What happened: Dan Campbell updated the secondary timeline after the Week 2 loss. He tabbed Branch as nearer to returning than Joseph. Both have stayed on PUP since late August.

Why it matters: Detroit opened camp with both starting safeties sidelined. The continued absence thins the back end and pushes depth safeties into larger roles.

What to watch: Watch next week's practice designations for a change in status. An outside addition at safety remains possible if the absence stretches.
