Dallas Cowboys sign another cornerback after DaRon Bland’s injury

The Dallas Cowboys already have a pretty impressive secondary, even with DaRon Bland injured and out for the next six to eight weeks, but that won’t stop them from looking for more talent.

On Thursday, the team signed former Penn State standout Amani Oruwariye to its practice squad.

Oruwariye was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NDL Draft by the Detroit Lions.

In his four years with Detroit, Oruwariye started 36 times in 54 games. Oruwariye proved to be a ball hunter during this time, recording nine interceptions and 24 pass defenses.

In 2021, he had six interceptions and was among the league’s leaders before being placed on the injured list with a thumb injury.

Detroit went in a different direction in 2023 and Oruwariye spent the first part of the season with the New York Giants’ practice squad. He was released in October and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he appeared in just one game.

Oruwariye was released this week when the Jaguars reduced their roster to 53 players.
