It was originally reported that Lions’ 2nd year receiver Titus Young was absent from OTAs because he had been suspended from practice by the team, following a fight with safety Louis Delmas. This was according to noted beat writer Anwar Richardson. However, multiple reports have refuted that report, including the official website of the Detroit Lions. If Young has indeed been suspended, the Lions do not want to publicly admit it.
It’s not clear exactly what happened with Young, if he did get in a fight or not. And if he wasn’t suspended, why was he, in fact, not at OTAs? Young was also the only Lions wideout not in attendance when Calvin Johnson threw out the first pitch at a Tigers game last week. Young is expected to start the season as their #2 receiver opposite Calvin Johnson in his 2nd season after being selected in the 2nd round. However, if he’s in the doghouse, it could hurt his chances and the Lions have no shortage of receivers with veteran Nate Burleson as the incumbent starter and 2012 2nd round pick Ryan Broyles behind him on the depth chart.
