Summary
Despite battling major injuries last season, Detroit Lions safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph still ranked top ten in their position according to ESPN’s expert poll—Branch at No. 4, Joseph at No. 9. Branch, sidelined by an Achilles tear, showed elite versatility and instincts before his injury, while Joseph, limited to just six games due to a knee issue, was a standout ball hawk when healthy. Both players were praised for their impact, but their availability remains uncertain heading into 2026, leaving the Lions’ defense’s ceiling—and their playoff hopes—hanging in the balance.
