## Resource

ESPN’s top-10 safeties list has Brian Branch at No. 4 and Kerby Joseph at No. 9—proof the Detroit Lions’ secondary is loaded, even with injuries. Branch was a pass-breakup machine, Joseph’s interception stats are elite. Both are game-changers when healthy. With starters sidelined, Clark and Izien are stepping up—ideally, Joseph and Clark start while Branch recovers, giving the Lions a rock-solid safety duo to anchor a defense needing depth, especially at cornerback.
