MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan University football coach Brian Kelly has announced that Spencer Lewis and James Cooper have been suspended from the Chippewa football team indefinitely. The status of Jerry Seymour, who had previously been suspended from the team, remains unchanged.

The suspensions are a result of the arrests made from the indictments handed down from the one-man Grand Jury investigating the death of Demarcus Graham.
