The Detroit Lions will have to wait a little bit longer to get one of their top free agent additions on the field.
The Lions will place cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on the physically unable to perform list, Lions coach Dan Campbell said before the start of training camp Sunday.
Moseley, who signed a one-year deal as part of the revamped Lions secondary this offseason, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last fall. He was a limited participant in offseason workouts, taking some reps in walk-through drills with the first-team defense, but the Lions left the spring hoping to have Moseley on the field early this summer.
Campbell said Moseley is not currently with the team for medical reasons, but declined to elaborate.
“He’s excused,” Campbell said. “He will start on PUP when he arrives and it’s probably going to be a little bit longer than what we hoped for. And that’s really predicated on the work that was going, he was progressing so fast, so we’re going to put the brakes on a little bit. I don’t want to say (it’s a) set back, but it’s just a little bit — it’ll be a little bit longer.”
There are about 15 contenders hoping that the San Diego Padres and New York Mets continue their embarrassing downward spirals and surrender.
There are folks at the Major League Baseball Players Association hoping the big spenders turn it around, proving that spending equals success, with the Mets, Yankees and Padres dropping $880 million on the outside looking in.
