Lions starting left tackle Taylor Decker returned to the field in 2021, after missing the first eight games of the season. He missed those games after undergoing finger surgery, prior to the beginning of the season. It does not seem that long ago that Decker signed a monstrous four-year, $60 million contract extension.
Heading into the offseason, it seemed likely the Detroit Lions would aggressively seek to improve the team's linebacker corps through either a splash addition in free agency or utilizing an early-round draft pick. Instead, the Lions took a far more conservative approach to address the perceived need. First, they brought back veterans Alex Anzalone and Josh Woods on modest, one-year deals.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is significantly more comfortable defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will remain on his coaching staff this season. The comfort Detroit's second-year coach has experienced working with his staff was almost disrupted, as Glenn participated in extensive interviews for the head coaching vacancies of the Saints and Broncos.
