Logs full practice Oruwariye (back) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Impact Oruwariye was sidelined during Detroit's 36-27 victory over the Commanders with a back injury, but his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he's moved past the issue. In the team's season opener against Philadelphia, the 6-foot-2 cornerback corralled four tackles and one pass defensed. Expect Oruwariye to reclaim his starting spot at cornerback during Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Questionable for Week 2 Oruwariye (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.
Impact Oruwariye landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and didn't practice Friday, but he still has a shot to play in Week 2. If he's unable to suit up, Mike Hughes and Will Harris would be likely candidates for increased snaps versus Washington.

Limited in practice Thursday Oruwariye (back) was listed as a limited participant on the Lions' injury report Thursday.
Impact Oruwariye picked up an unspecified back issue after not being listed with any injuries on Detroit's practice report Wednesday. The 26-year-old appeared to be working through some lower-back tightness, as he was spotted stretching during Thursday's sessions, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports. If Oruwairye, who recorded four tackles and one pass defended during his start in Week 1, is ultimately unable to suit up this Sunday, then cornerbacks Mike Hughes, Will Harris and Bobby Price figure to log increased usage versus the Commanders.

Could land contract extension Oruwariye is a candidate for a contract extension in the near future, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Impact The 2019 fifth-round draft pick hasn't missed many games relative to 2020 No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah (Achilles) since both defensive backs entered the NFL. Oruwariye is also coming off a highly productive 2021 campaign (57 tackles, six interceptions) as Detroit's No. 1 cornerback despite having played behind one of the least imposing defensive fronts in the league. While it could take a while for both sides to come to an agreement after Denzel Ward reset the cornerback market this offseason, look for the Lions to extend Oruwariye before long. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old looks to be past his broken thumb, considering he has reportedly been working out at team headquarters this spring.
