Practices in full Thursday
Decker (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The starting left tackle was a limited participant in Wednesday's session. After missing Detroit's Week 10 win over the Texans, Decker is trending toward returning for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. Decker has started all eight games he's appeared in this season and all 120 that he's played in over the course of his career.

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.
