Lions Face Injuries Before Packers Matchup

The Detroit Lions are facing significant injury challenges ahead of their Thursday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers, particularly with left tackle Taylor Decker who is dealing with a knee injury and is considered day-to-day. Decker has missed two of the last four games, and his absence has led to Dan Skipper stepping in, who has been praised for his effort despite his limitations. Defensive players like DJ Reader, Levi Onwuzurike, and Josh Paschal are also out, prompting the Lions to sign reinforcements including Myles Adams and Jonah Williams, though Carlton Davis III is expected to return. Coach Dan Campbell has expressed uncertainty about the number of defensive players who will be available. The team is preparing contingency plans, such as moving Penei Sewell to left tackle if Decker is unavailable, and integrating new signings into defensive rotations. The Lions are keen on maintaining their competitive edge despite these setbacks.
