Former Notre Dame safety Brandon Joseph is doing whatever he can to make the Detroit Lions 53-man roster this year.

Joseph, who played at Notre Dame for the 2022 season, spent last year mostly on the Lions practice squad, but played two regular season games.

On Thursday, Joseph and the Lions were taking on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. With the Lions leading 3-0 late in the first quarter, Joseph forced the first turnover of the game, intercepting Giants quarterback Drew Lock.

Joseph spent the 2022 season at Notre Dame after transferring from Northwestern where he played from 2019-2021.

In 2020, Joseph was named a consensus All-American after recording six interceptions in nine games for a Northwestern team that surprised the Big Ten by winning the conference's western division.
