Karl Joseph ‘progressing’ with his hamstring injury but still limited in practice

Joseph hopes to play in Week 7 after missing the last two games

Karl Joseph has missed the Cleveland Browns’ last two games. The starting safety is working his way back from a hamstring injury and could be in the mix to play in Week 7 in Cincinnati.

Joseph was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice session while still nursing the hamstring issue. He was also a limited participant on Wednesday, the first time he’s practiced two days in a row since suffering the injury.

“I would say he is progressing coming off that injury,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said of Joseph on Thursday in his press conference. “We will see how he does today responding to working yesterday for the first time out there at practice. Karl brings a veteran presence, a smart football player, plays fast and kind of fits what we want to be.”

In Week 5, Joseph was replaced in the lineup by Ronnie Harrison. But Harrison suffered a concussion and also missed the Week 6 game, leaving Sheldrick Redwine to start with Andrew Sendejo at safety. Harrison has cleared concussion protocols and has been a full participant in practices all week.
