Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Making progress in recovery
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) will begin walking on an anti-gravity treadmill Wednesday, as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered in Week 5 against the Panthers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Moseley is four weeks removed from surgery to repair his ACL and is ahead of schedule compared to his 2022 tear. Birkett notes that the Tennessee product is in great spirits despite the devastating injury. Although he will be unable to return this season, Moseley should be ready to return at some point in 2024.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against New England.
Moseley appeared to hurt his right knee while in pass coverage during the first half and won't be able to return.

Jerry Jacobs played a near every-down role with Moseley on injured reserve over the first four weeks and should continue to do so Sunday and potentially beyond.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Leaves game Sunday
Rotowire
Moseley exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with a knee injury and is questionable to come back in, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
The cornerback was making his season debut after recovering from an ACL tear and a hamstring injury. Moseley's ACL tear was on his left knee, but it was his right one being examined Sunday.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Could return Week 5
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) practiced in full Friday and is questionable for Sunday's Week 5 contest at home against the Panthers.
Moseley logged a trio of limited practices Week 4 but didn't play in a Thursday contest against the Packers. He began this week with another pair of limited sessions before he was able to progress to full practice participation Friday. Moseley thus seems to have a good chance to play Sunday against Carolina, which would be his first game action since he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in Week 5 last year.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Limited on practice estimate
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Detroit's practice estimate Wednesday.
Moseley was estimated as a limited participant at this time before the Lions' contest at Green Bay in Week 4, too, so it's too early to say for sure that he'll be ready to play in Week 5. He will still probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to shed his injury designation before Sunday.

Moseley is still working his way back from an ACL tear he suffered in October 2022, and he seems to be progressing well ahead of Thursday's game at Kansas City. Whether he'll be available in Week 1 is still up in the air, though, and if he has to sit out, it'll be interesting to see who among Will Harris, Steven Gilmore and Khalil Dorsey is active.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Could miss start of season
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) is still without a timetable to return this season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Moseley reported to camp late after undergoing a clean-up procedure on his knee and remains on the team's active/PUP list. He was originally expected to be ready Week 1 and took part in walkthrough drills during minicamp. However, the 27-year-old doesn't want to comment on what caused his setback, stating, "I don't want to go deeper into kind of what happened or whatever, but just know right now I'm feeling pretty good." When asked if he might be ready by the season opener, he added, "I'm not going to throw no numbers out there or a timeline, but if you see me out, just know I'll be very excited." Moseley is expected to play a key role in the Lions secondary this season, but he'll need to get healthy first, and it still remains unclear when that will be.

Rotowire
Moseley is feared to have sustained a torn left ACL during Sunday's win over Carolina, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Moseley sustained a knee injury while breaking up a pass late in Sunday's victory, and initial tests point toward a significant injury. He was on crutches in the locker room after the game and was unable to put any weight on his left leg.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley: Won't be back before Week 18
Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Moseley (ankle) won't be back until Week 18 at the earliest, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Moseley's eligible to return from IR as early as Week 17 against Houston, but Shanahan says he won't be ready by then. If Moseley's back for the season finale against the Rams, he could use that game as an opportunity to knock off some rust before the playoffs, assuming the 49ers are able to make it.

Rotowire
