Kerby Joseph

Kerby Joseph is not expected to be ready for the Lions season opener.

Joseph has been battling a knee injury since last year's training camp and missed 11 games last season. It is unclear if he'll begin the season on the PUP list.

The Lions placed safety Kerby Joseph on PUP to start training camp.

Joseph is continuing to work his way back from a knee injury. If he isn't removed from the list before rosters are trimmed to 53 players in late August, he'll miss at least the first 4 games of the regular season.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Kerby Joseph is "improving" but not practicing yet.

Fantasy Impact

Joseph appeared in just six games last season due to a knee injury and suffered setbacks in his recovery. It appears he'll have a chance to return in time for training camp, but his status will have to continue to be monitored.

Lions GM Brad Holmes said Kerby Joseph (knee) is “trending in the right direction” in his recovery.

Fantasy Impact

Joseph was limited to just six games last season due to a knee injury and other setbacks. This will remain a situation to monitor heading into OTAs and training camp.

Kerby Joseph did not practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Joseph appears unlikely to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers. His status will need to be monitored when the injury report is released.
