The Detroit Lions are activating cornerback Emmanuel Moseley from injured reserve, and placing rookie corner Ennis Rakestraw on injured reserve with a hamstring injury in a corresponding move.
Coming off his third stint on injured reserve in as many years, Mosely will have a chance to prove he is still the player the Lions coveted during the 2023 free agency period. Coming off an ACL in his final year with the 49ers, the Lions signed Mosely and he was expected to challenge for a starting role on the outside. After suffering a setback during his rehabilitation, Mosely was eventually able to rejoin the Lions mid-season and tore his other ACL just a few snaps into his return.
