Taylor Decker: I need to make informed decisions about continuing to play

Our Summary

The Detroit Lions may face significant changes on their offensive line ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Left tackle Taylor Decker, a key player for the Lions, is contemplating retirement after playing through a shoulder injury this season. Decker, who has completed ten seasons, expressed the need to consider the physical toll on his body and its impact on his family before deciding on his future. Meanwhile, backup tackle Dan Skipper suggested he might retire, and center Graham Glasgow's future with the team is also uncertain. These potential departures suggest the Lions may need to overhaul their offensive line as they aim for another postseason run.
