The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on “Monday Night Football.” Branch was added to the injury report on Sunday morning with an illness and was listed as doubtful.

A…

The respect for the Detroit Lions’ organization continues to pour out, and it’s not just from media and fans. In a recent survey done by The Athletic that polled “35 high-ranking executives and five coaches,” the Lions front office came out as one of the most well-respected in the entire NFL.
