Lions’ Young allowed to practice with team

Published: November 29, 2012 

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit wide receiver Titus Young has returned to the team.

Young practiced Wednesday for the first time since the Lions told him to stay away. He was deactivated for Detroit’s 34-31 overtime loss to Houston last week because coach Jim Schwartz said his behavior was “unacceptable” during the previous setback to Green Bay.

The second-year pro, a second-round draft pick from Boise State, has 33 catches for 383 yards and four touchdowns this season. He had 48 receptions for 607 yards and six TDs last year.

Young was in the back of the line as receivers went through various drills Wednesday while the media had access to practice.

He is not expected to speak with reporters until Friday.

ALLEN FINED FOR HIT: Vikings defensive end Jared Allen’s hit on Lance Louis on Sunday knocked the Bears guard out for the rest of the season. It also earned Allen, a former Idaho State star, a hefty penalty, as he was fined $21,000 by the NFL for the hit on Wednesday. Allen hit Louis with a block after an interception by Antoine Winfield. Louis didn’t see Allen coming, and his leg stuck in the turf and tore the ACL in his left knee.
