Branch suspended for 1 game after altercation
Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch has been suspended by the NFL for one game without pay due to unsportsmanlike conduct after striking Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, sparking a fight. NFL VP of football operations Jon Runyan cited Branch’s actions as posing a serious risk of injury and violating conduct standards. Branch plans to appeal the suspension, which would be heard by a jointly appointed hearing officer. This incident occurred during Sunday’s game between the Lions and Chiefs, resulting in a brief altercation involving several players. Branch also received a fine for previous penalties.
