Lions' Kerby Joseph: Should be 100 percent for camp
Kerby Joseph (hip) -- who won't take part in practices this spring -- expects to be fully healthy by the start of training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.Joseph underwent an offseason procedure to address a hip injury that originally occurred in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. Though he returned to play after missing two contests en route to logging 82 tackles and four picks in 15 regular-season outings overall, the issue evidently lingered to the point that it required attention following the postseason. Once he's back to 100 percent, Joseph will reprise his starting free safety role with the Detroit Lions.

Lions' Kerby Joseph: Another productive season
Kerby Joseph (arm) registered 82 tackles and 11 passes defended including four interceptions over 15 regular-season games in 2023.Joseph continued to make a name for himself in Detroit after posting a second straight season with four interceptions. The Illinois product also held quarterbacks to a 58.5 QBR in coverage while not allowing a touchdown all season. With Tracy Walker out of the picture and C.J. Gardner-Johnson uncertain to return to Detroit this offseason, Joseph enters the 2024 campaign as Detroit's clear top option at free safety and he has the potential for triple-digit tackles with double-digit PDefs if he can stay healthy for a full season.
