Lions' Taylor Decker out 4-6 months with torn labrum, report says

Taylor Decker is reportedly going to be out for at least a quarter of the Detroit Lions season.

NFL Network is reporting Decker's shoulder injury is actually a torn labrum and the timetable for recovery is four-to-six months. Decker injured the shoulder last week and had surgery on it Monday, leaving the Lions with a massive hole on quarterback Matthew Stafford's blindside needing to be replaced.

Detroit signed journeyman veteran Tony Hills on Thursday to compete for the position with Cornelius Lucas, Joe Dahl and Corey Robinson.
