Detroit Lions LT Taylor Decker active, Desmond Trufant out vs. Indianapolis Colts

Matthew Stafford will have his blindside protector for today's game against the Indianapolis Colts, arguably the best defense the Detroit Lions will face this season.

Left tackle Taylor Decker is active after missing part of practice Thursday and Friday with a shoulder injury.

Decker came out on the field to stretch about 90 minutes before kickoff, just before inactives were announced. He's been one of the Lions' best linemen this year, and has yet to allow a sack in six games.

Decker was listed as a non-participant in practice Friday, when he worked sparingly with the first-team offensive line during the open portion of practice.
