The Detroit Lions are bracing for an NFL-mandated suspension of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who stomped on Green Bay Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith in Thursday's game, with the only question being for how long. Several of Suh's teammates believe a suspension is warranted, given his repeated rule bending.

Rodney Harrison believes the only way to get the message through to Lions DT Ndamukong Suh is to take away his right to play. **More ...**
Team sources said Sunday that some teammates believe Suh's actions are selfish, and they wish the Lions and/or league had done more to discipline the second-year pro in the past to curb his behavior. They wonder if these kind of acts will continue unless Suh is dealt with severely.
The Lionsput out a statement this week condemning his actions -- something some players wish would have come sooner -- and the NFL continues to review the matter. A league source said the possibility of a multi-game suspension exists, but those have been very rare in the recent history of on-field discipline.
A final decision from the league will come early this week.
