title: Detroit Lions Player's Suspension Overturnedtext: Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has won his appeal and will play in a playoff game Sunday at Dallas against the Cowboys. Instead, Suh was given a $70,000 fine. The NFL suspended Suh on Monday after he stepped on the leg of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Detroit's 30-20 loss on Sunday. NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks ruled that Suh engaged in a non-football act which placed Rodgers at unnecessary risk of injury.

Before the appeal was announced, Rodgers told ESPN, "The only thing I can say is if you step on something in your everyday life or if you step on somebody on the field, the first reaction seems to be looking back and maybe apologizing with your hands."media: 27923027
