Overview
- Dan Campbell signaled a cautious approach on Taylor Decker’s shoulder, declining to set a timetable and stressing long‑term health over a short‑term return.
- Giovanni Manu started at left tackle and allowed two sacks, including a first‑quarter strip‑sack by Trey Hendrickson, though Detroit still rushed for 118 yards and scored 37 points.
- Pro Football Focus graded Manu at 64.3 overall with stronger run blocking than pass protection in his 62‑snap debut.
- Campbell called Manu’s performance “up and down” and said the staff will also evaluate Dan Skipper and practice‑squad tackle Devin Cochran before deciding on a Week 6 starter.
- Injury pressure is mounting elsewhere, as Campbell said cornerback Terrion Arnold will be out a long time and receiver Kalif Raymond is undergoing imaging for a neck injury.
