Taylor Decker downgraded to out for Lions practice, leaving team with just 1 healthy offensive lineman
.......
The good news regarding the Lions Injury Report compared to yesterday is Big V was able to practice ( on a Limited basis ) and Mike Ford practiced in Full. Ford likely will play vs. the Bucs. Big V would need to be cleared by an Independent Neurologist to be able to play in this game.
If Taylor Decker is sidelined, Big V or Matt Nelson probably plays LT. The Lions would probably need to give the LT help often on passing plays.

Again a "patchworked" team, injuries have really been a head-scratcher for the coaches this season !

The Lions were dealing with a bad injury situation early in the season. Especially at CB and Kenny Golladay missing the first two games. The Lions injury situation got much better until the Colts game on November 1. The losses of Kenny Golladay and Trey Flowers was that day had a devastating effect on the Lions season. The injuries have been piling up since the Panthers game two weeks later. Everson Griffen being out two weeks, because of COVID-19, contributed greatly to the Defensive struggles in the recent Packers and Titans games.

Eight Lions questionable for Saturday’s game
.........
This is a better ( relatively speaking ) Lions injury report than I anticipated on Offense. The Lions Offensive Line situation would be much better if Taylor Decker, Frank Ragnow, and Big V all play in this game.
On the other hand, not having Jamie Collins would be another major setback for the Lions chances of pulling off a huge upset over the Bucs. Both, in terms of Collins being by far the Lions best LB and his on the field communication skills being lost for a game in which the Lions will be without the team's top 4 coaches on Defense.
Jayron Kearse must have suffered the hip injury in practice. Kearse's versatile Defensive skills and Special Teams contribution would be missed if he's out for the game.

Carlton Davis unlikely to play on Saturday
........
Even though Carlton Davis ( assuming he doesn't play ) and Ronald Jones are huge losses for the Bucs for this game, they are in better shape injury / availability wise than the Lions. I'm including DT Vita Vea and TE OJ Howard, players on IR.
