Moseley (pectoral) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Despite a week of full practice sessions, the Tennessee product's availability Sunday is still in question. Moseley has yet to play this season after tearing his pec in early August and still must be activated to Detroit's active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. If he can't return, expect Amik Robertson to serve as the Lions' top slot corner.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Continues getting practice reps
Rotowire
Moseley (pectoral) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimate.
Moseley was designated to return from IR on Nov. 8 and continues to work toward making his 2024 debut. His ability to be listed as a full participant Wednesday is a good sign that his return could be coming sooner rather than later. A clearer picture of his status for Sunday will likely come Thursday or Friday.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: In line to shift to IR
Rotowire
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.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Out indefinitely with torn pec
Rotowire
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.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Another chance with Detroit
Rotowire
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 27-year-old cornerback suffered the same injury on his second defensive snap of the season when he made his debut with Detroit in Week 5. He will now get another opportunity with the club as it bolsters its secondary for 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. He was making his 2023 debut Sunday after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee in Week 5 last year. 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. The sixth-year pro suffered the torn ACL last season with the 49ers and then signed a one-year deal with the Lions in the offseason.

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 estimated injury report
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) was estimated as a limited participant at Detroit's walkthrough Monday.
Moseley has still yet to make his 2023 debut, but Monday's estimation is a step in the right direction ahead of Thursday at the Packers. The Lions' injury reports Tuesday and Wednesday will serve as better indicators of whether he'll be ready to go for Week 4.

Rotowire
Moseley (knee/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Seahawks.
Moseley missed the entirety of training camp while recovering from ACL surgery and is now dealing with a hamstring strain on top of it. With Moseley out again, Cam Sutton and Jerry Jacobs will line up as Detroit's top two cornerbacks in a date with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Logs limited practice Monday
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.
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.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley: Feared to have sustained torn ACL
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. He'll presumably undergo further testing in the coming days to confirm his diagnosis, but he'll be forced to miss significant time if he's ultimately confirmed to have a torn ACL.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley: Full participant Monday
Rotowire
Moseley (hamstring) participated in the 49ers' full-team sessions during practice Monday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Moseley returned in full to practice Monday for the first time since straining his hamstring during practice Aug. 8. The fifth-year cornerback, who totaled 42 tackles and a career-high 11 passes defended over 11 starts last year, figures to reprise this significant pass-coverage role alongside a new running mate in Charvarius Ward (groin) this regular season.

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.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Moseley (ankle) was placed on IR on Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athleticreports.
Moseley's move to IR is not shocking, as head coach Kyle Shanahan said he'd likely miss "several weeks" Dec. 6. With Dontae Johnson (personal) also out Sunday against the Bengals, Deommodore Lenoir and Ambry Thomas will likely be left to pick up the slack. Moseley will be eligible to return for Week 17 against the Texans.

Moseley (knee) is inactive for the 49ers' Week 2 contest against the Eagles on Sunday,
Moseley will now miss each of the team's first two games of the season with a knee injury. However, he did return to practice in a limited fashion Friday, giving some potential hope regarding his status for Week 3.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley: Listed as doubtful for Week 2
Rotowire
Moseley (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but he is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's "holding out hope" that Moseley would be available against the Eagles, but it appears that the 25-year-old will miss his second straight game. K'Waun Williams played 61 snaps while Moseley was sidelined Week 1 and will likely see a similar workload in Week 2.
