Detroit Lions Report Key Injuries Decker, Campbell Ahead Bears Week 2

The Detroit Lions are preparing for their Week 2 divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears with key players Taylor Decker and Jack Campbell missing practice due to injuries, raising concerns about their availability. Decker, the experienced left tackle, has a shoulder issue, while Campbell, who led the team in tackles last season, is dealing with an ankle injury. Despite these absences, running back Sione Vaki and linebacker Trevor Nowaske returned to practice after missing Week 1, and cornerback Terrion Arnold also participated despite a recent groin injury. The Lions are facing depth challenges on the offensive line and linebacker positions, further complicated by season-ending injured reserve placements such as tackle Jamarco Jones. Offensive struggles were evident in their Week 1 loss, with concerns highlighted by analysts about the offensive line's interior performance and a conservative play-calling approach. The Lions coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and offensive coordinator John Morton, are focused on improving pressure and exploiting the Bears' disciplined defense led by coach Dennis Allen.
