Detroit Lions suspend defensive tackle CJ Mosley

The Detroit Lions have announced that they have suspended defensive tackle CJ Mosley for conduct detrimental to the team ahead of their International Series clash against the Atlanta Falcons.

The 31-year-old has been placed on the club's suspended list after violating the team's rules as they prepared for their matchup against the NFC South side at Wembley Stadium.

Mosley's place on the Lions' roster has been taken by Jerome Couplin, who was promoted from the practice squad and could feature against the Falcons tomorrow.

The defensive tackle has recorded 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble this season.
