Latest News about Kerby Joseph
The Detroit Lions designated Kerby Joseph to return from the PUP list, which allows him to resume practicing after more than a year away from game action. He was back on the practice field that week, starting a 21-day evaluation window before the team decides whether to activate him. The move was seen as a major step toward restoring one of the team's key defensive playmakers.
Joseph posted a video of workouts at the Lions' indoor practice facility showing near full-speed running and change-of-direction cuts on both legs. Head coach Dan Campbell said he was optimistic Joseph would play for the team before the season ends, though he declined to give a timeline. The update came as Joseph continued rehabbing a serious knee injury.
