Emmanuel Moseley

Lions designated CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) to return from injured reserve.

Moseley and S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle/Achilles) had their 21-day practice windows activated today and both should return in the coming weeks, boosting a Lions defense that took a big hit when it lost star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson (leg) in Week 6. The front office also notably traded for Za’Darius Smith earlier this week. Smith’s addition, plus the two returning defensive backs suddenly have this defense on the upswing.
