After Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, Lions coach Dan Campbell called safety Brian Branch’s postgame actions “ inexcusable .” On Tuesday, Campbell made it clear that Branch knows he was in the wrong.

“I saw him yesterday before [the suspension] came down, he knows all this,” Campbell told reporters, via Ben Raven of MLive.com. “ He’ll learn from it . This was one instance of something that happens, it doesn’t matter what led to it . . . you can’t take out your aggression on somebody else. Can’t cross that line. . . . He’s an outstanding young man. He’s got a great heart.”

Branch claimed after the incident that he was upset because Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had blocked him in the back.
