Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch didn’t participate in Monday’s oraganized team  actitivity because of tendonitis in his knee. Lions head coach Jim Schwartz indicated that he’ll be held out of team activities through May. “Tulloch will not participate through May, and after that we will take it as it goes,” Schwartz said. “He had tendonitis and we did an injection to settle it down. He’s not weight-bearing (on his leg) right now. We will get it settled down and there won’t be surgery or anything like that.”

The Lions have used picks in the first 2 rounds on running backs in their last two drafts prior to this year, as well as a 3rd round pick on a running back in 2008, yet they keep having to turn to the mediocre and aging Maurice Morris down the stretch to get significant carries for them. This is because Jahvid Best, a 1st rounder in 2010, Mikel Leshoure, a 2nd rounder in 2011, and...

Is Titus Young’s ‘suckerpunch’ suspension worthy?

Via Detroit Sports 360  |  May 21, 2012
Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young’s “suckerpunching” of teammate Louis Delmas is most definitely suspension-worthy.
