Decker missed the final eight snaps of yesterday’s game, with an undisclosed injury that the team is currently evaluating. With players off on Tuesday, fans will have to wait until Wednesday’s practice report to know what type of injury Decker suffered and potentially if it will impact his ability to play moving forward.

Rookie fifth-round pick, Tyrell Crosby replaced him for the Lions final series and looked prepared and confident. Stepping in as a replacement can be challenging for an offensive lineman — especially a left tackle who needs to pass protect in an obvious passing situation — but Crosby was flawless in his limited opportunities.

If Decker misses any length of time the Lions are fortunate to have an upside player of Crosby’s caliber on the bench. As a first-year player, Crosby will have his lumps but is an underrated talent.
