Head coach Dan Campbell provided an update on Lions defensive back Brian Branch’s health on Thursday. Branch was observed using a knee scooter and wearing a walking boot during his visit to Detroit for the draft last month.
Although the specific type of Branch’s condition was not disclosed by Campbell, the 2023 second-round selection “had a little cleanup” of an injury that the organization believed would heal on its own. Before estimating when Branch would likely return to the field, Campbell made a joke about the fact that he also enjoyed riding the scooter.
According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, Campbell stated, “We feel like he’s progressing well.” “We think he’ll be prepared for camp, if not ahead of schedule, and he’ll get enough reps to be ready for the season.
” We currently feel like way. During the regular season and playoffs last year, Branch made appearances in 18 games, starting ten of them. In those games, he recorded 94 tackles, two sacks, three interceptions, and one forced fumble.
