Joseph exited practice Wednesday with a back injury, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
The 2021 second-round pick out of Kentucky played mostly on special teams in 2022, but stepped into a larger role late in the season and started opposite of Trevon Diggs.

Cowboys' Kelvin Joseph: Not close to return
Rotowire
Coach Mike McCarthy said that Joseph (groin) is still a few weeks away from returning, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Joseph was placed on injured reserve prior to the beginning of the regular season, so he is eligible to return whenever he proves healthy. He was a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, so he may play a significant role in the secondary upon his return. However, the Cowboys defense has been surprisingly effective against the pass early this season led by the strong play of Trevon Diggs, so it remains to be seen exactly how Joseph will fit in.
