Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch returned to practice as a full participant on Thursday, according to a report from The Detroit News. The second-year defensive back had been limited in recent sessions, and his return to full activity signals positive progress for the Lions' secondary.
Branch, a key contributor to Detroit's defense since being drafted in 2023, took part in all drills during the Thursday session. The Lions are preparing for their upcoming matchup as they continue their 2026 campaign.
