Lions' Brian Branch, DJ Wonnum taken to locker room after collision
Two Detroit Lions players were taken to the locker room for concussion evaluations after a collision on Sunday.
In the second quarter of Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings game on November 1, a collision involving wide receiver Justin Jefferson led to two Detroit Lions players being taken to the locker room. Jefferson had caught a pass and was running when DJ Wonnum pursued him, attempting to tackle him from behind while Brian Branch came from in front.
The two collided head-on, with both being listed as questionable to return after being placed in concussion protocol. Wonnum remained on the ground after the play, appearing visibly shaken, and was eventually carted to the locker room. Branch rejoined the huddle but was quickly taken out of the game and evaluated further. The Lions were struggling in the first half, with center Cade Mays questionable for return due to an ankle injury, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown who briefly left the game before returning.
