The Chargers continue to add much-needed pieces in the trenches, but this time it’s on the defensive side of the ball.

Following the release of Brandon Mebane, it created a massive hole. The acquisition of Joseph will fill that void.

In 2019, Joseph tallied 44 tackles (26 solos), six tackles for loss, and three sacks. He also earned a grade of 71.2 from Pro Football Focus, marking the eighth straight season he’s received a grade above 70.
