From one Lion to another in Orlando this week. Offensive tackle Taylor Decker was named to the Pro Bowl roster this week. Ironically, he’s replacing his teammate Penei Sewell.

Decker started 14 games this season and was among the top vote-getters from fans in Pro Bowl voting but was left off the initial roster. Sewell, Lane Johnson (Eagles) and Tristan Wirfs (Buccaneers) were the initial three tackles.
Decker is replacing Sewell, who has an undisclosed injury. He was not on the injury report leading up to the Divisional Round against the Washington Commanders and played every snap in that game.
The three offensive tackles for the NFC are now Decker, Wirfs and Brian O’Neill (Vikings). O’Neill is replacing Johnson after the Eagles advanced to Super Bowl LIX following their 55-23 rout of the Commanders.
Joining Decker from the Lions in Orlando are QB Jared Goff, C Frank Ragnow, S Brian Branch, P Jack Fox, RB Jahmyr Gibbs and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
