The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Multiple league sources say Young's absence from OTAs on Monday was not the result of any punitive action by the team. He's not been ordered to stay away from the facility by the team and is not on any team-mandated suspension.

Diehards Line:Reports surfaced Monday that Young was not allowed to participate in the Lions' Organized Team Activity practice Monday because of incident that occurred last week during a training session in which Young punched teammate Louis Delmas. Apparently Young decided not to come on his own. As DetroitLions.com's Tim Twentyman noted, that obviously lends the question as to why Young, a second-year player with a lot of promise, would be absent from the team's first voluntary OTA practice. That's an answer Young will have to provide when he eventually joins his teammates.
