Joseph reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Joseph handled the kicking duties for the Commanders in Sunday's win against the Saints due to Zane Gonzalez (foot) and Austin Seibert (groin) being sidelined. He made two of three field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in the wi. Joseph could be Washington's kicker against Philadelphia in Week 16 if Gonzalez is unable to make enough progress in his recovery to play.
Joseph will serve as the Commanders' kicker in Sunday's game at New Orleans with Zane Gonzalez (foot) inactive for the contest, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Joseph will become the fourth different kicker that Washington has used this season, following Cade York, Austin Seibert (groin) and Gonzalez. York is now with the Bengals, and Seibert isn't eligible to return from injured reserve until Week Week 18, so with a good showing Sunday, Joseph could retain the kicking job for multiple games if Gonzalez isn't able to quickly move past the foot injury. Joseph previously served as the Giants' kicker for six games earlier this season, converting 13 of 16 field-goal attempts and six of six extra-point tries.

Commanders' Greg Joseph: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
Joseph has been elevated to the Commanders' active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
The Commanders signed Joseph on Friday and quickly elevated him to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup, a sign that perhaps Zane Gonzalez (foot) might not be available. Joseph appeared in six games for the Giants earlier this season, going 13-for-16 on field-goal attempts and making all six of his extra-point attempts.

Greg Joseph: Joins Washington practice squad
Rotowire
The Commanders signed Joseph to their practice squad Friday.
Washington's main kicker, Zane Gonzalez, is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans due to a foot injury. If Gonzalez is unable to kick, Joseph appears to be the fallback plan. Joseph kicked in six games for the Giants earlier this season, making 13 of 16 field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts.

Greg Joseph: Works out with Cleveland

The Browns hosted Joseph (abdomen) for a tryout Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Joseph appears back to full health after having reached an injury settlement with the Giants early November. The veteran kicker went 13-for-16 on field-goal tries across 16 appearances with New York this season, while converting all six of his extra-point attempts. His next opportunity will likely come in the form of a practice squad signing.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7
Rotowire
Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.
Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Will retain role until Gano returns
Rotowire
Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati, but coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Joseph will continue to be the team's kicker if Graham Gano (hamstring) isn't ready to return Week 7 versus Philadelphia, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Joseph's pair of misses against the Bengals weren't excessively challenging by NFL standards -- he was wide left on both a 47-yarder early in the fourth quarter and a 45-yarder with under a minute left in the contest. Nonetheless, Daboll's comments suggest that New York may not be looking to try out another kicker with Gano's return from injured reserve looming. Gano is eligible to be activated this week, though Duggan believes "it'd be a surprise" if the veteran kicker is ready to return Sunday. That means Joseph is probably going to be the Giants' kicker for at least one more week, but he's not a particularly appealing fantasy option considering his performance Week 6. Joseph did go 8-for-8 on field-goal tries across Weeks 4 and 5, however, and he's made all six of his extra-point attempts across four contests.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Will kick vs. Dallas
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll said that Joseph will serve as the Giants' kicker in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Joseph made all three of his extra-point tries in his team debut during Sunday's win over the Browns, but he missed his only field-goal attempt from 48 yards out. The veteran will continue filling in for Graham Gano (hamstring) versus Dallas, but if Joseph struggles again, the Giants could look into replacing him with another kicker.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Misses in debut with team
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Daboll was non-committal on Joseph's future with the Giants after he missed a 48-yard goal in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Joseph was signed off the Lions' practice squad to replace Graham Gano (hamstring) during his IR stint. However, after missing his lone FGA, it seems like the team may be open to bringing in other options. On a positive note for Joseph, he did make all three of his PATs in the win Sunday. The Giants face the Cowboys on Thursday, so if they do decide to make a switch at kicker, they'll need to do so quickly.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Replacing injured Gano in New York
Rotowire
The Giants signed Joseph off the Lions' practice squad on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After losing the battle for the Packers' kicking job at the end of training camp, Joseph had to wait just two weeks before getting an opportunity with another team. With the Giants, he'll be serving as a short-term replacement for Graham Gano, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after straining his right hamstring in this past Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. The 30-year-old Joseph has appeared in 51 games with the Browns, Titans and Vikings over parts of five NFL seasons, converting 82.6 percent of his field-goal tries.

Greg Joseph: Gets chance in Detroit
Rotowire
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.

Greg Joseph: Cut by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers released Joseph on Wednesday.
Joseph appeared to win the battle with Anders Carlson for the Packers' kicker job, but they've now both been released and replaced by waiver claim Brayden Narveson, an undrafted rookie free agent who made six of seven field-goal attempts for the Titans this preseason. Narveson's only miss came from 58 yards, and he converted a 59-yarder. Joseph boasts five seasons of NFL experience and will look to catch on elsewhere after he converted 24 of 30 field-goal tries and 36 of 38 extra-point attempts in 17 games for Minnesota in 2023.

Packers' Greg Joseph: Only kicker on roster
Rotowire
Joseph is the only kicker on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster.
Joseph outperformed Anders Carlson this summer and now figures to kick for the Packers in Week 1 against the Eagles. The 30-year-old spent the past three season with Minnesota, converting 82.6 percent of field-goal attempts and 90.1 percent of PATs while playing all 17 games each year. Joseph is probably one of the lesser starting placekickers in the league, which means he's one cold streak away from finding himself on the hot seat.

Packers' Greg Joseph: Outperforming Carlson so far
Rotowire
Joseph has the upper hand in the starting kicker race for Green Bay after going 7-for-7 in field-goal tries during practice Thursday compared to Anders Carlson's 4-for-7 session, Matt Schneidman of The New York Times reports.
The veteran kicker signed with Green Bay in March and has so far brought an experienced presence that could give him the advantage as he battles against Carlson for the starting spot. Joseph has now made 29 of 31 of kicks attempted in front of reporters during training camp while Carlson has gone 25-of-31.

Joseph made of two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.
Joseph has been busy after only seeing two FGAs in the team's first four contests and now has three or more in the team's last five games. Unfortunately, the Florida Atlantic product was unable to connect from 54 yards out early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but he did convert from 40 yards on the team's opening drive and again from 33 yards on Minnesota's first possession of the second half.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Tough day in ugly win
Rotowire
Joseph made two of his three field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago.
Joseph failed to convert on both an extra-point try and a field-goal attempt for the first time this season in Week 6. In his defense, the former kick was blocked and the latter was a 57-yarder on a cool fall day in the Windy City. Even still, Minnesota's offense looked strained without Justin Jefferson (IR-hamstring) and will draw a brutal matchup versus San Francisco's defense in Week 7.
