Due to a steady stream of injuries, the Detroit Lions have yet to have their full secondary available this season.
Last Sunday, it was Tracy Walker and Darryl Roberts who were sidelined. They joined the team's growing list of defensive backs who have missed time this season, including first-round draft pick Jeff Okudah, top free-agent signing Desmond Trufant and last season's defensive snap leader Justin Coleman.
But from absences have come opportunities, and no player has capitalized on those opportunities more than Amani Oruwariye. The second-year cornerback out of Penn State got the starting nod the first seven games and has been Detroit's best cornerback this season.
