Lions' Brian Branch Doubtful for MNF vs. Seahawks Due to Illness

The star defensive back, who recently cleared concussion protocol, has been added to the injury report and is unlikely to play Monday night.

Brian Branch, a key defensive back for the Detroit Lions, is listed as doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks due to an illness.
Branch had just cleared concussion protocol after a helmet-to-helmet hit in last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Lions are already dealing with multiple injuries, including two other defensive starters who were injured in the game against the Cardinals.
Backup safety Ifeatu Melifonwu is on injured reserve, leaving Brandon Joseph as the likely replacement for Branch in the secondary.
Branch leads the NFL with seven pass breakups and has recorded one interception and 22 tackles this season.
