The Seattle Seahawks recently made headlines for having yet another player suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs. Defensive end Bruce Irvin was suspended this time, perhaps explaining why Seattle went out and signed Cliff Avril after free agency began earlier this offseason. Having a player suspended for PEDs is nothing new for the Seahawks, as noted by ESPN's Mike Sando. The Seahawks actually lead the league in PED suspensions with five since 2010, which is when Pete Carroll took over as their head coach. The Denver Broncos and New York Giants each have had four since 2010, and there have been 19 teams with one, two or three suspensions in that same span of time. The Detroit Lions are one of 10 teams that haven't had a single player suspended for PED use since 2010. The Lions have had their fair share of off-the-field issues involving the law, and Mikel Leshoure was hit with a two-game suspension last year for a pair of arrests. They have been able to stay clean when it comes to PEDs, though. (Knock on wood.) In the NFC North, the Lions are the only team that has avoided a PED suspension in the last few years. The Minnesota Vikings have had two suspensions, and the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have had one each.

Remember Mike Williams? Yes, that Mike Williams. Williams, a draft bust with the Detroit Lions before joining the Seattle Seahawks, is making a return to pro football -- this time in the CFL.

A longshot to make the Lions' roster, Broughton spent last season on the Saints' practice squad. He took a predraft visit to Detroit last year, when he went undrafted out of TCU.

Scanning the Savanna searches the web for Detroit Lions content each morning and brings it to your fingertips in one easy location. Ndamukong Suh embraces Detroit tradition at Joe Louis Arena Chrissie Wywrot – DetroitLions.com Ndamukong Suh has been to at least one Red Wings game a year since he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2010. Now he can add Zamboni riding to his hockey resume. Suh became the first celebrity Zamboni rider Friday night at Joe Louis Arena as the Wings skated their way to a 3-1 lead over Chicago in the Western Conference Semifinals. Matthew Stafford confident Lions’ offensive line will be up to par Dave Birkett – Detroit Free Press Stafford said Wednesday he’s not sure how or whether that interior pressure affected his mechanics last fall, but he said he deserves some of whatever blame was placed on the line. “Anytime you play quarterback, your dream is a perfect pocket every time,” Stafford said. “But let’s be honest, it’s the NFL. The defensive guys get paid to rush the passer. Reggie Bush Went To Detroit To Win Championships Mike Dyce – NFL Spin Zone Reggie Bush says he signed with the Detroit Lions to win Super Bowl championships. Yeah, let that sink in for a second. A NFL free agent, and a relatively desired and pursued free agent, signed with the Detroit Lions to win championships. Detroit Lions Fans Should Be Glad to See Brian Urlacher Retire, Which is Ultimate Complement Max DeMara – Lions101.com I remember seeing Brian Urlacher begin his career in 2000. I was 13 years old. This bald guy with a strange name was collecting sacks and interceptions against the Detroit Lions, flying around the field with reckless abandon. I was scared just watching from home, never mind suiting up. Detroit Lions CB Chris Greenwood ready for his second chance Anwar Richardson – MLive.com Greenwood fully participated in Detroit’s organized team activities (OTAs) this week with the goal of competing for playing time in 2013. He moved with ease on the practice field while covering receivers in practice. Greenwood was aggressive and not afraid to make mistakes.

Oct 22, 2011; Fort Worth, TX, USA; New Mexico Lobos quarterback Tarean Austin (8) eludes the rush of TCU Horned Frogs defensive end Braylon Broughton (99) and defensive tackle Jon Lewis (61) during the first quarter at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Braylon Broughton was in, now Braylon Broughton is out. The Detroit Lions added Broughton via a waiver claim after he was released by the New Orleans Saints but they have released him just two days later after failing a physical. It is not known what exactly caused the failed physical but it pretty much irrelevant at this point because Broughton will not be a member of the Lions. This once again leaves the Lions with one spot open on the 90-man offseason roster. The Lions could make a low-level free agent signing or wait to see what opportunities pop up on the waiver wire.

The Detroit Lions were well represented at Thursday night's Detroit Red Wings playoff game. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, fullback Shaun Chapas, wide receiver Kris Durham and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh attended the game, and Suh actually got to take a ride on the Zamboni during the second intermission. Here's the evidence in GIF form (via SB Nation): After his ride, Suh checked out an octopus and decided to test out a puck as well. It’s safe to say @ndamukongsuh has embraced Detroit. @detroitredwings twitter.com/DetroitLionsNF… — Detroit Lions (@DetroitLionsNFL) May 24, 2013 #lions DT NDamukong #Suh testing out the pucks after a zamboni ride during 2nd period break! #Detroit #redwings twitter.com/WoodyWoodriffe… — WoodyFOX2 (@WoodyWoodriffe) May 24, 2013 I'd say Suh has had quite a night at Joe Louis Arena.
