Lions list Brian Branch as questionable due to illness

Lions list Brian Branch as questionable due to illness

Lions safety Brian Branch did not receive an injury designation Saturday, but the team put him back on the report Sunday.

Branch is now listed as questionable to play against the Seahawks on Monday night. Illness is listed as the reason Branch returned to the injury report.

Branch suffered a concussion last Sunday, but he participated on a limited basis in Thursday’s practice and was a full participant the next two days. This earned him clearance to play, but Sunday’s developments now make his presence in the lineup unlikely.

Center Frank Ragnow (pectoral) is the only Lions player ruled out for Monday. Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw is listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury.
