Safety Kerby Joseph recently revealed that he had hip surgery and will not play until the start of training camp, so the Detroit Lions won’t have him until then. Online discussion was sparked by a recent picture of defensive back Brian Branch. Detroit’s second-year defender was seen walking around on a scooter with first-round draft pick Terrion Arnold in a boot. Supporters expressed concern and questioned the extent of his injury, despite the fact that the nature of it is unknown. Branch is likely to be used by Detroit’s secondary this season. Branch could get more playing time at the safety position in his second NFL season. Through free agency and the draft, Detroit has revamped its secondary, giving them a lot of options. “Since presently he’s been in the framework a year,” Dan Campbell made sense of. “He gets it. It helps that he understands the nickel position in a completely different way. He can now begin seriously diving into the safety position. It does assist. See, it is hard as a newbie. It’s difficult to come in there and learn, play at an undeniable level and do it reliably. So, yes, he’ll be much more at ease this year.” Detroit tried to have the talented defender learn to play safety in his rookie season, but he soon felt that distracted him from working on getting better at nickel cornerback. “We attempted to get over some (in 2023) and we felt like we split his concentrate too early,” said Campbell. “It all makes sense to he’ll. It’s simply, we should coddle it rather than attempting to toss him out there. Allow him to develop further at the nickel position. We will be able to follow him wherever he leads us.
