Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that cornerback Emmanuel Moseley tore his right ACL in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers.

"It’s unfortunate but we just got confirmation on that a little bit ago and so that’s – hate it for him," said Campbell. "And it’s frustrating to put all that work in and then this happens on the other one. But, just knowing him and knowing the way he works, this’ll sting for a little bit and then he’ll go back to work and then he’ll come back and be ready to go when the time is right."

ESPN was first to report.

While playing for the San Francisco 49ers last season, Moseley tore his left ACL in Week 5 against Carolina.

Moseley was out for almost a full year – 364 days – before he returned on Sunday with the Lions. He signed a one-year deal with Detroit in the offseason. He underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee this summer and suffered a hamstring issue.
