Detroit Lions defensive backs Kerby Joseph, Terrion Arnold and Avonte Maddox have been ruled out against Tampa Bay on Monday night due to injuries, a setback for a secondary without suspended safety Brian Branch. The NFL suspended Branch for one game for throwing a punch and starting a postgame melee after last week’s loss at Kansas City. The Buccaneers may get a boost with what has been a short-handed group of receivers by the potential return of six-time Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans and rookie Emeka Egbuka, who are listed as questionable with hamstring injuries.
