Description

Detroit Lions defense suffers major blow with safety Brian Branchs torn Achilles tendon, sidelining him for the rest of the season and casting doubt on his 2026 availability. The team, already dealing with cornerback Terrion Arnolds season-ending shoulder injury and safety Kerby Josephs knee injury, may explore free agency for reinforcements, with Pro Bowl safeties Justin Simmons and Tyrann Mathieu potentially joining their playoff push.
