Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley made his long-awaited return to action on Sunday against the Colts. It was Moseley's first game since Week 1 of the 2023 season, when he tore his ACL for the second straight time just two snaps into the season. Moseley also suffered a torn pectoral muscle during training camp.
Moseley was activated from injured reserve on Friday and was active for Sunday's game, playing 15 snaps on special teams. Campbell spoke about Moseley this week and was asked how close he was to contributing to the defense.
“He’s ready,” Campbell said. “I think that was – that game (Sunday) was big. He hadn't played in two years, and the opportunity to go out there and know, 'Okay, I can trust this, I can trust my body.'”
Campbell added: “He's gone out there, competed and done good teamwork for us, but yeah, I think he's ready. “I think he's ready and we're not afraid to use him.”
It was definitely a great success for Moseley, as he also felt successful when he came out of the game healthy. “It's a blessing to be out there and just be out there with my brothers running around and most importantly coming out of the game healthy. That was huge,” Moseley said. . “It's been two years since I did this. It was great.”
