Joseph recorded a solo tackle, which was a sack, in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph signed with the Bills in early November. In Sunday's defeat, he was able to corral Jalen Hurts for his first sack of the 2023 campaign. The nose tackle played only 16 defensive snaps in the contest, his lowest in four games with Buffalo, so his production will likely continue to be limited moving forward.

The Bills signed Joseph to a one-year contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph takes the roster spot of CB Kaiir Elam (ankle) after he was sent to injured reserve. Joseph recently turned 35 years old and played in eight games for the Eagles last season. He has 12 games of playoff experience and will provide experienced depth on the interior of Buffalo's defensive line following the recent loss of NT DaQuan Jones to a torn pec.

Joseph was signed by the Eagles on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph will return to the NFL for a 13th season, joining the Eagles' active roster ahead of the team's Week 11 game against the Colts. The defensive tackle appeared in 14 games with the Chargers last season, recording 57 tackles, including a sack, and will provide Philadelphia with some much needed help on the interior of their defensive line.

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

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

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

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

Joseph (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE 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.
