Top Kerby Joseph News

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Limited again Thursday

    Joseph (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Joseph remains on reserve/PUP, and coach Dan Campbell already said earlier this week that the safety will not play against Miami on Sunday.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Estimated as limited Wednesday

    Joseph (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on the Lions' official injury report Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Joseph is still waiting to make his 2026 debut as he continues to work his way back from a lingering knee injury, and his status for Week 9 is up in the air. He'll probably need to log a full practice before being activated from the reserve/PUP list, so his activity Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Remains out for Week 9

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Joseph (knee) will not play in Week 9 against the Dolphins, but is expected to see scout-team reps, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Joseph returned to practice in Week 8 in limited fashion, after beginning the season on the reserve/PUP list with a knee injury suffered during the 2025 season. The 25-year-old appears to be on track in his practice progression as he began reps with the scout team Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will be in Week 10 against New England on Sunday, Nov. 15.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Remaining on PUP for Week 8

    Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Joseph -- who opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from knee injury from the 2025 campaign -- was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was limited in all three sessions of Week 8 prep. He's not quite ready to be activated from the PUP, but head coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Joseph has "responded well to individual work," per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Joseph's next opportunity to make his 2026 debut is Week 9 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 8.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Limited again Thursday

    Joseph (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.

    The Lions opened the 21-day practice window for Joseph on Wednesday. While he has been practicing in a limited capacity, there's still a chance he won't be cleared to suit up for Sunday's NFC North clash with the Vikings. If that is the case, Joseph's next opportunity to play will come in Week 9 in Miami.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Cleared to return to practice

    The Lions opened the 21-day practice window for Joseph (knee) on Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Joseph opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a knee injury that he suffered in Week 6 of the 2025 season. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice and was limited in Wednesday's session, and there's a chance that he's activated from the PUP list before Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Vikings. The addition of Joseph would bolster a Lions secondary that welcomed back Brian Branch, who picked off Jordan Love in Detroit's Week 7 win over Green Bay.

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Expected to play this season

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated Kerby (knee) "is in a good headspace" and expects the 25-year-old to play at some point this season, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Joseph has been sidelined for over a year after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 6 meeting with the Chiefs during the 2025 campaign. While there was hope he would be ready to get back on the field early in the 2026 season, he remains on the reserve/PUP list. With Kerby still out of commission, Chuck Clark is projected to continue handling most of the work at free safety for the foreseeable future.
