T Decker reportedly 'on track' with his recovery from surgery

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell noted Saturday that T Taylor Decker is “on track” with his recovery from shoulder surgery. ”He’s making really good progress,” said Caldwell. Decker opened training camp on the active/PUP list and is expected to miss at least the first six weeks of the NFL season recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Decker played every offensive snap for the Lions in 2016, including playoffs. He had a solid rookie season, earning an overall PFF grade of 80.7 that ranked 25th and was the second-highest grade of any rookie offensive tackle. His presence on the line will surely be missed for a Lions team that ranked 19th in pass protection and 25th in run-blocking.
His pass-blocking efficiency of 95.0 was the third-best among rookie offensive tackles and ranked 27th among offensive tackles with a minimum of 360 snaps in pass protection (PBE measures pressure allowed on a per-snap basis with weighting toward sacks).
