Kerby Joseph’s knee injury kept him off the gridiron for the major part of 2025, limiting him to only six games. Even though it has been almost a year since the injury, the Lions continue to wait for his clearance.

Chuck Clark, Avonte Maddox and Thomas Harper continue to take Lions first-team reps at safety with Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch on PUP with injuries.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph remains away from the team while dealing with a personal issue, but Lions coach Dan Campbell remains optimistic.
