The Detroit Lions have released their first injury report of Week 2, and a couple of key names jumped out right away. With the Lions set to host the Chicago Bears this Sunday at Ford Field, the status of left tackle Taylor Decker and linebacker Jack Campbell will be closely monitored as the week goes on.

Two Starters Miss Practice
Decker was held out of Wednesday’s session with a shoulder injury. The veteran tackle is considered hopeful to play against Chicago, but his absence in practice is something to keep an eye on with the Lions already dealing with questions along the offensive line.
Meanwhile, Campbell sat out with an ankle injury. The third-year linebacker is a vital piece of Detroit’s defense, and his availability will be critical in slowing down a Bears offense led by former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Limited Participants Return
Not all of Wednesday’s news was concerning. Trevor Nowaske (elbow) and Sione Vaki (hamstring) were both limited participants after missing time last week, giving Detroit a little boost in depth at linebacker and running back.
On the positive side, cornerback Terrion Arnold (groin) and safety Daniel Thomas (hand) were both full participants. Arnold, in particular, is a welcome sight after leaving the Week 1 loss to the Packers with a groin issue.
