Lions List Top Safeties as Game-Time Decisions for Week 6 at Chiefs

Detroit faces a depleted secondary, prompting contingency planning.

Overview

  • Head coach Dan Campbell said Brian Branch, who has a foot injury, will not practice Friday and will be a game-time decision.
  • Campbell added that Kerby Joseph, dealing with a knee issue, also missed Friday’s practice and will be decided at kickoff.
  • Avonte Maddox sustained a hamstring injury in Thursday’s session and will be evaluated for availability on game night.
  • With D.J. Reed on injured reserve and Terrion Arnold out with a shoulder injury, only safeties Loren Strickland and Thomas Harper are healthy on the 53-man roster and they primarily play special teams.
  • Campbell pledged the Lions will be ready with contingency plans, as Branch awaited imaging Thursday and Joseph recently played through the knee injury and logged an interception in Week 5.
