Brian Branch: questionable for Sunday with Achilles injury

THE FACT. Detroit listed safety Brian Branch as questionable for Sunday against Green Bay, one of two Lions carrying a designation on the Friday injury report, per Sports Illustrated's John Maakaron. NFL.com's Friday roundup lists the injury as an Achilles problem.

THE VERDICT. IDP: Branch is an every-week starter when healthy, and a Friday questionable means he practiced enough to be trending toward playing. Hold him and check the inactives before kickoff. If you have a clean safety replacement already on your bench, the swap is defensible, but do not drop him. Redraft: no impact in standard formats.
