ANALYSIS
Decker hasn't played since suffering a knee injury during the team's Week 12 win over the Colts but is now one-step closer to making his return. The 2016 first-round pick will return to his role as the Lions' starting right tackle for their game against the Bills on Sunday.

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.
