Despite the injury, general manager Brad Holmes confirmed that the team's long-term plans for Branch remain unchanged. He is expected to return to the field at some point this season. Branch remains a core member of the Lions' 2023 draft class alongside teammates Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Jack Campbell.
