Joseph had a sack in Sunday's loss to Buffalo.

Joseph has 1.5 sacks the past two games as the Minnesota defensive line is developing as a strong unit. However, Joesph doesn't get enough tackles for viable fantasy value in most formats.

Joseph had a sack, five total tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's win at St. Louis.

Joseph was shot in the leg by a stray bullet fired in a Minneapolis night club Aug. 8, but his injury was luckily minor and he looked at full strength. It looks like he'll contribute in the pass rush as well as being a stout defender against the run.

Joseph (calf) is not on the Week 1 injury report.

After signing a five-year, $31.5 million deal with Minnesota in the offseason, Joseph should serve as Minnesota's top defensive tackle going forward. If Sharrif Floyd shows progress in his second season, the Vikings could have a strong interior line.

Joseph (calf) returned to practice Monday, ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities reports.

Joseph was shot in the leg by a stray bullet fired in a Minneapolis night club Aug. 8, but his injury was luckily minor. It looks like he'll be able to play this week against St. Louis.

Joseph (calf) is expected to return by the start of the regular season, NFL.com reports.

Joseph was shot in the leg by a stray bullet fired in a Minneapolis night club early Saturday morning. An innocent bystander, Joseph's injury was thankfully only a minor one and he was released from the hospital later on Saturday. Nonetheless, Joseph is expected to miss up to two weeks, but should be fine for Week 1. The first-year Viking's 59 tackles ranked fourth among all interior defensive linemen last season, while the same amount of stops saw Joseph lead his position in tackles during the 2012 campaign.

Joseph was shot in the calf at a nightclub on Friday night, but the Vikings relayed that he's OK, Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Joseph was apparently a bystander, but the development could result in little to no action before the regular season kicks off. Over the last three seasons, he's averaged 55.7 tackles, three sacks, and one fumble recovery per year.

Vikings NT Linval Joseph (shoulder) is expected to be ready for training camp.

Joseph underwent shoulder surgery in March and was held out of minicamp for precautionary reasons. He remains on track to be cleared for the start of camp. Joseph will start at nose tackle in Mike Zimmer's 4-3, with Sharrif Floyd getting the majority of snaps at the three-technique spot.

Vikings DT Linval Joseph is sitting out mandatory minicamp as he recovers from right-shoulder surgery.

Joseph underwent the operation prior to signing a five-year, $31.5 million deal in March. The team had previously said he was sitting out after undergoing a "procedure." The fact that the Vikes were willing to make such a large financial commitment to Joseph is an obvious sign they aren't concerned. Joseph should be ready for the beginning of camp.

Vikings DT Linval Joseph is limited in OTAs as he recovers from a "procedure."

For whatever reason, the Vikings think concealing what body part Joseph had operated on provides a competitive advantage. According to coach Mike Zimmer, Joseph will be "full go soon." Joseph is starting opposite Sharrif Floyd in Minnesota.

Vikings agreed to terms with DT Linval Joseph, formerly of the Giants.

Joseph, 25, started 46-of-48 games for the Giants the past three seasons and racked up nine sacks while averaging 55 tackles per year. He's equally strong against the run and as a pass rusher. With Kevin Williams, Fred Evans, and Letroy Guion all free agents, the Vikings were starving for a starter to plug in next to Sharrif Floyd. Joseph was considered a priority for the Giants.

The Giants are likely to be priced out of free agent Linval Joseph's market if he is allowed to reach free agency.

Joseph's cost will likely be too high for a Giants team with a ton of holes to fill. Joseph is only 25-year-old and had an outstanding contract season in 2013. He could command $6 million annually in free agency.

ESPN's Dan Graziano believes it's becoming "more and more evident" that free agent DT Linval Joseph is "determined to hit the market."

Graziano considers Joseph more likely than Hakeem Nicks to be re-signed by the Giants, but ultimately both could leave. Joseph is only 25 years old and returning from an outstanding contract season. He's not going to be cheap.

Free agent DT Linval Joseph reiterated that he wants to be back with the Giants next season.

Joseph is one of the top defensive tackles available and would likely need to accept a team-friendly deal to return. Entering his age 26 season, he could command $6 million annually on a new contract. The Giants would be left with just Cullen Jenkins, Johnathan Hankins, and Markus Kuhn if they fail to re-sign Joseph. DT Mike Patterson is also an impending free agent.

The Newark Star-Ledger thinks impending free agent DT Linval Joseph may have to take a team-friendly deal to return to the Giants.

Joseph made it clear he wants to re-sign with the Giants, but at 25 years old and coming off three solid seasons he's likely going to go to the highest bidder. The Giants have never really paid defensive tackles much coin in the past, and the Star-Ledger puts Joseph's chances of returning at 40 percent. Joseph will likely be seeking somewhere near $6 million annually on his next deal.

The Newark Star-Ledger believes Giants impending free agent DT Linval Joseph could command $35-40 million on a new contract.

Joseph is just 25 years old and is coming off a third consecutive strong season. He's started 46 of the Giants' past 48 games and has nine sacks over that span. Joseph is also a quality run-stuffing defensive tackle at 6-foot-4, 323. He's our No. 2 free-agent defensive tackle, behind Chicago's Henry Melton and ahead of Green Bay's B.J. Raji. The Giants will likely prioritize Joseph.

Giants DT Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) is listed as out for Week 5 against the Eagles.

The G-Men are incredibly banged up entering Sunday's bout with Philly's No. 1 rushing offense. Fellow DT Cullen Jenkins (Achilles, knee) is listed as questionable, and New York is without three key members of its secondary.

ESPN New York expects the Giants to prioritize re-signing DT Linval Joseph.

It's a bad sign when you're already discussing next year's free agency plans three weeks into the season. The Giants have a few big-name players operating on expiring contracts. Hakeem Nicks and Justin Tuck are the main two. However, Nicks and Tuck haven't played well during the Giants' 0-3 start. Joseph is only 24 years old. He's above average against the run and as a pass rusher.

Giants DT Linval Joseph required post-season ankle surgery.

Coach Tom Coughlin downplayed the procedure, suggesting Joseph will be "fine." The one unsung member of the Giants' stout front four, Joseph came up big in the playoffs, pushing the pocket and plugging the middle in the run game.

Linval Joseph is working as the new starting nose tackle at Giants training camp.

He'll open the season there. The 46th pick in last year's draft, Joseph is Barry Cofield's replacement at nose tackle. Joseph only played 60 snaps in his rookie season, so he's going from non-factor to starter without being eased in. Still, Joseph has loads of talent and was a star in 2010 training camp. The Giants' run defense projects as an easy top-ten unit in 2011.

SI's Peter King calls second-round DT Linval Joseph "the most impressive draft choice in [Giants] camp."

Defensive tackle wasn't high on the Giants' list of needs heading into the draft, but Joseph was easily the top player on the their draft board when the 46th selection came around. He'll be a rotational player for what should be the most improved defensive line in the league.
