Joseph was added to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday according to his agent, reports Brett Tessler.
Joseph, a seven-year veteran, spent the prior three seasons with the Vikings. He subsequently competed for the Packers' kicking job during the offseason but was ultimately cut. Detroit's kicker, Jake Bates, was a perfect 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts in his debut in Week 1. Joseph would now be in line to fill in should he be required to do so.
