Lands deal with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Joseph to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Joseph will provide the Raiders with a kicking option alongside Daniel Carlson, who has made just 12 of 16 field-goal attempts this season. Carlson missed a potential game-tying 48-yard kick wide right in the fourth quarter last Thursday night against Denver. Joseph kicked in games with the Giants, Commanders and Jets last season, making 16 of his 20 field-goal tries and all 11 of his extra points.

Released by 49ers
The 49ers release Joseph on Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The team signed Joseph in May to compete with incumbent Jake Moody for the placekicking job. After two weeks of training camp, the 49ers apparently have seen enough to know that Joseph isn't their guy, leaving Moody as the probable Week 1 starter.

Headed to 49ers
The 49ers are slated to sign Joseph, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In a combined eight regular-season appearances in 2024 (split between the Giants, Commanders and Jets), Joseph made 16 of 20 field-goal attempts, along with all 11 of his PAT tries. With the 49ers, Joseph will have an opportunity to compete with 2023 third-rounder Jake Moody, who has been San Francisco's kicker for the last two campaigns.

Accurate on short kicks
Joseph made his only field-goal attempt from 20 yards and converted all three of his PAT tries in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Joseph wasn't asked to do anything difficult but converted all four of his short kicks, which is more than the Jets got out of their kickers for most of the season. The 30-year-old kicker out of Florida Atlantic will hope to secure a consistent job somewhere in 2025 after splitting eight appearances in 2024 between the Giants, Commanders and Jets. Joseph made 16 of 20 field-goal attempts overall in 2024, with a long of 52, as well as all 11 of his PAT tries.

Handling kicking duties in Week 18
The Jets will sign Joseph off their practice squad Tuesday and have him handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Joseph signed with New York's practice squad last week and will get a quick call-up to the 53-man roster. He'll become the fifth different kicker of the season for the Jets and will replace Greg Zuerlein, who returned from an eight-week stint on injured reserve due to a left knee injury but didn't attempt any kicks in this past Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Added to Jets' practice squad
Joseph agreed to a contract Tuesday with the Jets' practice squad, according to a social media post from his agent, Brett Tessler.
Analysis: Though Joseph will start out on New York's practice squad, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich implied Monday that Anders Carlson's job was in jeopardy after the kicker missed an extra-point attempt as well as a 49-yard field goal in this past Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. If the Jets elect to move on from Carlson, Joseph could be a candidate to be elevated for the Week 17 game in Buffalo and would become New York's fifth different kicker of the season.

Parts ways with Washington
Joseph was cut from the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Joseph signed with Washington's practice squad Dec. 13 and was elevated for Week 15 against New Orleans. In that contest, he went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and made both his extra-point attempts, but he reverted to the practice squad shortly thereafter. Joseph's opportunity with the Commanders came as a result of injuries to Austin Seibert (groin) and Zane Gonzalez, who was dealing with a foot issue at the time of Joseph's elevation.

Back to practice squad
Joseph reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: 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.

Handling Week 15 kicking duties
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.
Analysis: 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.

Promoted to active roster
Joseph has been elevated to the Commanders' active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Joins Washington practice squad
The Commanders signed Joseph to their practice squad Friday.
Analysis: 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.

Works out with Cleveland
The Browns hosted Joseph (abdomen) for a tryout Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: 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.

Reaches injury settlement
The Giants waived Joseph (abdomen) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Joseph was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to an abdominal injury he likely picked up in practice. He joined Graham Gano (hamstring) on IR, but following the injury settlement, Joseph will now be seeking to join a new team assuming he clears waivers. In his six regular-season outings with the Giants, Joseph went 13-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.

Placed on injured reserve
The Giants placed Joseph (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: New York ruled out Joseph on Friday due to an abdominal injury that likely happened in practice, and he'll now join Graham Gano (hamstring) on injured reserve. Gano is closing in on a return to action, so even when Joseph is healthy again -- he can return Sunday, Dec. 8 against the Saints, at the earliest -- he may not have a gig awaiting him. As for this Sunday's game against the Commanders, the Giants have elevated Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle placekicking duties.

Analysis: Joseph had been filling in for Graham Gano, who sustained a hamstring injury on the opening kickoff against the Commanders back in Week 2. With Gano still on injured reserve and Joseph now unavailable after apparently picking up the abdominal injury during practice this week, the Giants will elevate Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle kicking duties Sunday.

Joseph went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and didn't attempt an extra point Monday in a loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Joseph provided all of the first-half scoring for the Giants, making field goals from 29, 39 and 44 yards out. He added to his ledger with a 48-yarder with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to bring New York to within eight points. The veteran kicker had gone 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the previous two weeks, highlighting how unpredictable his opportunities can be as part of a Giants offense that is averaging the second-fewest points per game in the league.…read more

Makes lone kick Week 7
Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: 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…read more

Kicking again in Week 7
Joseph is expected to serve as the Giants' kicker for Sunday's game against the Eagles after head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Graham Gano (hamstring) won't return from injured reserve this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Joseph has kicked for the Giants over the past four games, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the team would stick with him after he missed both of his field-goal attempts in the Week 6 loss to the Bengals. However, with Gano out for another week and the Giants bringing in no other kickers this week, Joseph will be in line for another opportunity Sunday.

