Former offensive lineman, Matt Branch, was seriously injured in a hunting accident yesterday. He and his family need prayers and support at this difficult time.

WTF? Do you have a backstory?

Prayers sent for him and his family.

Still critical in ICU on a ventilator, but has started to become responsive with his eyes and simple head movement at times. Will have another surgery later today to remove the shunt in his leg and finish amputating dead tissue. Not out of the woods yet, but definitely looking A LOT better than it was.

Update. Matt is stable. More surgery being considered. One very tough man.

Life can be taken away in an instant. He is lucky to be in the position to be fighting for his life. I hope for a quick recovery.

Wow. The Branches are good people. This is awful news. Hang in there and be strong, Matt.

Matt has undergone additional surgery to improve circulation. He’s still in ICU. It’s a miracle he’s alive...but he is recovering.

A GoFundMe is running on Facebook. Please consider helping his young family. His road to recovery will be lengthy.
