News

  • Tallies sack in win

    Joseph-Day recorded four tackles (two solo) in the Chargers' 28-24 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day's sack is his first of the season and half of what he totaled across 16 games last season. He was on the field for 46 snaps (59 percent), and after three games, it looks like that is the workload he is going to see at nose tackle. His next opportunity to win some battles in the trenches comes in Week 4 versus the Raiders.

  • Back in game

    Joseph-Day returned to the field after exiting with a neck injury earlier in the first half, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: The defensive lineman was on the field with the defense, per Miller. Joseph-Day has started all three games this season.

  • Leaves with neck injury

    Joseph-Day (neck) is questionable for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The sixth-year pro and second-year Charger started the first three games of 2023 and 16 in 2022. If Joseph-Day can't return, Morgan Fox is in line to replace him along the defensive front.

  • Returns to full health

    Joseph-Day (quadriceps) will practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day had been sidelined since at least Sunday with the injury. Now healthy, he'll be able to get back to preparing for a 2023 campaign during which the Rutgers product should remain an important part of the team's defensive line.

  • Managing quadriceps issue

    Joseph-Day didn't participate in Sunday's scrimmage due to a quadriceps injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day wasn't practicing for a second consecutive day, and the Chargers said Saturday that he'll miss time due to his injury, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. It's unclear whether Joseph-Day's injury will impact his regular-season availability, but Otto Ogbonnia (kneecap), Scott Matlock, Carlo Kemp and Chris Hinton are candidates to step up if he's sidelined.

  • Will suit up Sunday

    Joseph-Day (knee) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day missed his first game of the season with an MCL sprain last week. However, the 310-pound defensive end is now set to return after logging three straight limited practices Week 15. Joseph-Day's availability alongside Morgan Fox and Breiden Fehoko will be a big boost as the Chargers attempt to slow down star running back Derrick Henry on Sunday.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Joseph-Day (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day was sidelined for Week 14 due to an MCL sprain, marking his first absence of the season. He returned to practice during Week 15 prep, logging three straight limited practices, and is considered questionable for Sunday. If he's sidelined again, Tyeler Davison and Joe Gaziano would be candidates for slightly increased roles against Tennessee.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Joseph-Day (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Joseph-Day (knee) is day-to-day going into Week 14 against the Dolphins, according to head coach Brandon Staley, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day was diagnosed with a MCL sprain Monday, but it appears he may still have a chance of playing Sunday against the Dolphins. However, if he is unable to go, Tyeler Davison and Joe Gaziano would likely be candidates for increased opportunities.

  • Avoids major injury

    Joseph-Day (knee) is still undergoing tests, but he is believed to have avoided a major injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day went down with a right knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, forcing him to exit the contest in the fourth quarter, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term injury. If he's unavailable for Week 14 against the Dolphins, Joe Gaziano could step into a larger role on the defensive line.

  • Managing knee injury

    Joseph-Day sustained a right knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

  • Playing Sunday

    Joseph-Day (ankle) is active Sunday against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day was limited in practice all week, but he's feeling good enough to go Sunday. He should continue to be a primary piece of the Chargers' defensive-line rotation against Seattle.

    Published: Sun, Oct 23 at 12:07pm by Rotowire.com

  • Tagged as questionable for Sunday

    Joseph-Day (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's contest against Seattle.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has played over half of San Diego's defensive snaps in each game thus far this season, so his potential absence would be a blow to the team's defensive line. He was able to log a limited practice each day this week, so he appears to have a decent chance of playing Sunday.

  • Tallies two tackles for loss Sunday

    Joseph-Day recorded seven tackles (four solo), including two stops for a loss in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day had a solid outing Sunday against Jacksonville, but it wasn't enough to keep the Jaguars from putting up 38 points on the board. The 310-pound defensive tackle played 64 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 3, and he'll look to continue his strong efforts Sunday against the Texans.

  • Gets $15 million guaranteed

    Joseph-Day signed a three-year contract worth up to $24 million and $15 million guaranteed with the Chargers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day was a key part of the Rams defense in 2021, though his season ended prematurely due to a pectoral injury. He'll now reunite with his former defensive coordinator and current Chargers' head coach Brandon Staley. Joseph-Day joins Austin Johnson as a key acquisition along the defensive line for the Chargers early on in free agency.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) was activated from injured reserve Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Josephy-Day has been sidelined since undergoing pectoral surgery in early November. He returned to practice Jan. 21 and was activated on the final day before the 21-day window closed. He totaled 38 tackles and three sacks in seven games before going down with the injury, but it's unclear he'll play a major role during the Super Bowl.

  • Receives return designation

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has been sidelined since undergoing pectoral surgery in early November but is now back at practice for the Rams. He totaled 38 tackles and three sacks in seven games before going down with the injury, and he would bring a boost to Los Angeles' defensive front if he's able to return during the playoff run. However, he won't be ready in time for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers and is at least a week away from potentially being activated, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The…read more

  • Moves back to IR

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) was moved back to IR from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day's move back to IR will allow him to return to rehabbing his pectoral injury at the Rams' facilities. Still not officially out for the season, Joseph-Day will try to return before the season comes to a close.

