Amani Oruwariye’s breakout season is over.
The Detroit Lions placed Oruwariye on season-ending injured reserve Saturday with a thumb injury he suffered late in last week’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Oruwariye suffered what Lions coach Dan Campbell described as a ligament and bone injury on the final drive of the game.
He did not practice this week and was consulting with specialists to see if he would require surgery.
A fifth-round pick out of Penn State in 2019, Oruwariye leads the Lions and ranks third in the NFL with six interceptions.
