Lions assistant says Kerby Joseph ‘looked awesome’ in return to practice
ALLEN PARK — Kerby Joseph won’t return to the field Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but his progress in recovering from a serious knee injury has impressed the Detroit Lions’ coaching staff.
Lions safeties coach Jim O’Neil spoke to reporters Friday for the first time since the team opened Joseph’s 21-day practice window last Wednesday. The All-Pro safety hasn’t played since Week 6 of last season.
The Lions have been careful with Joseph’s return, slowly ramping up his activity. A few weeks ago, Joseph was limited to film study, where O’Neil said he was “locked in.” He progressed to team walkthroughs and individual drills before taking part in team practice for the first time Wednesday.
