ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions had some explaining to do when they signed free agent tight end Andrew Quarless.Theres no doubt Quarless could fill a need for the Lions, with tight ends Eric Ebron and Brandon Pettigrew recovering from injuries. The issue is that Lions general manager Bob Quinn said previously he had zero tolerance for domestic violence and dangerous weapons, and Quarless was sentenced to a year of probation and fined $1,000 for firing a gun in Miami Beach, Florida, last year.Quarless has been suspended for the first two games of this coming regular season for violating the leagues personal conduct policy. Hes allowed to play during the preseason.We are aware of the upcoming NFL suspension of Andrew Quarless, Quinn said in a statement Monday.We have thoroughly researched the incident that caused the suspension and have talked at length with Andrew about this. Andrew has been forthright and honest about the situation and he has gone through the process within the legal system.As an organization we are comfortable with adding Andrew to the roster and look forward to seeing him compete for the rest of the preseason.After taking over as GM in January, Quinn told reporters: The two things that are zero tolerance are domestic violence and dangerous weapons. Those are the two things Im not going to stand for, I dont believe in. Thats how I feel.Coach Jim Caldwell saidd after practice Monday that its important to look at every case on its own.ddddddddddddObviously we take a look at anybody thats available for us and do our proper vetting and move on from there, Caldwell said.I certainly believe in second chances.

Hes eager to put last years incident behind him.You can judge anybody. First youve got to look in the mirror first, before you judge somebody, he said. Its something I moved forward from, and Ive taken steps to move forward progressively, and Im just looking forward to being a part of this organization.The Lions also announced that they have signed linebacker Dominique Tovell, waived tight end Ben McCord and put wide receiver Andre Caldwell on injured reserve.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
