News

  • Inks deal with Dallas

    Joseph signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Joseph was rumored to sign with Dallas a week ago, and the transaction is now official. He played in seven regular-season games for the Bills in 2023, finishing with 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks. The 2010 second-round pick adds valuable veteran depth to the Cowboys' interior defensive line alongside Mazi Smith, Osa Odighizuwa and Jordan Phillips.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    Joseph (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joseph was forced to miss three consecutive games after he tested positive for COVID-19 in November. However, he'll be able to return Sunday against the Giants and should reclaim his starting role.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Joseph (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Joseph will remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list for a third straight week after he tested positive for the virus. His next chance to return will be Dec. 12 against the Giants.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Coach Brandon Staley confirmed that Joseph tested positive for COVID-19, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Joseph's positive test will make him the third Chargers defensive lineman to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list alongside Jerry Tillery (illness) and Christian Covington (illness). Joseph is reportedly unvaccinated according to Joe Reedy of the Associated Press, which would cause the veteran defensive tackle to miss this Sunday's matchup against the division-rival Broncos. Backup Breiden Fehoko should be in line to start once again after seeing the majority of the snaps at defensive tackle…read more

  • Officially out Sunday

    Joseph (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Joseph was considered doubtful ahead of Sunday's primetime matchup, so his status doesn't come as a surprise. Forrest Merrill and Andrew Brown could see additional playing time against the Steelers.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Joseph (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Joseph has been unable to practice this week, and he'll likely be sidelined by his shoulder injury Sunday. If he's unable to suit up, Breiden Fehoko could see increased playing time on the Chargers' defensive line.

  • Misses week's first practice

    Joseph (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: It is not known precisely how or when Joseph picked up the injury, but it presumably occurred in the Week 10 loss to the Vikings. The 33-year-old still has a couple more practices to show he can go Sunday, but if he can't, Christian Covington and Justin Jones would be in line for more work.

  • Tallies nine tackles

    Joseph recorded nine tackles (eight solo) along with 1.5 tackles for loss in the Chargers 27-24 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Joseph was a dominant force in the win, finishing with his best numbers all season. Statistically, the Chargers have the worst run defense in the NFL, and teams have been able to run on them at will, however, Joseph's possible emergence as the primary run stopper should be seen as a positive sign for the Chargers.

  • Records eight tackles

    Joseph had eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: It's the first time since 2018 the veteran defensive tackle tallied at least eight tackles, and he did so Sunday while playing only 39 of 79 defensive snaps. The 32-year-old isn't on the IDP radar and remains a much more valuable player on the field than for fantasy purpoes.

  • Headed to Chargers

    The Chargers agreed Wednesday with Joseph on a two-year, $17 million contract that includes another $2 million in incentives, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The two-time Pro Bowler logged 44 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble in 13 games for the Vikings in 2019. The 31-year-old Joseph will provide the Chargers' defensive line with a nice boost at nose tackle.

  • Let go by Vikings

    The Vikings have terminated Joseph's contract, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: The team also terminated the contract of Xavier Rhodes on Friday, with the moves combining to free up more than $18.5 million worth of salary cap room. Joseph, who had signed a five-year, $50 million extension with Minnesota in 2017, is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he recorded 44 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble in 13 games. The 31-year-old defensive tackle is a two-time Pro Bowler.

  • Finishes 2019 with three sacks

    Joseph recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Saturday's 27-10 divisional-round loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: After concluding the regular season with 44 tackles (26 solo), three sacks and one forced fumble across 13 contests, Joseph added 10 more stops to his ledger between Minnesota's two playoff games. Joseph has been a stalwart along the defensive line for Minnesota since 2014, and with three years remaining on his contract, he's in line to fill a starting role again in 2020. The consistent double teams that Joseph faces limits his upside as a pass rusher, but his floor as a run stopper gives him…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Joseph (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Joseph was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The veteran defensive tackle is set to draw his usual start in San Francisco on Saturday. He'll look to break a sack drought that dates back to Week 9 of the regular season.

