Former Tennessee cornerback Emmanuel Moseley suffered another brutal injury on Tuesday morning. Moseley suffered a torn pec and is out indefinitely according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
There is no defined time table for Moseley to return to injury but traditionally a torn pec sidelines a player for six months. If that traditional injury timeline proves accurate, than Moseley will miss the entirety of the 2024-25 season.
It’s another brutal break for Moseley who has missed each of the last two seasons with long term injuries. In week five of the 2022 season, Moseley tore his ACL while he was still with the San Fransisco 49ers. One year later, Moseley suffered the same fate when he tore his ACL in week five of the NFL season.

Moseley is now a member of the Detroit Lions. The former Tennessee cornerback signed a two-year, $9.4 million contract with the Lions ahead of the 2023-24 season. The Greensboro, North Carolina native is a free agent again after this season making the injury and even bigger blow.
In Detroit, Moseley is teammates with his former Tennessee teammate Jalen Reeves-Maybin who has been a special teams staple with the emergent Lions.
Moseley is in his seventh-year of his NFL career after spending the first five years of his professional career with San Fransisco. The former Tennessee corner started as a backup and special teams player for the 49ers before becoming a starter by the end of his San Fransisco tenure. In five years with San Fransisco, Moseley totaled 162 tackles, four interceptions and 33 pass breakups.
