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. 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.

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. 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.
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. 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. The Jets haven't yet announced whether Zuerlein will be cut loose, placed back on IR or be made inactive for Week 18, but he'll give way to Joseph in any case. The 30-year-old Joseph has previously made seven appearances this season between the Giants and Commanders, converting 15 of 18 field-goal tries and eight of eight extra-point attempts.
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.
