EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Detroit Lions defensive back Emmanuel Moseley is out indefinitely after he was injured in a joint practice with the New York Giants.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Moseley could potentially return late in the season.
ESPN reported that Moseley tore a pectoral muscle.
Detroit did get better news regarding other players banged up in a physical practice in New Jersey with the Giants.
Rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold, the No. 24 overall pick, cleared concussion protocol after colliding with Giants offensive tackle Andrew Thomas on Monday. Offensive guard Kevin Zeitler, a key addition in the offseason, is not expected to have a long-term shoulder injury after he was hurt in the first joint practice of the week.
The Giants will host Detroit on Thursday night in the preseason opener for both teams.
The Lions were counting on the 28-year-old Moseley to be part of their revamped secondary, but he has a significant injury for a third straight year. He played in only one game for Detroit last season, making his debut with the team in Week 5 after recovering from a knee injury only to have a second straight season-ending knee injury.
Moseley started in 33 of 45 games for San Francisco from 2018 to 2022 and had an interception in each of his last four seasons with the 49ers before signing with the Lions.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Protesters returned to the streets across Spain on Saturday in anger over high housing costs with no relief in sight.
Thousands marched in the capital, Madrid, and over 30 other cities in a demonstration organized by housing activists and backed by Spain’s main labor unions.
The housing crisis has hit particularly hard in Spain, where there is a strong tradition of home ownership and scant public housing for rent. Rents have been driven up by increased demand. Buying a home has become unaffordable for many, with market pressures and speculation driving up prices, especially in big cities and coastal areas.
A generation of young people say they have to stay with their parents or spend big just to share an apartment, with little chance of saving enough to one day purchase a home. High housing costs mean even those with traditionally well-paying jobs are struggling to make ends meet.
“I’m living with four people and still, I allocate 30 or 40% of my salary to rent,” said Mari Sánchez, a 26-year-old lawyer in Madrid. “That doesn’t allow me to save. That doesn’t allow me to do anything. It doesn’t even allow me to buy a car. That’s my current situation, and the one many young people are living through.”
The average rent in Spain has almost doubled in the last 10 years. The price per square meter rose from 7.2 euros ($7.9) in 2014 to 13 euros last year, according to real estate website Idealista. The increase is bigger in Madrid and Barcelona.
Incomes have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment.
Spain does not have the public housing that other European nations have invested in to cushion struggling renters from a market that is pricing them out.
Spain is near the bottom end of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries with public housing for rent making up under 2% of all available housing. The OECD average is 7%. In France it is is 14%, Britain 16% and the Netherlands 34%.
Angry renters point to instances of international hedge funds buying up properties, often with the aim of renting them to foreign tourists. The question has become so politically charged that Barcelona’s city government pledged last year to phase out all its 10,000 permits for short-term rentals, many of them advertised on platforms like Airbnb, by 2028.
Marchers in Madrid on Saturday chanted “Get Airbnb out of our neighborhoods" and held up signs against short-term rentals.
The central government's biggest initiative for curbing the cost of housing is a rent cap mechanism it has offered to regional authorities, based on a price index established by the housing ministry.
But such measures have not proven enough to stop protests over the past two years. Experts say the situation likely won't improve anytime soon.
“This is not the first, nor will it be the last, (housing protest) given the severity of the housing crisis,” Ignasi Martí, professor with the Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory, said in an email.
“We saw this with the financial crisis (of 2008-2012) when (a protest movement) lasted until there was a certain economic recovery and a reduction in the social tension," Marti added.
