The Detroit Lions headed back to Michigan, licking their wounds after being soundly beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs, 30-17. But the bad news did not stop with the loss.
On Monday, it was revealed that Lions safety Brian Branch has been suspended without pay for one game, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The news comes following his altercation with Chiefs wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.
Branch has the opportunity to appeal the suspension. However, knowing the league referenced the current CBA (collective bargaining agreement), it appears to be unlikely that the suspension would be overturned.
This is a developing story with more to follow.
