Joseph (undisclosed) was activated off the COVID-19 list by the Bears on Wednesday, but still resides on injured reserve, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph had resided on the reserve/COVID-19 list since Oct. 24, so this news is positive for the team and Joseph. It's unclear when the Dubuque product will return to the field, as he won't be eligible to play this season without reaching an injury settlement.
