During an NFL game, Lions quarterback Jared Goff sent Taylor Decker to report as an eligible receiver, but confusion arose when a penalty was called for illegal touching. Goff stated that Decker reported, while Dan Skipper did not, and expressed frustration at the officials' handling of the situation. There are suggestions that the Lions may have intentionally sent multiple offensive linemen to confuse the Cowboys, leading to the official's mistake.
Last night, I had an exec suggest to me that the Lions may have sent the 3 OL over to the official—Decker, Sewell and Skipper all left the huddle—to confuse the Cowboys on which one was declaring. And maybe that confused the official. (Doesn’t excuse the ref getting it wrong.)

#Lions QB Jared Goff confirms he was telling Taylor Decker to report as eligible: “Yep… and he did.” https://t.co/UO5t9YPsjH https://t.co/9dWB9rBrpz
Jared Goff post-game: “What I do know and I don’t know if I’ll get fined for this, but I do know Decker reported, I do know that Dan Skipper did not and I do know that they said that Dan Skipper did so …(throws arm up in air in a questioning motion) … it’s unfortunate.”
Jared Goff said officials messed it up. He said he knows Decker reported and Skipper did not. Still wonder why Skipper ran to official and a third linemen was also there. Could be trying to confuse Cowboys, but official tells them who reported.
