Ndamukong Suh made headlines all week long this week following Sunday's game, when he stepped on Aaron Rodgers not once, but twice. He was initially suspended for a game, which would have caused him to miss this weekend's divisional playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.

But Suh won the appeal of his suspension, which overturned the one-game ban and reduced it to merely a fine. Now he will be able to take the field in Dallas on Sunday, which will be a big boost to a Lions team that is trying to win a playoff game for the first time in decades.
During an interview after practice on Wednesday, Suh said "next question" 10 times in response to nine questions from reporters, according to ESPN. It makes sense that he does not want to answer questions about the incident, which was the latest in a long line of questionable on-field incidents involving Suh.

So what does this latest disciplinary issue mean for Suh in the long term? It is tough to say. He is one of the best defensive players in the league, and he was the best run defender and pass rusher on one of the league's top defenses this season.
Suh is also set to be an unrestricted free agent, meaning he could sign anywhere. He will likely command a contract nearing $100 million, which may make him not worth the risk to some teams that do not want to pay a huge some for a player that is known for missing games because of suspensions.
Still, elite defenders like Suh are hard to come by, and somebody will undoubtedly pay him the money he wants. It just seems like it may not be in Detroit, as they have to be getting tired of his antics, and they have a pretty capable replacement in Nick Fairley.
