According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Detroit Lions are planning to waive safety C.J. Moore with an injury designation.
Moore has been dealing with a lower leg injury for several weeks now and was seen in a walking boot during the final week of training camp. Per Fowler, if Moore clears waivers, he will revert back to the team’s injured reserve list, ending his 2022 season (unless the Lions release him again with an injury settlement).
Moore has long been one of the team’s major contributors on special teams, ranking in the top five of special teams snaps for the Lions in each of his three seasons.
