Brian Branch ruptured his Achilles on December 4, 2025. We haven't seen much of his rehab publicly until the last few days.
Here is the analysis on Branch's rehab from Mailbag & June 2026 Rehab Updates for Alim McNeill, Kerby Joseph, & Brian Branch:

While it’s great to see glimpses of Branch’s rehab, this video provides little to no information about how recovery from his right Achilles rupture is going. The most we see is Branch doing light jogging. It’s a promotional video so there’s not much of substance.
I have no records of Branch with a back issue while with the Lions, so any back work is likely just maintenance. The vast majority of Branch’s health issues have involved his legs.
While it’s possible Branch is evolving into his final alien form, more likely he is training with a Boost treadmill, which uses an air bubble to offload body weight. It’s a similar concept to underwater rehab.
The hope is to see some cutting, jumping, and sprinting drills soon for Branch, who is 6 months post. For reference, here is a recent video (via @Jones11_) of Bills DE Michael Hoecht who is 7 months post Achilles…

Dr J. - looked like male physio was carrying out back treatment ( think I've had that treatment ).
Indicative of anything or just standard mobility/ maintaince ?

Is Brian Branch emerging from an alien cocoon?
