US EditionDetroit Lions Rule Out All-Pro Safety, List 7 Others as Questionable vs. Rams
Joseph misses eighth straight game due to shoulder injury and possible IR move while Branch is out for the season with Achilles injury, Lions list seven others as questionable.
- On Sunday, the Detroit Lions ruled out safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch for their game in Allen Park, listing seven other players as questionable.
- Because of season-ending and lingering injuries, Brian Branch is out with an Achilles injury and Kerby Joseph suffered a setback, missing his eighth straight game and possibly moving to injured reserve, per Dan Campbell, head coach.
- The injury report also listed Taylor Decker, Kalif Raymond, Thomas Harper, Kayode Awosika, Christian Mahogany, Sione Vaki and Shane Zylstra as questionable, and the Lions have only one tight end on their 53-man roster while hoping to get Zylstra back after two weeks of practice.
- With both safeties unavailable, the Detroit Lions must rely on Thomas Harper and Avonte Maddox, cornerback, while the game’s outcome affects playoff implications with the Rams clinching or Lions pursuing wild-card positioning.
- Depth questions persist as the Lions face a guard decision after Kayode Awosika missed last week, with Trystan Colon and Miles Frazier splitting duties, while Taylor Decker did not practice and Christian Mahogany had limited reps.
