News

  • Should be 100 percent for camp

    Joseph (hip) -- who won't take part in practices this spring -- expects to be fully healthy by the start of training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Joseph underwent an offseason procedure to address a hip injury that originally occurred in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. Though he returned to play after missing two contests en route to logging 82 tackles and four picks in 15 regular-season outings overall, the issue evidently lingered to the point that it required attention following the postseason. Once he's back to 100 percent, Joseph will reprise his starting free safety role with the Lions.

  • Out until training camp

    Joseph (hip) will not be cleared to practice until training camp, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Joseph is bouncing back from an offseason procedure to address a hip injury that he sustained in Week 2 of the 2023 season. Assuming he returns to health in time to begin the coming campaign, Joseph figures to serve as Detroit's starting free safety and is likely to rack up tackles and pass breakups in that role.

  • Another productive season

    Joseph (arm) registered 82 tackles and 11 passes defended including four interceptions over 15 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Joseph continued to make a name for himself in Detroit after posting a second straight season with four interceptions. The Illinois product also held quarterbacks to a 58.5 QBR in coverage while not allowing a touchdown all season. With Tracy Walker out of the picture and C.J. Gardner-Johnson uncertain to return to Detroit this offseason, Joseph enters the 2024 campaign as Detroit's clear top option at free safety and he has the potential for triple-digit tackles with double-digit PDefs if he…read more

  • Exits game with arm injury

    Joseph (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph sustained the injury in the third quarter. He had two tackles (one solo) before his exit. In Joseph's absence, Ifeatu Melifonwu will likely slot into the free safety spot alongside strong safety starter C.J. Gardner-Johnson, while Will Harris provides depth.

  • Has monster day at Minnesota

    Joseph recorded nine tackles (six solo) and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 win at Minnesota.

    Analysis: Joseph's first pick came toward the end of the first half, and his second came in the middle of the fourth quarter. Both came on deep pass attempts by Nick Mullens. Joseph's nine total tackles were also good for the team lead in Week 16. The Lions will travel to Dallas Saturday.

  • Snags second pick

    Joseph recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one interception in the Lions' victory over the Chargers in Week 10.

    Analysis: Joseph picked off Justin Herbert for his second interception of the season. His seven tackles were also his third highest total of the season. The safety was reliable once again, seeing the field for 61 defensive snaps (90 percent). He will look to stay productive in Week 11 versus the Bears.

  • Gets first INT of 2023 in win

    Joseph had two solo tackles and an interception in Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: His interception of Jimmy Garoppolo came one play after the Lions turned the ball over in Detroit territory. Joseph's two tackles in the win was by far his lowest of the season but came on a night when Garoppolo completed just 10 of 21 passes for 126 yards.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Joseph registered 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Joseph left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game to be evaluated for a concussion, though Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reported Monday that the safety did not suffer a brain injury. His 10 tackles against the Ravens was a season high and he's now up to 31 total tackles for the season, which is tied for third on the team. Joseph and the Lions' defense will look to bounce back in Week 8 against the Raiders on Monday night.

  • Clears concussion check

    Joseph didn't suffer a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Joseph exited the game late in the second half and underwent concussion testing, but it was deemed he didn't suffer a brain injury. The second-year safety has started all five games he's appeared in this season, registering 31 tackles (26 solo) and three pass breakups. He should be good to go next Monday night against the Raiders.

  • Leaves game versus Ravens

    Joseph is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's loss to the Ravens in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: Joseph left the game after logging 10 tackles (nine solo) and did not return. While the Lions have yet to announce if the 2022 third-round pick did in fact suffer a concussion, Tuesday's injury report should provide more clarity on Joseph's status.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Joseph (hip) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Joseph missed the past two games after sustaining a hip injury in Week 2 against the Seahawks. His return is a welcome one for a Lions' secondary that is without Brian Branch (ankle) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, (pectoral) who is still on IR.

  • Questionable to return for Week 5

    Joseph (hip) is deemed questionable to play against Carolina in Week 5 on Sunday.

    Analysis: Joseph sat out each of the Lions' past two contests due to the hip injury he suffered Week 2 versus Seattle. Things are looking up for his potential availability Sunday, however, as he followed a pair of limited practices to begin this week with a full practice session Friday. If Joseph is able to return, it would be a notable boost to a Detroit secondary that will be without Brian Branch (ankle) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who is on IR with a pectoral injury.

  • Still limited on practice estimate

    Joseph (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Detroit's practice estimate Wednesday.

    Analysis: Joseph has missed the Lions' last two games with a hip injury, and his availability for Week 5 is now up in the air as well. He'll likely have to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Inactive versus Green Bay

    Joseph (hip) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Joseph was listed as questionable with a hip issue he suffered in Week 2. The safety also missed last week's game against the Falcons. With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pec) already out, the Lions' safety depth is being tested early in the year.

  • Questionable for Thursday

    Joseph (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joseph missed last week's win against Atlanta but will have a chance to play Thursday after being limited in practice all week. If the 22-year-old is unable to go however, Brian Branch will likely start again.

  • Estimated as limited Monday

    Joseph (hip) was estimated as a limited participant at the Lions' walkthrough Monday.

    Analysis: After he sat out of Detroit's win versus Atlanta in Week 3, the estimation is a positive signal for Joseph's potential availability for Thursday at Green Bay. He'll get two more chances to get back to full participation before then.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    Joseph (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Atlanta.

    Analysis: Joseph hurt his hip early in last weekend's game against Seattle but was able to finish out the win. However, he didn't practice at all this week, thus his inactive status Sunday isn't a surprise. Ifeatu Melifonwu could take over as a starter in his absence.

