Tyvon Branch: Still not signed
Branch (knee) remains unsigned, ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss reports.
Branch piled up 69 tackles in nine games for the Cardinals last season before his injury issues re-surfaced in November in the form of a torn ACL. An above-average starter when healthy, the 31-year-old safety has played double-digit games just once in the past five seasons. Despite owning a career average of 5.8 tackles per game, he may have a tough time attracting interest on the open market, as there's no assurance he'll be ready by Week 1.

Cardinals' Tyvon Branch: Upcoming unrestricted free agent
Branch (knee) will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
Branch landed a two-year deal with the Cardinals in March of 2016, but his susceptibility to injury forced IR stays in both campaigns. In 2016, he dealt with a groin tear and had to accept a $2 million paycut in order to return to Arizona this past season. Prior to tearing his ACL in Week 10, Branch was among the Cards' leading tacklers with 69 stops. On the latter occasion, rookie safety Budda Baker emerged as a force in a stacked secondary, so it wouldn't surprise if general manager Steve Keim lets the 31-year-old Branch search for employment elsewhere in the offseason.

Cardinals' Tyvon Branch: Paces team in tackles
Branch racked up a team-high 10 solo tackles and a pass breakup Sunday against the 49ers.
This was Branch's fourth double-digit tackle performance of the season, and with 69 tackles (54 solo) at the halfway mark, he's on pace to shatter his career high of 106 tackles. Branch has been fairly consistent, too, recording seven or more tackles in six of this season's eight games. The veteran safety should be considered a universal IDP threat.

Cardinals' Tyvon Branch: Totals six tackles Sunday
Branch accrued six tackles (four solo) and a pass defended during Sunday's 38-33 victory versus the Buccaneers.
Branch has taken full advantage of a regular role this season, leading all Cardinals defenders in usage (98.5 percent of the defensive snaps) and sitting in a tie for first in the entire NFL with 55 tackles. On the latter point, he's the sole defensive back in the top 12, elevating him further in the IDP ranks. In order to keep hold of the lead, though, he'll have to revert to his output from the first five games, when he reached double-digit stops on three occasions.

Cardinals' Tyvon Branch: Suits up, plays Saturday
Branch (groin) played 14 of 54 defensive snaps during Saturday's preseason victory over the Raiders, Mike Jurecki of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
A starter as part of a five-man defensive backfield for the Cardinals, Branch notched four tackles (two solo) during his limited time on the field.
