Lions place CB Emmanuel Moseley on PUP list to start training camp

The Detroit Lions placed free agent signee Emmanuel Moseley on the physically unable to perform, or PUP list, to start training camp.

Moseley was signed in the offseason as a free agent from the San Francisco 49ers, but he was rehabbing a knee injury. Moseley’s progress from ACL surgery has left him not yet ready to roll in practices. In fact, he’s not present in Allen Park to start camp.

“Moseley is not here yet,” head coach Dan Campbell announced before the opening practice. “He will be. He’s excused. He will start on PUP when he arrives and it’s probably going to be longer than what we hoped for.”

Moseley was at the team’s minicamp in June, but sporting a hefty brace on his leg. He was noticeably less mobile at that time than rookie QB Hendon Hooker, who begins camp on the NFI list with ACL surgery of his own.

Campbell elaborated on the timeline for Moseley,

“That’s really predicated on the work he was doing. He was progressing so fast. So we’re just going to put the brakes on a little bit. I don’t want to say ‘setback’, but it’s just a little bit — it’ll be a little bit longer.”

Moseley is expected to compete with Jerry Jacobs for the No. 2 outside cornerback role opposite Cam Sutton.
