Isaiah Buggs: Suspension lifted
The NFL reinstated Buggs on Tuesday after he served a 10-game suspension, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The league handed Buggs a 10-game suspension in late August, which stemmed from his arrest in June of 2024 on second-degree charges of domestic violence and burglary. The 2019 sixth-rounder has served his suspension, and he is now eligible to sign with a team. Buggs last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Lions, when he tallied 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 10 games.

Isaiah Buggs: Handed 10-game suspension
The NFL has suspended Buggs, who is currently a free agent, for 10 games, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Buggs' suspension stems from an arrest last June on second-degree charges of domestic violence and burglary. He eventually pleaded guilty to a criminal trespass charge this past March, and the league has suspended him for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. Buggs was released by Kansas City shortly after his arrest and hasn't signed with another club since.

Isaiah Buggs: Let go by Detroit
The Lions waived Buggs on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Tuesday that Alim McNeill (knee) could come off injured reserve and return to the field this weekend, so the Lions likely parted ways with Buggs to open up a roster spot. The fifth-year pro had spent the last two seasons in Detroit, appearing in 27 games and recording 58 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, while also deflecting three passes.

Lions' Isaiah Buggs: Returns to practice
Buggs (illness) was listed as a full participant for Monday's walkthrough on the Lions' injury report.
Buggs should be clear for the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers after missing their win over the Bears on Sunday. Considering his participation level was just an estimate, his status for Tuesday's practice should offer more clarity on his status.

Lions' Isaiah Buggs: Missing Week 11
Buggs (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
The 27-year-old nose tackle did not practice all week as he continues to deal with an illness, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive for Sunday's contest. With Buggs missing time, Levi Onwuzurike and Brodric Martin should see increased snaps as rotational defensive linemen this weekend.

Lions' Isaiah Buggs: Out for Thursday's game
Buggs is a healthy scratch for the season opener against the Chiefs on Thursday night.
The Lions' starting nose tackle from 2022 was losing snaps during training camp and the preseason to Brodric Martin and Benito Jones. Buggs signed a two-year, $6 million extension in the offseason after recording 46 tackles and 10 quarterback hits last year.

Lions' Isaiah Buggs: Likely to lose starting role
Buggs may be a healthy scratch in Thursday's season opener against Kansas City, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Buggs has missed recent practice time due to an "illness" while concurrently expressing frustration that he was told by coaches that he wouldn't be active for Week 1. The news comes as a surprise after Buggs was rewarded with a $6 million deal this offseason, presumably with the intention of returning as Detroit's starting nose tackle. Both Brodric Martin and Benito Jones have cut into Buggs' reps during training camp and the preseason.
