The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed safety Karl Joseph on the practice squad/COVID-19 list, the team announced. 

Joseph is the first player to be placed on the list this week after the Steelers' reserve list hit six players prior to the Kansas City Chiefs game. Joseph joins running back Anthony McFarland, offensive tackle Zach Banner, defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs and inside linebackers Devin Bush and Marcus Allen on the list. 

Joseph has played in two games for the Steelers this season, recorded two tackles. 

Under the NFL's COVID-19 protocols, if Joseph is vaccinated, he can test out of protocol before the Steelers' Monday night game with the Cleveland Browns. If he's unvaccinated, he'll need to quarantine for 10 days.
