Lions, Cardinals Week 5 injury report: Brian Branch, Cade Mays return to practice
Taking a closer look at the Lions and Cardinals initial injury report for Week 5.
The Detroit Lions will face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, and both teams trained on Wednesday to prepare for the game. The Lions reported that safety Brian Branch (32) and rookie Cade Mays returned to practice and began their 21-day evaluation windows. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are dealing with several injuries from their last game.
RB Isiah Pacheco is out for the season with an MCL/Back injury, while Cade Mays has a wrist injury and is eligible to begin practicing at any time. Defensive tackle Tyleik Williams (foot) and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (hamstring) are also injured, with Williams being day-to-day and Ya-Sin's injury more concerning.
Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism about both Branch and Mays returning to practice this week, emphasizing that their inclusion in the 21-day evaluation window allows the team to work them into practice. If both return, they could potentially start in the upcoming game against the Cardinals.
