The Future of Branch

It's never good when a player is healthy and is left behind on a team's road trip. Such was the case with DL Alan Branch. Something is going on. It remains to be seen what his role is for the rest of the season.

Branch had a great season last year and was awarded a contract extension. He came into camp out of shape and spent too much time on the sidelines. His playing time has decreased the last few weeks.

Coach Belichick has no problems moving on from situations like this.
