Caught up with Lions LT Taylor Decker today. He said it's not 100% but he's "trending in the right direction" to play this weekend vs. the Chiefs.
If he can't, the Lions have no plays to move Penei Sewell from RT to LT www.freep.com/story/sports...

Yep.

Dan said today it's more about where the 3rd tackle feels most comfortable, and about getting Penei reps at where he's going to play. If there's a chance Decker plays, Penei practicing at RT. I'll write up all of Dan's comments on it shortly

Lot of absences at Lions practice today: Amon-Ra, Kerby, Decker, Kalif, Joseph, Arnold… Brian Branch appeared limited, wasn’t doing much in position drills

Lions sign Dan Skipper from practice squad to 53-man roster, place CB Khalil Dorsey on IR and add CB Arthur Maulet to the practice squad

Dan Campbell on the report from last month the Lions complained to the league about cut blocks: "That’s bogus. That’s a bogus report. I don’t know where that came from. Nobody from here ever did that. That’s bull."

Lions WRs coach Scottie Montgomery said the team is "very hopeful" for Kalif Raymond for this week vs. the Chiefs.

Dan Campbell on Patrick Mahomes: "He can smell a rat (disguised blitz) from a mile away. ... If you’re going to disguise it better be worthy of (an Emmy)."

Some purely personal news (staying in the same job and everything) but I’m moving to NYC.

All about making new connections and re-establishing old ones so feel free to reach out.

Atlanta has been awesome to me — and it’ll always hold a specific place in my heart.

For sure, but they gave up nothing and he’s better than Jake Browning

I like that Bengals acquiring Joe Flacco trade. AFCN is wide open, if they get a few wins and Burrow comes back, still could make the playoffs

Detroit Lions CB Terrion Arnold's shoulder injury is 'likely' season ending, per NFL Network www.freep.com/story/sports...

Going through my phone, clearing out some old photos and found this that my daughter did years ago. That’s my girl 😂😂😂

More on Terrion Arnold's injury and where the Detroit Lions go next in their injury-riddled secondary with games against Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield on deck www.freep.com/story/sports...

Dan Campbell said Lions CB Terrion Arnold will be "out a while." Said he doesn't know yet if that's a season-ending injury but didn't rule it out. The Lions are without their top 2 CBs, Arnold and DJ Reed, right now - and 3 of their top 4 if you include Ennis Rakestraw from camp

Dan Campbell sees 'signs of great' in Lions, upcoming schedule gauntlet will reveal more www.freep.com/story/sports...

Lions vs Bengals grades: High marks all around as running backs, linebackers shine www.freep.com/story/sports...

Dan Campbell said Taylor Decker has had 'diminishing returns' as he tries to play through a shoulder injury, so the Lions sat him Sunday with an eye towards the future and aren't sure if he'll play in next week's showdown with the Chiefs www.freep.com/story/sports...

Dan Campbell on David Montgomery: "He’s all fucking team, excuse my language. So love the guy. We’re fortunate to have him and he’s a stud." 3 observations from immediately after the game www.freep.com/story/sports...

David Montgomery coming off the field after his triumphant return to Cincinnati

My bad. Not both TDs for TeSlaa on his first two catches, both one-handed grabs. Just stream of conscious as I write/watch the game

Isaac TeSlaa third catch, third TD ... and he used two hands for the first time (and almost dropped it lol).

Now Rock Ya-Sin down. Appears to be OK, but Lions might need you to play CB next week against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

Terrion Arnold questionable with a shoulder injury

Brian Branch back after a one-play absence

Kalif Raymond downgraded to out with his neck injury

Good for David Montgomery coming up so big in his return home. Touched the ball on the final six plays of that seven-play drive, now has 11 carries for 39 yards and a TD, one catch for 6 yards and a TD pass.

The Bengals have had 8 offensive possessions so far. They turned the ball over on 3 of them and failed to pick up a first down on 4 of them. Pretty efficient day.

Seriously. I love when teams go for it, appreciate Dan being as gutsy as he is on so many plays. But also can't argue with punting there. Cincy can't do anything on offense, no reason to give them any shot at momentum going into halftime.

The Bengals are so terrible without Joe Burrow
