Detroit Lions defensive end Armonty Bryant has been suspended for the second time this season.The Lions announced Tuesday that Bryant is suspended for the teams next three games for a violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy. The suspension, the Lions said, is related to an incident in 2015.Bryant was arrested on Dec. 25, 2015, and pleaded guilty in July to a charge of attempted drug possession. When he was arrested, he was charged with felony drug possession because Adderall and oxycodone were found in the vehicle driven by his former teammate DeAnte Saunders.He had already been suspended the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the league policy on performance-enhancing substances.He was with the Cleveland Browns then and was waived when he was eligible to come off the suspended list. The Lions claimed him off waivers, and he became a productive member of the teams defensive line rotation. Bryant has five tackles and three sacks in the four games he has been with the Lions.When we signed Armonty, we knew additional discipline from the NFL was a possibility due to an incident that occurred in 2015, the Lions said in a statement. Since joining our team, Armonty has met our expectations on and off the field.Bryants suspension was one of a flurry of moves with the Lions on Tuesday. Detroit traded for cornerback Johnthan Banks, re-signed tight end Matthew Mulligan and placed rookie tight end Cole Wick on injured reserve with a knee injury. Mulligan had been with the Lions in training camp and was beaten out for a roster spot by Wick.Information from ESPNs Pat McManamon was used in this report. Derrick Henry Jersey .

To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St.OAKVILLE, Ont. -- Khalif Mitchell is a happy camper. Mitchell was all smiles as the Toronto Argonauts opened training camp Sunday. Suspended and fined twice last year, the burly defensive tackle was downright charming after practice, shaking hands with and introducing himself personally to the assembled media before answering all questions. But last month, the six-foot-five, 315-pound Mitchell refused to report to Toronto after the B.C. Lions dealt him to the defending Grey Cup champion. Mitchell, 28, started an herbal drink business in Seattle and wanted to remain in the West Division. But Mitchell, a very spiritual man, said his faith helped him have a change of heart. "I had the power to choose any one and so I prayed on it and all of a sudden this is the choice that was here," Mitchell said. "I talked to Jim (Argos GM Jim Barker) and Jim is a great guy and as everything unfolded it just manifested that I come here and its a great thing. "You have to make a choice based on what you love and so I made a choice for football. To be part of the champs is a beautiful thing and a lot of people would jump on the opportunity." Mitchell certainly fills a definite need for Toronto, which opened camp minus defensive linemen Ron Flemons (released), Armondo Armstead (New England Patriots, NFL), Ricky Foley (free agent, Saskatchewan) and Adriano Belli (retired). But also absent Sunday and placed on the suspended list were safety Jordan Younger and cornerbacks Pat Watkins and Pacino Horne, leaving sophomore Jalil Carter as the lone returnee from last years starting secondary as defensive back Evan McCollough also signed with Hamilton as a free agent. Younger, a nine-year veteran, is considering retirement while Horne has a calf injury and Watkins is dealing with a personal matter in Florida. Barker said Horne should resume playing in a week or two and Watkins is expected back although Barker is insure when. But losing Younger, an Argos team captain, caught Barker off guard. "I was surprised," Barker said. "Hes a guy who was a captain last year and somebody else has to pick up the slack. "The timing of it was difficult but players know (when to retire). Well find out pretty quickly who can play or not . . . its something well deal with and by the time we kick off well be fine." A healthy and motivated Mitchell would certainly provide Torontos defence a huge boost. The 28-year-old is a force inside, often commanding a double-team that leaves his defensive linemates in one-on-one situations. Mitchell had 15 tackles and two sacks in 12 games last season with B.C., and over three years with the Lions registered eight sacks and 54 tackles in 34 career games. He was a CFL all-star in 2011 and helped B.C. win the Grey Cup that year but made headlines for all the wrong reasons last season. He was suspended for two games by the CFL for violently hyper-extending the arm of Edmonton offensive lineman Simeon RRottier during a game July 20.dddddddddddd On Sept. 25, the league fined Mitchell an unspecified amount for making multiple "throat slashing" gestures during a win over the Eskimos. The following month, Mitchell was fined and suspended again for violating the CFLs social media policy. However, theres much more to Mitchell than just football. The native of Virginia Beach, Va., is definitely a free spirit and has an ear for music, having taught himself how to play the piano. But not everyone in B.C. was a fan of Mitchell. Shortly after he was dealt to Toronto, Lions running back Andrew Harris tweeted: "Good riddance!!!!" However, Milanovich downplayed Mitchells past, saying the defensive lineman has a clean slate with him. "With any player, I evaluate them on the history I have with them," Milanovich said. "When they get here, we start from scratch and I try to make my own decisions and I try to do that over a period of time. "We have a special group here and hopefully he feels that way." Mitchell said the 2012 season was a clear indication hes human. "I think moreso than anything it just made me look more real," he said. "It made me look more like the average person that goes into a house and when they go in the house they have problems when they go back outside nobody knows those problems. "Its just that Im in a position where everybody gets to see my problems. What Ive done is take the initiation to just open myself up. I dont try to go an
