Pacheco's extended absence leaves Detroit without the veteran back expected to complement Jahmyr Gibbs, increasing the importance of Sione Vaki and Jacoby Saylors behind him.
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.
Joseph's early absence removes Detroit's best ball-hawking safety from a defense that already trails the offense in PFM's team profile. Losing him alongside Brian Branch makes the opening secondary thinner.
Christian Mahogany finished Friday as a full participant and carries no game designation against the Jets.
Blake Miller finished Friday as a full participant and carries no game designation against the Jets.
