inexperienced. His presence is key to Detroit's success in the trenches with a new offensive coordinator in tow, and with a brand new center getting the ball to Jared Goff.

So, news of any setback experienced by the 32 year old is concerning. Decker told reporters after the Lions' Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers that he'd been dealing with something, but feels okay enough to go for Week 2 against the Chicago Bears.
