Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch and linebacker DJ Wonnum have been ruled out after suffering concussions in a collision during the team's recent game. The incident occurred on November 1, 2026, leaving both players sidelined as they enter the NFL's concussion protocol.
The Lions will be without two key defensive contributors as they prepare for upcoming matchups. Branch, a versatile secondary player, and Wonnum, an edge rusher, both sustained the head injuries in the same play. The team has not provided a timetable for their return, pending further evaluation by medical staff.
