Jim Caldwell on Taylor Decker: 'When Deck’s ready, Deck’s going to play'

USA TODAY Sports

The Detroit Lions have received solid play from fill-in left tackle Brian Mihalik the past two weeks, but that doesn't change the timetable for Taylor Decker's pending return from shoulder surgery.

Decker practiced last week for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in June, and he could make his season debut when the 4-4 Lions host the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Ford Field.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell declined to provide an updated timetable for Decker's return at his weekly news conference Tuesday.