Will retain role until Gano returns
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Analysis: None of Joseph's FG tries were very challenging -- his longest was from 38 yards out -- but he did his job well by coming through each time he was called upon. After missing his lone field-goal attempt Week 3 in his first game with New York, Joseph has since gone 8-for-8 on FG tries while making both of his extra-point attempts over his next two contests.

Analysis: Kicking in place of an injured Graham Gano (hamstring) for the second straight week, Joseph was the only means of scoring for the Giants in Thursday night's defeat. Joseph's makes were from 52, 41, 38, 22 and 42 yards out. Through two games, Joseph has made five of six field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Misses in debut with team
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.
Analysis: 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.

Only kicker on roster
Joseph is the only kicker on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster.
Analysis: 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.

Continues making kicks
Joseph made a 35-yard field goal and an extra point in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.
Analysis: Joseph is competing with Anders Carlson for the placekicking job in Green Bay, and he did nothing to damage his chances Saturday, making both kicks he attempted. Joseph has been a bit more accurate than his counterpart during training camp, but Carlson was drafted by the Packers in 2023 and made all his kicks Saturday after entering the game first; therefore, Joseph still has some work to do.

Analysis: 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 made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Joseph was good from 39 and 43 yards in defeat, which brought him to a 24-for-30 tally on FGAs this season. All six of his misses came from beyond 40 yards, as he went 3-for-6 from 40-49 yards out and 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards. The Florida Atlantic product is set to be a free agent this offseason after signing a one-year deal last March, and it's feasible that the Vikings could explore other options at the position this spring.

Analysis: Joseph failed to convert on two kicks for the third straight game in Week 8. In his defense, one of his field-goal attempts was blocked Sunday, and conditions were unfavorable for special-teams operations as they tend to be in late October in Green Bay.

In his defense, the former kick was blocked and the latter was a 57-yarder on a cool fall day in the Windy City.

Just one FGA through two games
Joseph didn't attempt a field goal but made all four PAT tries in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Joseph has attempted just one field goal through two games, as Minnesota has been effective at punching in touchdowns while simultaneously struggling with turnovers en route to an 0-2 start. Punt returner Brandon Powell fumbled in field-goal range in the first quarter, and Justin Jefferson had a fumble go through the end zone for a touchback in the final minute of the first half, erasing what could have been a pair of potential opportunities for the 29-year-old kicker.

Solid in low-scoring affair
Joseph made his only field-goal attempt and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss versus Tampa Bay.
Analysis: In a Week 1 game that saw Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense turn the ball over three times and struggle throughout, Joseph didn't see many opportunities to score. His lone field-goal attempt came in the second quarter from 25 yards out, and he remained perfect from under 30 yards (23-for-23) on his career. Minnesota has a tough matchup on tap in Week 2 when it plays at Philadelphia on a short week Thursday.

The 28-year-old finished the 2022 season converting on 26 of his 33 field-goal attempts and 40 of his 46 extra-point tries. Joseph set the NFL record with five game-winning field goals last season.

Dip in efficiency during 2022
Joseph converted 26 of his 33 field-goal attempts and went 40-for-46 on point-after tries over 17 games in the 2022 regular season.
Analysis: Joseph got off to a rough start during his second season with Minnesota, going 9-for-14 on field-goal tries over the first seven games. He did finish strong by not missing a single field-goal attempt in all but one of the final 11 games, including the wild-card loss to the Giants.

Misses two kicks against Arizona
Joseph missed his lone field-goal attempt while making four of five extra-point tries during the Vikings' 34-26 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Although the Vikings have had a strong start to the season, Joseph has been inconsistent in recent weeks, as he's missed at least one kick in each of the last five games. His missed field-goal attempt Sunday was a 56-yard attempt that was blocked just before halftime, but he also missed an extra-point try in the fourth quarter that would have put Minnesota up by two possessions. Over the last five games, Joseph has converted six of 11 field-goal attempts while making 13 of 16 extra-point tries.

Standout effort in preseason finale
Joseph drilled field-goal attempts of 46 and 58 yards and converted his one extra-point try during the Vikings' 23-13 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
Analysis: The four-year pro couldn't have asked for a better tune-up for the regular season, particularly boosting his confidence with his 58-yard conversion on the first play of the fourth quarter. The long-distance success is nothing new for Joseph, who went 7-for-9 on attempts from 50 yards and beyond a season ago. The Florida Atlantic product's already solid fantasy value could get another boost this season if new head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense generates quick returns.

Analysis: Joseph was solid in 2021, when he converted a career-high 87 percent of his field-goal attempts across 17 games with the Vikings. The 27-year-old currently is the only kicker on Minnesota's roster, and he can be considered the clear favorite to begin the 2022 season as the starter, though another option realistically could be added at the position when offseason workouts ramp up.