  • Misses practice

    Joseph (hip) did not practice Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Joseph left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks early with the injury but was ultimately able to return to the game and play 88 percent of the team's snaps on defense. He'll work to return to practice Thursday and get healthy for a Week 3 tilt against the Falcons.

  • Returns to game

    Joseph (hip) has returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Joseph briefly left the game due to a hip injury, forcing Tracy Walker into action. However, Joseph has been cleared to return and should play a major role in Detroit's secondary the rest of the way.

  • Exits with hip injury

    Joseph left Sunday's game against Seattle with a hip injury and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Joseph departed during the Seahawks' opening drive and was subsequently seen running in front of trainers on the sideline. Tracy Walker subbed in after Joseph's exit and would presumably take over for the remainder of the game if the latter is unable to return.

  • Four picks as rookie

    Joseph tallied 83 tackles, eight pass breakups, four interceptions and two forced fumbles over 17 games in 2022.

    Analysis: Detroit's defense took a big hit after losing safety Tracy Walker (Achilles) in Week 3, but Joseph was largely successful in filling in for the veteran. Not only did the rookie manage to become the first player to ever pick off Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers three times in a year, Joseph simultaneously showed plenty of upside as an IDP asset -- starting with his 10-tackle, two-interception performance against Green Bay in Week 9. However, with Walker set to return in 2023, it is not clear as…read more

  • Clear of injury desigation

    Joseph (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Joseph was unable to practice Wednesday due to the back injury, but he improved enough over the past couple days to avoid an injury designation. The rookie third-round pick has 74 tackles (46 solo), three interceptions and two forced fumbles this season.

  • Upgrades to limited activity

    Joseph (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Joseph missed Wednesday's session entirely as a result of a back issue, but his upgrade to limited activity Thursday is an encouraging sign regarding his Week 17 availability. Considering that the rookie was able to play every defensive snap for Detroit in Week 16, expect him to practice without limitations Friday and eventually start at safety against the Bears on New Year's Day.

  • Dealing with back issue

    Joseph didn't practice Wednesday due to a back injury.

    Analysis: Joseph recorded seven tackles during the Lions' Week 16 loss to the Panthers, but he appears to have picked up a back injury as well. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

  • Amasses seven stops in loss

    Joseph recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 37-23 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Kerby's seven stops this past weekend now gives him a total of 73 in that category on the year. The rookie will likely continue operating in his usual every-down safety role when Detroit hosts the Bears on New Year's Day.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Joseph recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during the 40-14 win versus the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Joseph led the team in tackles, finishing with his second highest total on the season. The rookie third-round pick played every snap for the second week in a row, and has now done so in six games since taking over the starting job for Tracy Walker (Achilles) in Week 4. Joseph will look to maintain this level of production next week against the Vikings.

  • Adds seven more tackles

    Joseph recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Joseph put together another solid performance and was on the field for each of Detroit's defensive snaps (58). He's totaled 28 tackles (18 solo), four passes defended, two interceptions and two forced fumbles over his last four contests.

  • Will play Sunday

    Joseph is active for Sunday's matchup against Chicago.

    Analysis: Joseph was limited to start Week 10 prep due to concussion protocols, but he was upgraded to a full participant Friday and will be available Sunday. The rookie third-round pick is coming off a season-high 10 tackles against Green Bay and has totaled 21 stops over his past three appearances.

  • Gets in full practice Friday

    Joseph (concussion) was a full participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Chicago, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though he is not totally in the clear yet, that he practiced in full Friday is a good sign that Joseph should get clearance from team physicians to play in Week 10. If the rookie third-rounder can't play though, C.J. Moore could be in line to start alongside DeShon Elliott on Sunday.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Joseph (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Joesph landed in concussion protocol after colliding with teammate Jeff Okudah during the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers, but it's an encouraging sign to see the safety back at practice, albeit in a limited fashion, to start Week 10 prep. Joesph will likely have to log at least one full session to be cleared for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, but he'll have two more opportunities to do so.

  • Sustains concussion Sunday

    Lions coach Dan Campbell said that Joseph is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph was evaluated for a concussion after colliding with cornerback Jeff Okudah on a combined tackle during the second of Sunday's win, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. The rookie safety logged 22 tackles, one pass defended and two forced fumbles over the first seven contests of the season, and he played at least 90 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps in all but one game since Week 4. Joseph will now have to clear league protocols before suiting up again this season, and his next…read more

  • Handling full-time defensive role

    Joseph totaled two tackles during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: After not seeing any defensive snaps over the first three weeks of the season, Joseph has logged 100 percent of them over the past two games in the absence of Tracy Walker (Achilles). With Detroit quickly falling out of playoff contention, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the Lions to not give the third-round rookie as much as he can handle the rest of the season. As such, look for Joseph to remain locked into a safety spot alongside DeShon Elliott when Detroit returns from a Week 6 bye.

  • Three tackles on special teams

    Joseph recorded three tackles during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: While each of the rookie's tackles again came on special teams, Joseph could start seeing some snaps on defense with Tracy Walker possibly set to miss time with an Achilles injury.

  • Full go during minicamp

    Joesph (hamstring) is participating in Lions' OTAs, Nick Baumgardner of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joesph dealt with a hamstring injury ahead of the combine and avoided the 40-yard dash, but he appears to have moved past the issue and is set on carving out a role as a rookie. DeShon Elliott appears to be the favorite to replace Will Harris opposite of Tracy Walker in Detroit's secondary, but Joesph is expected to push Elliott for the starting gig.
