One option would be to move the dominant right tackle, Penei Sewell, to the left side, where Decker typically plays. However, it seems unlikely that Campbell will make such a significant shift, especially given Sewell\u2019s status as one of the most dominant right tackles in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it&#8217;s more likely the Lions will replace Decker with veteran tackle Dan Skipper, allowing Sewell to stay in his current position. Skipper, who has experience as a backup tackle, will step into the left tackle role for Thursday\u2019s game, providing a stable option for the Lions against the Bears&#8217; pass rush.<\/p>\n<figure><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM.png.avif 1334w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-539x420.png.avif 539w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-150x117.png.avif 150w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-300x234.png.avif 300w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-696x543.png.avif 696w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-1068x833.png.avif 1068w\" type=\"image\/avif\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1334px) 100vw, 1334px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1334px) 100vw, 1334px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM.png 1334w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-539x420.png 539w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-150x117.png 150w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-696x543.png 696w, https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-25-at-8.42.20-AM-1068x833.png 1068w\" alt=\"Detroit Lions Forced To Make Thanksgiving Day Starting Lineup Change\" width=\"1334\" height=\"1040\" \/> <\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>With that in mind, here is what the Lions&#8217; starting offensive line is expected to look like for the Thanksgiving Day game:<\/p>\n<p><strong>LT Dan Skipper<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>LG Graham Glasgow<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>C Frank Ragnow<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>RG Kevin Zeitler<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>RT Penei Sewell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the change is certainly a challenge, Campbell and his staff will rely on the veteran presence of Skipper to minimize disruption and keep the offensive line cohesive.
