Detroit Lions: Devastating Injury Leaves Reverse Extremely…

The goal of the Detroit Lions’ offseason was to strengthen their secondary. Emmanuel Moseley and other players

were added to aid in stabilising the pass defence. He would be ready close to the start of the season, but he was still

healing from an ACL injury. Tragically, Moseley suffered another injury in his first game back.

Detroit Lions Emmanuel Moseley Tears ACL

It was the left ACL that Moseley tore last season. Now, it is believed that he tore his right ACL in Sunday’s game

against the Carolina Panthers. He suffered the injury very early on in the first quarter. It is an absolutely devastating

blow to the 27-year-old who signed a one-year contract with the Lions in the offseason. The hope was that he could

have a bounce back year and get another contract next offseason. Now, he will spend another year rehabilitating his

other knee and questions now start of whether he will play again.

Moseley isn’t the first free agent signing to go down with a season-ending injury. CJ Gardner-Johnson also is out for

the year after an injury a couple of weeks ago. For a secondary that was touting a bunch of new pieces, they are now

spread very thin. The good news is that second-year star Aidan Hutchinson has taken another leap and is in the

conversation for one of the best edge rushers in the game. Still, the Lions have to be careful that they do not put too

much on him to stop opposing offenses.

Even if you aren’t a Detroit Lions fan, you have to feel for Emmanuel Moseley. I can’t imagine spending a year

rehabbing only to have to do it all over again. Hopefully, he can make a full recovery and be back on the field for next season.
