Summary
Detroit Lions’ safety depth is in serious jeopardy heading into 2026 training camp, with key players Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch facing major health questions. Joseph’s future is uncertain, possibly sidelined or placed on injured reserve, while Branch, recovering from a ruptured Achilles, might return as late as October—potentially in Week 5, timed to ease back into action before a bye. With both starters sidelined early, the defense’s secondary is under immense pressure to step up, making this one of the most critical storylines to watch all offseason.
