Wideout Titus Young isn't present at the Lions organized team activities this offseason, as he reportedly punched teammate Louis Delmas some time last week.Asked about the incident at the time, head coach Jim Schwartz said he wasn't going to talk about whether or not guys on his team showed up to volunteer practices. Asked again about Young's status at the Lions Charity Bocce Ball Tournament (!) on Wednesday, Schwartz said he'll stick with that plan thank you very much.
"I think I addressed that a couple of days ago," Schwartz said, per Anwar Richardson of the Detroit Free Press. "That's the most I'm going to address it. When there is a change, I will address it again."
Earlier this week, CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman made a great point: the Lions would feel much more like a Super Bowl contender if they weren't making headlines this offseason for all the wrong reasons.
The way that Schwartz brought this team back from the dead is a near miracle. And Schwartz needed to give the Detroit roster some swagger. And even though the Lions are in the voluntary part of their schedule right now, it just feels like the Lions need to reign in some of their toughness at this point if they want to take the next step.
Though it's good that Schwartz is apparently keeping Young away from the team as a result of his alleged behavior, there's still a lot of red flags popping up on the Lions roster this offseason.
