According to Paul Livengood of WFAA, Joseph was taken into custody as "Police said officers observed signs of intoxication while speaking to Joseph. He was arrested and charged with DWI and collision involving personal injury or death."

This isn't the first time Joseph has found himself in trouble with the law. During his tenure with Dallas, he was a person of interest in a deadly shooting outside the OT Tavern Bar and Grill in Lower Greenville in March 2022. Joseph was cleared of any wrongdoing, although he was inside the vehicle where the shots were fired.

A product of Kentucky, Joseph was selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft . He played just two seasons with Dallas before being traded to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for Noah Igbinoghene.

Joseph never caught on with Miami and spent time with the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, and Indianapolis Colts over the past two seasons.
