A quiet but concerning move by Lions safety Kerby Joseph has sent ripples through the fan base and media — the young defensive back recently deleted his X account and wiped all photos from his Instagram profile.
Joseph has been sidelined for the past six weeks with a knee injury, and while the team has attempted to manage the situation, recent comments from coaching staff cast doubt on whether the knee will ever feel “100%” again.
Fans also noticed Joseph posted a simple message on his social media story — “God Help Me” — shortly before removing his accounts altogether. It’s a move that many interpret as more than a routine social-media break.
At this point, there is no official confirmation that his wipe-down signals a deeper issue beyond frustration or a desire to step back from outside noise. Teammates and staff have reiterated that his recovery remains “day-to-day.”
Still, for a team already dealing with injuries and fighting for playoff positioning, losing a starter — even mentally or emotionally — carries weight. Detroit will be watching closely, both on and off the field, as they wait for clarity on Joseph’s status.
