Lions Update Key Players Before Week 11 Game

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell provided updates on key players ahead of their Week 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Offensive tackle Taylor Decker, who missed the previous game against the Houston Texans due to a shoulder injury, is trending towards playing this week. Tight end Sam LaPorta, who suffered an AC joint sprain during the Texans game, is considered day-to-day, though Campbell is hopeful he might play. LaPorta had an impactful game against the Texans with three catches for 66 yards and a touchdown before exiting. If LaPorta is unable to play, backups Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra may see increased roles. Defensive players Josh Paschal and James Houston were noted for their strong performances in the win over Houston.
