The league is suspending Lions S Brian Branch one game for his shot to Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster at the end of Sunday night's loss to Kansas City. Branch is reportedly appealing the punishment. We should get word on that decision ahead of Monday's game against the Bucs. You should expect to not have Branch in your Week 7 IDP lineup.
