The Buccaneers elevated Joseph to the active roster Friday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
The Buccaneers activated starting kicker Ryan Succop from the COVID-19 list, but they are calling up Joseph as an insurance policy. It's worth keeping an eye on whether Succop is a late scratch for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, in which case Joseph would bump into a starting role. Over 16 NFL games, Joseph has connected on 17 of 20 field-goal attempts (85 percent).
