The Detroit Lions face another setback as veteran left tackle Taylor Decker is sidelined due to a knee injury, marking his second consecutive week out. Dan Skipper will step in as the starter against the Green Bay Packers, taking on the critical role of protecting quarterback Jared Goff.
Skipper's performance against the Chicago Bears was commendable, allowing no sacks and earning a decent pass-blocking grade. However, his overall season performance has been inconsistent, posing a challenge against the Packers' formidable pass rush led by rookie Lukas Van Ness, who has been impressive in recent games.
