Lions Get 7th Rounder Back

[Pugz]

NFL.com - Detroit's seventh-round selection in this year's NFL draft has been returned after a hearing on their appeal of sanctions issued for violating the league's tampering policy.

The Lions instead will lose one pick in the 2012 draft: a sixth-rounder if they make the playoffs and a seventh-rounder if they don't, according to a league source.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Feb. 18 stripped the Lions of their 2011 seventh-round pick (205th overall), acquired in a trade with the Broncos, for publicly commenting on their desire to acquire players then under contract to the Chiefs.
