NFL suspends former Detroit Lions CB Cam Sutton for 8 games

Former Detroit Lions cornerback Cam Sutton was given a lengthy suspension on Monday.

The NFL announced an eight-game suspension for Sutton at the start of the 2024 season for violating the league’s conduct rules following an NFL investigation. Sutton, now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, was suspended without pay for the first half of the season following a domestic dispute in Florida in March that led to him being charged with one count of domestic violence.

According to the league, he will be eligible to return to his position on October 29. ESPN reported that Sutton will not appeal the decision, which is “final.”

The Lions cut ties with Sutton, whom they signed for three years and $33 million in the 2023 offseason, a day after the charges became public when the local police department posted online that Sutton was wanted in the investigation into the incident. According to team president Rod Wood, Sutton was at the Lions’ facility when the team learned of the incident and asked him to turn himself in.

Two months after the Lions released him, Sutton signed a one-year veterans contract with his former team in Pittsburgh. Sutton spent his first six NFL seasons with the Steelers before joining the Lions as a free agent last year. He became the Lions’ best cornerback in a secondary that struggled last season and ranked near the bottom in most pass defense categories.
