Lions Coach Updates Injuries to Decker, LaPorta

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell provided positive updates on left tackle Taylor Decker and tight end Sam LaPorta, both of whom suffered shoulder injuries. Decker, who missed the recent game against the Texans, is questionable but trending positively for the upcoming matchup against the Jaguars. LaPorta left the Texans game due to an AC joint sprain and is also considered day-to-day, with Campbell expressing optimism that the injury is not long-term. Campbell opted to keep Penei Sewell at right tackle instead of shifting him to the left side to replace Decker, allowing Dan Skipper to start at left tackle. The Lions are hopeful that both players will recover in time, as their health is crucial for the team's ongoing success this season. The Lions currently hold an impressive 8-1 record and aim to maintain their momentum.
