Brian Branch had surgery to repair torn Achilles tendon. The expectation is he'll be back at some point in 2026 season, Lions coach Dan Campbell said.

Jayson Tatum is making strong progress in the rehab process from his ruptured right Achilles tendon. The Celtics star posted videos on his social media accounts showcasing him playing 1-on-1 with Celtics assistant coaches at the Auerbach Center.

Dan Campbell said the tendon is repaired, “and it sounds like everything went well.” When it comes to a timeline, the Lions coach said they were told the standard eight to 12-month recovery process. Branch is out for the rest of the season, and this injury could cut into next season based on that timeline.
