PFM Impact on Detroit Lions
Isiah PachecoMeaningful impact
Pacheco's IR move takes Detroit's primary backup out of the backfield for at least four games and pushes Jacob Saylors into the No. 2 role. Jahmyr Gibbs keeps the offense's ceiling intact, but the loss adds to a depth concern PFM already had entering Week 1.
Roster StrengthOffense Rating
Brian BranchMeaningful impact
Branch is unavailable for at least Detroit's first four games, taking away one of the defense's most versatile pieces. With Kerby Joseph also on PUP, PFM will review the secondary and defensive depth.
