Former Cicero-North Syracuse standout Tyvon Branch injured his knee last week and is out for the season.
Branch injured himself defending Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham on a touchdown reception. Branch’s foot awkwardly planted trying to force a fumble.
It's a blow to the Arizona Cardinals defense and -- while probably not relevant to the discussion given how the injury occurred -- won't stop a growing number of critics lashing out on Thursday Night Football and the toll a quick turnaround from the previous week's game takes on the players.
