Dan Campbell hints at who will play alongside Brian Branch at safety
The Detroit Lions face an interesting decision on who plays alongside Brian Branch at safety.
Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch is expected to play alongside veteran Chuck Clark and rookie Keith Abney during the team's upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Dan Campbell. Branch, who recently returned from a 10+ month Achilles tear rehab, is a versatile player who can excel both high and underneath, providing flexibility to the defense.
While Clark brings experience and reliability, Abney is an athletic defender with strong range. The Lions coach acknowledges that the decision-making process will involve weighing the importance of stopping Green Bay's top threats, Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, as well as their Pro Bowl tight end, Tucker Kraft. Campbell stated that the Lions will "pick their poison" and prepare for the challenges posed by the Packers' passing game.
