In the middle of the Detroit Lions’ win over the Indianapolis Colts, there was one of the most odd sequences you’ll see from an offensive line standpoint.
After a knee and ankle injury temporarily knocked Lions left tackle Taylor Decker out of the game, Detroit had to adjust on the fly and they did so in an extremely unexpected fashion. Instead of just plugging in Dan Skipper at left tackle—as they’ve done countless times before—they moved left guard Graham Glasgow to left tackle and brought in Michael Niese to play left guard. It was Glasgow’s first-ever snap at left tackle, and it only lasted a single snap.
