Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph made his return to practice on Friday, delivering a confident message to observers: "I'm still him; I hope you all ain't forgot." The defensive back's comeback marks a significant step in his preparation for the upcoming NFL season.
Joseph, who has emerged as a key playmaker in the Lions' secondary, had been sidelined during the early portion of training camp. His return to full participation signals positive progress in his recovery and readiness for the regular season.
The 24-year-old third-year player recorded four interceptions and 12 passes defended in 2025, establishing himself as one of the league's rising defensive talents. His presence in the backfield adds stability to a Detroit defense aiming for a deep playoff run.
