The Detroit Lions were left wondering whether or not star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh would report to organized team activities this offseason after he skipped out on the team’s voluntary pre-draft minicamp.

However, it seems like there are no longer any concerns as the Lions expect to see Suh report to OTAs which begin on Tuesday.

“Obviously he’s a great player and he’s also got great leadership ability as well, so to have him back here working amongst the group is going to be a great time for everybody,” Lions head coach Jim Caldwell said, via the Detroit Free Press.

The good news for Lions fans is that Caldwell has also been in contact from Suh, so he will be familiar with his new coach whenever he finally decides to show up.

The only question is how long Suh will stick around, as he continues to work on a long-term contract extension.
