The NFL announced Monday that Branch has been suspended one game following his altercation after Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs, which rules him out for Week 7 against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Lions have a bye Week 8, meaning Branch will next be eligible to play Week 9 against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 2. He played 100 percent of defensive snaps versus Kansas City despite being listed as 'questionable' contest due to an ankle injury, recording a season-high seven total tackles (four solo). As a result of Branch's suspension, Thomas Harper and Erick Hallett will be candidates to handle increased snaps at safety alongside starter Kerby Joseph versus Tampa Bay.
does it really matter??? i mean trash talk on the field has been going on for 100 years... getting inside the other guys head is a sport unto itself... getting a guy thrown out of the game is an art.... i hear the big bad safety was mad about being bullied at school... i think it was funny...
after the game yer supposed to shake hands and let it go.... thats called sportsmanship....
