Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch said the defense is going into this season hungry.

Injuries derailed the Lions’ defense all season; at one point the team had 21 players on injured reserve, 16 of which were on defense. The Lions will also be dealing with some turnover after losing defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to the New York Jets and several key contributors to free agency. But Branch told the Detroit Free Press that the team’s chemistry will carry them through.
