Lions' Kerby Joseph: Gets questionable tag for Week 5
Rotowire
Joseph (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
Joseph opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a knee injury that has lingered through the first month of the regular season. He's given himself a chance to play after practicing in a limited capacity Friday, though his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Lions announce their list of inactive players, which should take place approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Daniel Thomas (forearm) on injured reserve, Thomas Harper would be in line for a larger role at safety alongside Brian Branch if Joseph is not cleared to play.
Joseph dealt with the knee issue in practice last week but played last Sunday against the Browns. However, he aggravated the injury against Cleveland but was able to return to the game. It's unclear if he experienced a setback. Joseph's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will provide more information.
Joseph recorded three total tackles (one solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-10 win over Cleveland.
Joseph produced exactly three stops for the third week in a row, while he was also able to be on the receiving end of an errant pass from Joe Flacco in the first quarter, securing his second interception of the year. The safety is now up to 10 total tackles (seven solo) and two passes defensed, both of which were interceptions, over four games this season.

Joseph was helped off the field by two trainers to avoid putting pressure on his leg before being taken to the locker room, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. Thomas Harper will likely see more snaps at safety alongside Brian Branch for as long as Joseph is sidelined.
