Moseley suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Moseley will now work towards returning to the field for the start of the 2023 campaign.
49ers Head Coach Mike Shanahan had expressed concerns Moseley could have torn his ACL in a post-game interview Sunday.
“It definitely took away a little of the excitement at the end,” said Shanahan.
“To see E-man go down like that, it almost felt like Trey Lance too, you know? Those are both my guys,” said safety Talanoa Hufanga.
There were additional injuries during the game. Pass rusher Nick Bosa left with a tightness in his groin, while safety Jimmie Ward broke his hand and kicker Robbie Gould suffered a knee contusion.
“It’s tough. It is football,” said quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. “It’s a tight locker room in there. It sucks whenever we lose a guy.”
The 26-year-old Moseley totaled 21 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception this season, with the pick coming earlier in the game against the Panthers. Fellow cornerbacks Samuel Womack and Ambry Thomas are in line to receive additional opportunities moving forward behind starters Deommodore Lenoir and Charvarius Ward.
