Missing man: It’s becoming clearer by the week that Taylor Decker is one of the most important players on this football team. The Lions have had a heck of a time protecting quarterback Matthew Stafford the first six weeks of the season without their starting left tackle. In the last three weeks alone, Stafford’s been sacked 17 times. Decker won’t solve all of Detroit’s issues up front, obviously, but it will be a big step forward. Decker is eligible to come off PUP starting today, and can play in two weeks vs. Pittsburgh, if he’s cleared by doctors and coaches.
