The Lions placed Joseph (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph will miss the remainder of the regular season due to his knee injury, but he could be a candidate to return to action during the playoffs, if Detroit progresses to the postseason. Thomas Harper is set to handle a starting role at free safety versus the Steelers on Sunday, and for the remainder of the regular season, with Joseph sidelined.

Joseph (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph's knee injury is severe enough that the safety was an IR candidate last week. Since then, it seems he has been able to progress enough that he will be able to stay on the active roster, though he will be missing consecutive games. With the starter ruled out, Thomas Harper is in line to play significant snaps at free safety in Sunday's contest.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Joseph (knee) is a possible injured reserve candidate, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph appeared as a limited participant in practice Wednesday but appeared to have suffered a setback after no participation Thursday or Friday. It looks as though the 25-year-old is set to miss an extended period of time, and it's currently unknown when he will return this season. Thomas Harper will remain as a starting safety in Kerby's absence.

Joseph (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph logged a limited session Wednesday before downgrading to a non-participant Thursday. The downgrade in practice participation bodes poorly for the safety's chances to suit up for Sunday's game against the Rams. The starter will have one more chance to practice, but if he is unable to log at least a limited session, it is unlikely he will be able to play Sunday.

Joseph (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph is in an odd position, having been sidelined since Week 7, yet never placed on injured reserve. He failed to practice the last two days before Detroit's Week 14 win over the Cowboys, so his return to practice Wednesday is a positive. Nevertheless, his status for a Week 15 matchup against the Rams remains unclear.

Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph hasn't played since suffering a knee injury in Week 6 versus the Chiefs, but he was never placed on injured reserve. The 2022 third-round pick was a non-participant during practice Tuesday and Wednesday. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Joseph is hopeful to play in Week 15 versus the Rams. He'll need to ramp up his practice time next week first, and until he returns, Thomas Harper will remain the team's starting free safety.

Joseph has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a knee injury, but the fourth-year safety intends to return in 2025 and seek treatment for his injury during the offseason, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph has not been placed on the Lions' injured reserve despite the prolonged absence. He returned to practice as a limited participant Monday -- his first action since the injury -- but did not participate in Tuesday's session. Joseph faces an uphill battle to be cleared to play against the Cowboys on Thursday, but with more practices under his belt, he could be available for the Lions' Week 15 road tilt against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Joseph (knee) returned to practice Monday, getting in a limited session, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph has been sidelined since Week 6 but appears to be nearing a return to action, as the Lions make a push for the postseason. Thomas Harper has been starting at safety in Joseph's absence. Across six games this season, Joseph has recorded 18 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups, including three interceptions.

Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph will end up missing a sixth consecutive game due to a knee injury he picked up in Week 6 against the Chiefs. His next opportunity to play is Week 14 against the Cowboys on Thursday, Dec. 4, though he's unlikely to be available for that game unless he returns to practice in at least a limited capacity.

Joseph (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit held a walkthrough Monday after beating the Giants in overtime Sunday. The Lions have a quick turnaround ahead of a Thursday afternoon meeting with the Packers on Thanksgiving. Joseph hasn't played since Week 6 against the Chiefs.
