NFL Draft Injury Analysis: Brandon Cisse, CB - South Carolina
admin_news
Could the Lions go CB in the early rounds of the draft? If they do so, they should probably target one with a low medical concern level. Brandon Cisse is young, but has been banged up many times over his college career. The accumulation of injuries might be too concerning for the Lions.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Brandon Cisse:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Brandon Cisse, CB (21) - South Carolina
Projected round 2. #37 on Daniel Jeremiah board Feb 23.
Concern level 4/10
- 2025: 12/12 games. Exited Game 2 with upper body injury. Knee injury Game 6. Exited Game 10 with undisclosed minor injury.
- 2024: 9/13 games. Played with left forearm cast early in season. Missed 3 games with wrist. Exited regular season finale with possible upper-body injury and missed bowl game.
- 2023: 13/13 games
Cisse has a long list of various injuries in his final 2 seasons that medical will need to sort out. Is he injury-prone or just unlucky? Always a difficult question to answer.
Fortunately, none of his injuries appear to be of a major variety, and he is very young.
