The Dallas Cowboys are battling rampant injury issues across their defense. To help bolster their depth, Dallas has turned to a former Lions starter in the secondary.

In advance of Sunday afternoon’s game in Dallas, the Cowboys elevated cornerback Amani Oruwariye from their practice squad to the active lineup against the Lions. He’ll take the spot of regular starter DaRon Bland, who was not activated from the injured reserve for the game.
