Lions still working on deal with DT Suh
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -The Detroit Lions have opened training camp without Ndamukong Suh.
The Lions practiced Saturday afternoon while team officials and Suh's representatives worked on reaching a contract agreement. The St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms with their draft choices, leaving Suh the only unsigned player picked in the top three.
The Lions signed their other first-round pick, Jahvid Best, to a five-year deal and he was on the field with Kevin Smith and the team's other running backs. Smith is back after knee surgery.
Detroit drafted Suh hoping the former Nebraska defensive tackle could bolster its defense, which has ranked among the league's worst the past two seasons. The Lions won just two games last year after becoming the first team in league history to go 0-16.
