Dan Campbell shared a Wednesday update that has been more than a year in the making. Detroit Lions All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph is making his return to practice this week.
"We're going to start Kerby's clock today, so he'll be running around, (we'll) start working him in. He's put in a lot of work. This has been a long, hard road for Kerby. So, just to be able to get back out there with the guys and run around a little bit. This will be a (big step). We'll kind of progress him as we go each week here just to get him back in the flow of football. The movement, the pounding, the all of it.
"But, he's passed every test to this point. This is the next thing is to get him running around now, so the strength in the knee is good, and the thigh, the quad,
all of that. So, it'll be great to get him back out there with the guys. I know he's excited. We are, but we've still got a ways to go. This is a step in the right direction," Campbell said.
