Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is out indefinitely after sustaining a torn pectoral muscle, coach Dan Campbell announced Tuesday.
Moseley has endured season-ending ACL injuries in back-to-back campaigns. A torn pectoral often is a season-ending injury, however it’s conceivable that he could return late in the campaign.
“It’s tough,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said, per the Detroit Free Press. “That’s tough. He’s the one that’s put so much work coming back from two ACLs. It’s frustrating, but he knows. Look, you’ve got two decisions, you either rally one more time, or you say, you know what, enough is enough. My gut is going to tell me he’s going to rally again.
“Nothing says that he may not be ready by the end of the year. I mean we’re still trying to figure all those things out.”
Moseley, 28, tore his right ACL just two snaps into his Lions debut in a win against Carolina on Oct. 8, 2023.
That injury occurred 364 days after tearing the ACL in his left knee, also against the Panthers, while playing for the San Francisco 49ers.
Moseley has recorded 162 tackles, 33 passes defensed and four interceptions in 46 games (33 starts) for the 49ers (2018-22) and Lions.
