Report: Possible Lions RB target Zack Moss’ knee is healthy

One of the more popular running backs in the 2020 NFL Draft amongst Detroit Lions fans got some good news on Thursday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Utah RB Zack Moss got positive feedback on his surgically repaired right knee.

Moss tore up the knee in the 2018 season, missing the final five games. It was not an on-field injury, interestingly enough; Moss injured the knee when it locked up on him as he got into bed.

The big back rebounded with a strong 2019 campaign, rushing for 1,416 yards at 15 touchdowns. He is generally projected as a second- or third-round pick in most NFL draft forecasts.

NFL teams notified Utah RB Zack Moss, who underwent knee surgery in 2018, that his surgically repaired knee checked out well, per his agent Jamal Tooson. Moss’ knee was a concern for teams and the player coming into the process, but this was his best-case scenario.

It is important to note Schefter cites the information comes from Moss’ agent, Jamal Tooson. NFL teams will still want to make their own determination of the knee, something they are unable to do in person during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.