  • Sits out walkthrough

    Joseph (knee) didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Joseph had knee surgery in November and missed a pair of games, and it's unclear if this is related. The 31-year-old defensive tackle logged a 66-percent snap share in the wild-card win against New Orleans, and he'll have two more practices to get back on the field ahead of Saturday's divisional-round clash against the 49ers.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Joseph (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Joseph kicked off the week as a limited participant in practice due to a knee injury, but he's now resumed operating without restrictions. The veteran defensive tackle is on track to draw his usual start against the Chargers on Sunday.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Joseph (knee) was listed as a limited participant for practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Joseph has been hampered by a knee injury since Week 10, so his limited participation Wednesday comes as no surprise. He managed to play through the issue in Week 14 against the Lions, compiling four tackles (three solo) in the process.

  • Ready for Week 14

    Joseph (knee) is clear of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Joseph began the week not practicing but was able to retake the field Thursday and Friday. The 31-year-old returned from a two-game absence and had five tackles while playing 71 percent of defensive snaps during the Week 13 loss to Seattle.

  • Upgraded to limited participation

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

    Analysis: Joseph didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, so he is trending in the right direction. He missed two games earlier in the season after undergoing surgery, but he was able to return to the field in Week 13. That said, unless Joseph has suffered a setback, he'll likely be active for the team's Week 14 contest against the Lions.

  • Back on injury report

    Joseph (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Joseph beat the odds to suit up in this past Monday's loss to the Seahawks, so it's not surprising that he's taking it easy during the practice week. As long as the 31-year-old defensive end can practice by Friday, he should be good to go Sunday against the Lions.

  • Given clearance for MNF

    Joseph (knee) is officially active for Monday night's game against Seattle.

    Analysis: Despite undergoing meniscus surgery in Week 10, Joseph will make his return to the field following just a two-game absence. Now healthy, Joseph is expected to draw the start at one of the interior defensive line positions.

  • Could play Monday

    Joseph (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The intimidating nose tackle underwent meniscus surgery in Week 10 and appears on track to make his return after just a two-game absence following a full participation in practice Saturday.

    Published: Sat, Nov 30 at 2:43pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Back on practice field

    Joseph (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee ahead of Week 10's bout against the Cowboys, and he was tagged with a four-week recovery timeline. The veteran defensive tackle appears to be ahead of schedule, as Monday's matchup against the Seahawks will mark three weeks since the procedure. The Vikings will keep an eye on his practice status as the week progresses. If he's able to play, Joseph will be a valuable addition against the Seahawks' run-heavy offense.

  • Ruled out versus Broncos

    Joseph (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Joseph underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee prior to Week 10's win over the Cowboys, so his absence versus Denver was essentially expected. With a bye week around the corner, the veteran defensive tackle's next chance to retake the field will come Dec. 2 against the Seahawks.

  • Still not practicing

    Joseph (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Joseph went under the knife this past weekend to trim the meniscus in his knee and he missed Week 10's win over the Cowboys. The 31-year-old defensive tackle hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos but he's trending toward an absence. That may benefit his recovery, too, since the Vikings have a Week 12 bye, meaning he could return Dec. 2 against the Seahawks.

  • Recovering from knee surgery

    Joseph underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee prior to Sunday's 28-24 win over the Cowboys, Ben Goessling and Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune report.

    Analysis: Joseph suffered a knee injury during Week 7's win over the Lions, but he managed to play and practice through the issue until last Thursday. The 31-year-old is likely to remain sidelined through at least the Vikings' bye in Week 12, so his earliest chance to retake the field could come Dec. 2 versus the Seahawks. Expect Jaleel Johnson to play increased snaps on defense as long as Joseph is unable to go.

  • Ruled out versus Cowboys

    Joseph (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Joseph picked up a knee injury during Thursday's practice, and he'll be required to miss at least Week 10 as a result. The severity of the starting defensive tackle's issue remains undisclosed. Expect Jaleel Johnson to play an expanded role on defense as long as Joseph is unable to go.

  • Can't practice Thursday

    Joseph did not practice Thursday due to a knee injury, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Joseph was able to practice without limitations Wednesday, so his knee issue appears to have been sustained during Thursday's session. He was spotted limping in the locker room. Coach Mike Zimmer should disclose some details about Joseph's situation after the Vikings submit Thursday's second practice report of the week.
