Decker's been playing through a shoulder injury that cost him a couple games earlier this year but he was able to practice in full on Thursday. His presence on the left side will be key today facing a Vikings' defense that leads the NFL in blitz percentage.
The veteran Maddox has the ability to play both nickel and safety which gives Detroit starting potential and depth in both spots. Vaki is one of Detroit's top special teams players and his return will give those units a big boost.
Joining Joseph and Reynolds on Detroit's inactive list today are safety Jammie Robinson, safety Erick Hallett II, defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo.
