The Lions placed Moseley (pectoral) on injured reserve Tuesday and designated him to return. Moseley tore his pec during a practice in early August and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Under a new NFL rule, the Lions were able to exclude him from the 53-man roster on cut-down day and place him on IR while designating him to return. As such, Moseley will be eligible to return after missing Detroit's first four games of the season.

The Lions placed Moseley (pectoral) on injured reserve Tuesday and designated him to return. Moseley tore his pec during a practice in early August and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Under a new NFL rule, the Lions were able to exclude him from the 53-man roster on cut-down day and place him on IR while designating him to return. As such, Moseley will be eligible to return after missing Detroit's first four games of the season.
The Lions plan to place Moseley (pectoral) on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. According to Schefter, once the move is made, Moseley will be deemed eligible to return to the field at some point this season if he is able. With Moseley sidelined for the foreseeable future, expect Javelin Guidry to serve as Detroit's second-string slot corner.
Moseley (pectoral) suffered a torn pec during Tuesday's practice and is out indefinitely, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Moseley continues to deal with brutal injury luck, after having suffered torn ACLs in each of the last two seasons. The Lions re-signed him on a one-year prove-it contract this offseason, but Moseley's status is now up in the air for the 2024 season. Last year, C.J. Gardner-Johnson (shoulder) suffered a torn pectoral in September while a member of the Lions, and he wasn't able to retake the field until January. Moseley hasn't been given a recovery timetable but doesn't seem likely to be available Week 1 versus the Rams.
Moseley has now recovered from a knee injury, John Maakaron of Sports Illustrated reports. Moseley is now healthy once again after having torn his ACL each of the past two seasons. The 28-year-old will look to contribute as a depth defensive back once the regular season begins.
Moseley (knee) signed a new one-year contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Moseley signed a one-year deal with the Lions last offseason while he was recovering from a torn ACL suffered in 2022. Unfortunately, the Tennessee product suffered the same injury on his second defensive snap of the season when he made his debut with the team in Week 5. The 27-year-old will now get another opportunity in Detroit, as the franchise looks to bolster its secondary for 2024.
