2023 Fantasy Outlook
Decker spent a chunk of the offseason rehabbing a foot injury he picked up in the 2022 season finale, but the Ohio State product had no issues entering training camp and is expected to help anchor a potentially-elite Lions offensive line. Read Past Outlooks
Recovered from offseason surgery
Decker said Tuesday he underwent foot/ankle surgery this offseason and resumed working out mid-February, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker appears already recovered from his offseason procedure. The 30-year-old left tackle missed only two regular-season games last season while suiting up for all three of Detroit's postseason contests. Now heading into the final year of his contract, Decker is still playing at a high level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might not return this season
Decker, who is rehabbing from a finger injury, might not return to action this year, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.
ANALYSIS
The Lions designated Decker for return from injured reserve last week but did not activate him for their Week 6 game against the Bengals, and head coach Dan Campbell said there's a chance that they don't activate Decker at all. It seems the left tackle "kind of hit somebody" while wearing a protective covering on his injured finger at practice last week and the finger has responded poorly, which kept him from practicing last Friday and this Wednesday. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if Decker does not return at all in 2021.
