ANALYSIS
Decker is slated to make $13.7 million under his current contract in 2024, and this extension will keep him in Detroit through the 2027 season. The 2016 first-round pick out of Ohio State has started all 112 regular-season games that he's appeared in since entering the league, and he's expected to remain the Lions' top left tackle for the foreseeable future.

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.
