Sebastian Joseph-Day: Breaking News
Remains solid run stuffer
Joseph-Day recorded 41 tackles (22 solo) with 2.0 sacks and a recovered fumble across 17 games in 2025. Joseph-Day has never provided much as a pass rusher, but he's served as a solid run stuffer. That continued in 2025, as he was credited with 28 run stuffs by PFF and was charged with only a 9.1 percent missed tackle rate -- his best mark since 2020. Joseph-Day will become a free agent this offseason, and he should land a new deal, whether in Tennessee or elsewhere.
Set to play Week 17
Joseph-Day (calf) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Joseph-Day has played in all 15 games for the Titans so far this season and will continue that streak in Sunday's contest. The defensive end saw his lowest snap share of the season against the Chiefs in Week 16, likely due to the calf injury that led to his appearance on Wednesday's injury report. Now that he's been cleared of any injury designation and is set to suit up, the 30-year-old will likely return to a higher amount of defensive snaps in Sunday's game.
