EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (WXYZ) — Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley will be out indefinitely after tearing his pectoral in practice, according to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Moseley only appeared in one game for the Lions last season, with Dan Campbell confirming last October that he tore right his ACL in the Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers. A year prior to that, Moseley tore his left ACL while playing with the San Francisco 49ers.
Emmanuel Moseley gets emotional when talking about how much it means to him to be a part of this "new swagger" Lions defense, and that Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes still believed in him despite two ACL injuries.

Moseley signed with the Niners as an undrafted free agent in 2018. In five seasons in San Francisco, Moseley started in 33 of the 46 games he played in, racking up 162 tackles, five tackles for loss, four interceptions and a touchdown in 2022.
The Lions are in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for joint practices with the New York Giants. Guard Kevin Zeitler and cornerback Terrion Arnold left yesterday's practice early, with Zeitler being evaluated for a shoulder injury and Arnold entering concussion protocol.
Campbell told reporters Tuesday morning that Moseley, Zeitler, tight end Sam LaPorta, linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu will not be practicing today. Campbell said that the injuries for Zeitler, LaPorta, Rodriguez and Melifonwu are minor.
