Lions Coach Updates on Kerby Joseph's Rehab and Personal Issues

Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced that safety Kerby Joseph is currently facing a personal issue alongside his rehabilitation from a knee injury sustained last year.

Campbell noted that Joseph's recovery is progressing positively, although he did not provide specific details about the personal matter. Both Joseph and fellow safety Brian Branch are expected to miss the first week of the season, with Branch recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.

Campbell compared Joseph's recovery timeline to that of Branch, indicating that both players are likely to receive final clearance after the regular season has commenced. He expressed optimism about Joseph's current status in his rehabilitation.
