Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley remains one of the NFL’s unluckiest players when it comes to injuries.
Emmanuel Moseley ruptured his left ACL in 2022, his right ACL in 2023, and now has a damaged pectoral in 2024. It’s tough to see a player go through this.
Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley remains one of the NFL’s unluckiest players when it comes to injuries.
Moseley played his first five seasons with the 49ers, including a rookie season in 2018 that lasted only three snaps due to a season-ending shoulder injury. Moseley had one of his greatest years in 2019, appearing in all 16 games (making nine starts) and making a career high 50 combined tackles with eight Passes were defended, and there was also one interception.
Throughout the team’s three playoff games, he recorded 14 tackles, four passes defended, and one interception, assisting the Niners in reaching Super Bowl LIV.
The 28-year-old was limited to 12 games in 2020 and 11 in 2021, but his 2022 season was cut short by a torn left ACL suffered during the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 5 road victory over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
The undrafted Tennessee product signed with the Lions in March 2023 and made his NFL debut in Week 5 against the Panthers at Ford Field in Detroit. Ford Field, like Bank of America Stadium, features artificial turf.
That game took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, the day before Moseley’s ACL tear was one year old. Moseley tore his right ACL on just his second play with Detroit, ruining his season.
He re-signed with the Lions on a one-year contract in March. According to ESPN, Moseley was “transitioning away from outside cornerback during training camp” to compete with Amik Robertson and Ifeatu Melifonwu for the team’s main nickel cornerback spot.
