Lions' Brian Branch: Suspended one game
The NFL announced Monday that Branch has been suspended one game following his altercation after Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs, which rules him out for Week 7 against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The Lions have a bye Week 8, meaning Branch will next be eligible to play Week 9 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 2. He played 100 percent of defensive snaps versus Kansas City despite being listed as 'questionable' contest due to an ankle injury, recording a season-high seven total tackles (four solo). As a result of Branch's suspension, Thomas Harper and Erick Hallett will be candidates to handle increased snaps at safety alongside starter Kerby Joseph versus Tampa Bay.

Lions' Brian Branch: Questionable for Week 6
Branch (ankle) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Branch sustained an ankle injury during the Lions' Week 5 win over the Bengals. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before sitting out Friday's session, and his official status may not be known until the Lions announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The Lions' secondary is dealing with multiple injuries, so Branch's absence may lead to Thomas Harper and Loren Strickland -- both of whom have been restricted to special-teams work this season -- seeing the field on defense.