Joseph converted three of five field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win at Carolina. Despite missing a 47-yard attempt at the end of regulation that would have won the game and a 50-yard attempt with seven minutes left in regulation, head coach Mike Zimmer wasn't overly concerned. "Kicking into that wind, and I knew those two were right on the edge, that he missed, I think," Zimmer told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "But he's done a good job. I don't fault him for those."
Analysis: Joseph has seemingly been at the center of every game for the Vikings with a miss as time expired in a loss to Arizona, a made field goal as time expired to win over Detroit and a field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime at Cincinnati. It appears that, so far, the misses haven't put his job in jeopardy.

Analysis: While Joseph missed a potential game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in a loss to Arizona, he's also converted long field goals at the buzzer against Detroit and Cincinnati.

Joseph converted two field-goal attempts from 52 yards but missed a potential game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in Sunday's loss to Arizona. He also missed an extra-point attempt.
Analysis: While Joseph missed the most important field-goal attempt of the game, his job may not be in jeopardy despite coach Mike Zimmer's propensity for switching kickers. Joseph did make two 50-yard plus field goals in Week 2 and made a game-tying 53-yard field goal at the end of regulation in Week 1.

Waived by Tennessee
The Titans waived Joseph on Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Early reports from training camp suggested Joseph was winning his kicker battle with undrafted rookie Tucker McCann. Regardless, it's McCann who still has a roster spot after the team brought in Stephen Gostkowski to handle the job. Joseph should be near the top of the list for any team that runs into kicker issues this season.

Leg up in competition
Joseph has looked much better than rookie Tucker McCann in practices thus far, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Joseph was brought back by the Titans after making his only field-goal attempt for them last season. Although the team signed McCann to compete with him in advance of the regular season, it sounds like Joseph is ahead by a comfortable margin at this stage, giving him the inside track for the job.

Competition on the way
General manager Jon Robinson suggested Wednesday that the Titans plan to bring in some competition for Joseph, who finished the 2019 campaign as the team's kicker, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Robinson acknowledged that Joseph did a good job of "steadying the rudder" after he took over kicking duties last December, but the Titans won't hand him the job outright heading into 2020. Specifically, Robinson mentioned that the Titans are still "looking at some guys" in free agency and the upcoming draft. The 25-year-old appeared in five games with Tennessee (including the playoffs) last season, making his only field-goal attempt and converting all 18 of his extra point tries in that span.

Limited chances in playoffs
Joseph converted his lone field-goal attempt and all nine extra-point attempts over three postseason games.
Analysis: The field goal was a chip shot from 30 yards during the loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship, as the Titans finished drives throughout their run as the No. 6 seed. It was similar to Joseph's output in two regular-season games with Tennessee, as he made all nine extra points and didn't attempt a field goal. Joseph remains under contract for next season after signing ahead of Week 16, but he'll need a strong offseason to remain the Titans' kicker with Ryan Succop (knee) -- who landed on…read more

Nails five extra-point attempts
Joseph made all five of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Joseph has yet to be called upon for a field-goal attempt in two games with the team. However, he has proven steady with the chances he has received by making all nine of his extra-point attempts. Joseph took over for the injured Ryan Succop (knee) in Week 16 and will likely continue in his role throughout Tennessee's playoff run. Joseph signed a three-year deal when he joined the team, so he'll likely have a chance to be the placekicker in 2020.

Perfect in debut
Joseph made all four of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Joseph wasn't tested in particularly difficult fashion, as he wasn't asked to attempt a field goal in his debut with the team. However, he did make all four of his extra-point attempts, eliminating mistakes in the kicking game that had plagued the Titans for much of the season. With Ryan Succop (knee) on injured reserve, Joseph is likely to serve as the team's kicker in Week 17 against the Texans.

Taking over as top kicker
Joseph is on track to serve as Tennessee's placekicker for the remainder of the season after the team placed Ryan Succop (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: After being signed off the Panthers' practice squad earlier Wednesday, Joseph is slated to debut with his new team Week 16 against the Saints. Joseph converted 17 of 20 field-goal attempts (85 percent) last season with the Browns, but he made just one kick from 50-plus yards and missed four PATs.

Replacing Succop in Tennessee?
Joseph agreed Wednesday to a contract with the Titans, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Poached from Carolina's practice squad, Joseph could get a chance to kick for Tennessee as soon as Week 16. Titans placekicker Ryan Succop has converted just one of six field-goal attempts since the team activated him from injured reserve in early November, seemingly putting his job in jeopardy. However, it isn't entirely clear if Joseph is coming in as kickoff specialist to replace the departed Ryan Santoso or if he's a legitimate threat to Succop's job.

Heading to Carolina
Joseph signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Joey Slye missed a 28-yard field goal and a pair of extra points during Sunday's three-point loss to the Saints, leading the Panthers to explore available options at kicker. Joseph went 17-for-20 on field goals and 25-for-29 on extra points with the Browns in 2018, and he could make his way to the 53-man roster if Slye continues to struggle.
