The Detroit Lions have an injury concern with safety Kerby Joseph in the first half of the Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns.
Joseph was banged-up in the second quarter during an interception return. The ball was picked off by cornerback D.J. Reed.
Joseph is a crucial part of the Lions' defense and already has an interception on the day, so it goes without how much of a blow losing him would be for Detroit's defense.
Here's what we know about Joseph's status.

Joseph has already gone back to the locker room, which is not a good sign for his chances of returning.
END OF UPDATE
Joseph appeared to suffer a knee injury but that has not been confirmed. Joseph needed help getting off the field, so it doesn't look good early on.
