Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley tore his ACL just minutes after returning from a previous knee injury, multiple outlets reported Monday.

Moseley, 27, was injured just two plays into his season debut in Sunday's 42-24 victory against the visiting Carolina Panthers.

The latest injury occurred 364 days after he tore the ACL in his left knee, also against the Panthers, while playing for the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 9, 2022.

"I know on tape or the replay it certainly didn't look good, but we won't know a ton until we get the MRI, which will probably be (Monday) afternoon," head coach Dan Campbell said after Sunday's game.

The Lions signed Moseley to a reported one-year, $6 million deal in March. He missed all of training camp after a cleanup procedure this summer on his left knee.

Moseley has recorded 162 tackles, 33 passes defensed and four interceptions in 46 games (33 starts) for Detroit and San Francisco (2018-22).
