DETROIT (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is planning to attend this weekend’s Vikings-Lions game in Detroit and will hold a fan forum before the game.

The league confirmed Goodell’s plans Tuesday night and said more details would be announced Wednesday. Detroit takes on Minnesota at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The Lions have had Goodell’s attention recently. Defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh (ehn-DAHM’-uh-kehn soo) was suspended two games for roughing up a Green Bay lineman in a Thanksgiving game — less than a month after Suh initiated a meeting with the commissioner to discuss his on-field conduct.

Suh sat out the first game of his suspension last weekend against New Orleans.
