Lions Get Brutal Injury News Hours Before Bengals Matchup

Summary

The Detroit Lions' offensive tackle, Taylor Decker, will not play against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a shoulder injury. Decker had surgery in the past for a shoulder issue, but this new pain is unrelated, and it prevents him from playing. Giovanni Manu is expected to take Decker's place in the game.
