Joseph agreed to a contract Tuesday with the Jets' practice squad, according to a social media post from his agent, Brett Tessler. 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. Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, Ulbrich added that Greg Zuerlein (knee) -- who has missed the last seven games while on injured reserve -- could also factor into the team's plans at kicker this week, though Zuerlein will first have to resume practicing. Joseph has previously appeared in seven games with the Giants and Commanders this season, converting 15 of 19 field-goal attempts and going 8-for-8 on extra-point tries.

Joseph was cut from the Commanders' practice squad Monday. 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, wo was dealing with a foot issue at the time of Joseph's elevation. However, with Gonzalez back to full health and Seibert eligible to return from IR, Washington no longer has a need for Joseph's services.
Joseph reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Joseph handled the kicking duties for the Commanders on Sunday against the Saints due to Zane Gonzalez (foot) and Austin Seibert (groin) being sidelined. Joseph made two of three field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in a 20-19 win over New Orleans. Joseph could be Washington's kicker against Philadelphia in Week 16 if Gonzalez is unable to progress in his recovery enough to play.
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. 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. Joseph previously served as the Giants' kicker for six games earlier this season, converting 13 of 16 field-goal attempts and six of six extra-point tries.
Joseph has been elevated to the Commanders' active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. 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.
The Commanders signed Joseph to their practice squad Friday. 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.
The Browns hosted Joseph (abdomen) for a tryout Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. 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.
The Giants waived Joseph (abdomen) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. 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 on the lookout 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.
The Giants placed Joseph (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. 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.