    Joseph-Day was (pectoral) placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has been on injured reserve since Nov. 5 with a pectoral injury and now he will enter the COVID-19 protocols. Since he's vaccinated, Joseph-Day's placement on the list was the result of a positive test. In order to play this weekend against the Seahawks, Joseph-Day will need to be asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and turn in two consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day's move to IR seemed like a formality after it was announced Friday he was in need of surgery to repair his torn pectoral muscle. He has not been ruled out for the season yet, and a timetable for a return won't be known until after the surgery. Greg Gaines will now step into a starting role along the Rams' defensive line.

    Joseph-Day will need surgery after aggravating his pectoral injury in practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day will be out for some time, though it's yet to be determined whether the surgery will be season-ending. In the short term, Greg Gaines will likely see an uptick in usage along the interior of the Rams' defensive line.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) was forced to miss the Rams' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has missed only one game since joining the Rams' defensive line in 2019. The nose tackle has had a strong start to the season thus far as he's recorded as many sacks in 2021 as he did the past two seasons. Expect Joseph-Day to be limited in practice all week, while Greg Gaines could fill in for the nose tackle in Week 8 if Joseph-Day is unable to suit up.

  • Limited this week

    Joseph-Day (pectoral) will be limited in practice this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has been a mainstay on the Rams defensive line since 2019, only missing one game. The blossoming tackle already has as many sacks in 2021 as the last two seasons combined and is well on his way to breaking his season-high total of 55 tackles set last season. He'll try to suit up Week 8 against the Texans.

  • Turns in another solid showing

    Joseph-Day recorded five tackles (three solo) and a sack during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: The emerging tackle has become a high-end fantasy contributor this season and is now up to 38 tackles (23 solo) and three sacks for the campaign. Joseph-Day shouldn't be hanging around on waiver wires at this stage of the game.

  • Leads team with eight tackles

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has registered back-to-back eight-tackle outings and has 30 total tackles on the season. The 26-year-old has played 45-plus defensive snaps in all five games this season and should continue to produce solid numbers.

    Joseph-Day posted nine tackles (six solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day set a career high in tackles with his effort while notching his fourth sack of the year. The 2018 sixth-round pick has handled at least 72 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the first two games. With this workload in tow, Joseph-Day has a good chance to top last year's mark of 55 stops.

  • Ready for Week 2

    Joseph-Day (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day came out of Week 1 action with a knee injury, which kept him out of the first practice of Week 2. However, he progressed to limited Thursday before being listed as a full participant on Friday's injury report. Joseph-Day thus will be available to log a significant number of snaps next to the ultimate disruptor, Aaron Donald.

  • Absent from Monday's practice

    Joseph-Day didn't practice Monday due to an ankle injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day sustained the injury in Saturday's joint practice with the Cowboys. However, coach Sean McVay said the 26-year-old's absence Monday was a precautionary measure. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chargers.

  • Career-high tackle total in 2020

    Joseph-Day notched 55 tackles (35 solo), one sack and one forced fumble across 16 games in 2020.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day has now played a full 16-game regular-season slate in consecutive seasons. He increased his tackle total by 11 from 2019, despite playing 87 fewer defensive snaps in 2020. Though Joseph-Day doesn't possess much upside as a pass rusher, his involvement as a run stopper makes him a quality fantasy option in IDP leagues that require defensive tackles in the starting lineup.

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Joseph-Day (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old received the questionable tag due to the hip injury but is ready to go for Week 13. Joseph-Day should take up his usual starting post at nose tackle for Los Angeles.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Joseph-Day (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Joseph-Day didn't handle a full-speed practice all week, but he logged a limited session Friday and could be ready for Sunday's matchup. The 2018 sixth-round pick has played in 27 straight games, producing 80 tackles, two sacks and two pass breakups over that stretch. Greg Gaines and A'Shawn Robinson are candidates to start at nose tackle if Joseph-Day can't go.

  • Records season-high five tackles

    Joseph-Day collected a season-high five tackles and a sack during Sunday's 28-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: This was Joseph-Day's best showing of the 2020 campaign and his fourth career five-tackle game. He's ceding a few defensive snaps to fellow defensive tackle Greg Gains, as the Rams continue to rotate their defensive linemen. All-Pro Aaron Donald helps create opportunities for his teammates with opponents keying on him, so Joseph-Day will have chances to pad his stat line. However, the nose tackle probably still isn't a weekly fantasy option in most settings.

  • Likely to start in base defense

    Joseph-Day is expected to start in the Rams' 3-4 base defense, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With A'Shawn Robinson deemed out indefinitely with a cardiovascular condition, it comes as little surprise that Joseph-Day will fill the void after starting 15 games last year. The sixth-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft recorded a modest 44 tackles (25 solo) and two sacks through 16 games last season while posting an underwhelming 63.0 PFF grade. While there could be improvement in Joseph-Day's second full season, it's probably best to take a wait-and-see approach in most IDP settings.

  • Registers 44 tackles

    Joseph-Day recorded 44 tackles (25 solo), two sacks and a pass breakup over 16 games in 2019.

    Analysis: After not playing in his rookie season, Joseph-Day garnered a starting role in his second year. He averaged 30.5 defensive snaps per game, and he was a valuable member of the Rams' sturdy run defense. The 24-year-old has two years remaining on his rookie contract.
