NFL spokesman Greg Aiello just tweeted out news that will be a relief to the Lions.

“Our office has notified the Lions that N(damukong) Suh will not be suspended for last Thursday’s incident. It will be reviewed for a potential fine.”

That “incident” was a foot to the crotch of Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, which didn’t seem to be part of a football move.

That’s a mild surprise, but it won’t surprise anyone if the fine is significant, considering Suh’s status as a repeat offender.

Still, it keeps him on the field against the Colts this week.
