After Joseph was not included in the 2018 NFL Draft , the Miami Dolphins signed him . Before the start of the 2018 NFL season , he turned his attempts into field goals in all preparatory games, but ultimately lost out to Jason Sanders in casting the final squad .
After the second game day of the season, Joseph was signed by the Cleveland Browns . They had previously separated from their kicker Zane Gonzalez , who had given a total of four attempts for additional points or field goals in the 18:21 defeat at the New Orleans Saints .
In his first game against the New York Jets on September 20, 2018, Joseph scored two field goals. He had a share in the 21:17 win of the Browns, who had not won an NFL game for 21 months.
In the following season, Joseph was fired in the course of the final squad reduction to 53 players and a little later, on November 25, 2019, he was committed to the Practice Squad of the Carolina Panthers . On December 18, 2019, he replaced the injured Ryan Succop as a kicker with the Tennessee Titans.
