Episode Details

Detroit Lions’ key defensive players Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are starting the 2026 season on the reserve/PUP list, missing the first four games as they rehab serious injuries — Branch’s Achilles tear from last December and Joseph’s undisclosed ailment. GM Brad Holmes remains optimistic about their return, emphasizing caution under head coach Dan Campbell’s philosophy. Branch, who totaled 48 tackles and an interception before his injury, is expected to be monitored closely. With Week One against the Saints looming, the team’s focus is on their full recovery — no rush, no shortcuts — to ensure they’re ready to make a big impact when they return.
