Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has insisted that defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will take his place at the club's organised team activities, which start this week.

Suh did not take part in the Lions' voluntary minicamp recently, but Caldwell said that he did not expect the player to skip the OTAs as well.

"Do I know that he'll be here?" Caldwell told Oregon Live. "I would anticipate that he would be here."

The 2014 season will be Suh's last year of his current Lions contract.
