The UFL acknowledged Joseph’s arrest in a statement to Dallas-area TV station WFAA, but declined any further comment. 

Joseph was a second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 after playing for both LSU and Kentucky in college. 

He played 10 games his rookie year in Dallas (two starts) with 16 combined tackles and two passes defended over that time. However, a serious off-the-field issue occurred during the 2022 offseason.
