Lions take another flier on cornerback Emmanuel Moseley
Since the detroit lions barely saw emmanuel moseley last season, they’re giving it (and him) another shot.
The detroit lions took a one-year flier on cornerback emmanuel moseley, who was recovering from a torn acl in the offseason as part of their secondary rebuild.
They’re doing it again before free agency starts, according to espn’s adam schefter. The contract terms have not been confirmed yet.
Moseley was reportedly having a “clean-up” surgery on his injured knee in march 2023, which he later added to the mix of hamstring injuries.
Moseley made his lions’ debut in week 5 against the carolina panthers, and he played two plays before torn his other (right) acl.
Week 5 seems to be his jam, as he tore his left acl in week 5 of the 2022 season for the san francisco 49ers vs. the panthers. Emmanuel moseley is expected to play early next season after being hospitalized in early october.
He is unlikely to be ready for the start of training camp, and overall, based on last year’s experience, he will not be rushed into anything.
Justin rogers of the detroit news caught up with moseley at the end of last season.
He was on the team, attending practices, sitting in on meetings, and generally being a veteran with playoff experience. “i’ve found joy in coming around, being around my teammates, seeing them excited, being excited about going to the playoffs,” moseley said. “it’s the little things like that that haven’t been done in a long time.”
Just being around and making sure i’m helping the guys out as much as i can with what i see on film. “i’m going around to help them because that’s what guys did for me,” he said. When moseley was healthy in 2021 and early 2022, the 49ers were doing a great job. After torn an acl in back-to-back seasons, he now has a big problem with his health.
The lions are smart to give him another shot, with only upside and no realistic hopes that he’ll be a starter on another one-year deal.
