COVID-19 wasn't necessarily a bad thing for all NFL players. In a nod to the roster issues that could arise during the pandemic, the NFL allowed its teams to stash more veteran players on their practice squads, thus giving those players the opportunity to continue to draw a paycheck while also staying sharp and ready to go.
One such player was safety Karl Joseph.
A first-round draft pick of the Raiders in 2016 out of West Virginia, Joseph spent his first four seasons with that team before signing as a free agent with the Browns in 2020.
