Default question about rear brake

My rear brake pedal has a weird bumping sensation at low speeds over rough roads.

Nothing is loose in the pedal and it feels like a something bumping around

The rear suspension feels tight so all I can think of is the caliper using its slack

Are you riding with your foot on the beake pedal ? Don't do that. The brakes get hot enough as it is without you riding the brake. Does it feel like it's pulsing ? Or is it in the suspension travel ?
