Amani Oruwariye thanks Lions fans after going on IR on Christmas day

Lions fans sent the love to Amani Oruwariye, and the cornerback felt it and appreciated the well-wishes.

Oruwariye’s 2021 season came to an end on Christmas day when the Lions placed the third-year cornerback on injured reserve with a thumb injury. Fans immediately took to social media to wish Oruwariye a speedy recovery and thank him for a very good season. His six interceptions is good for third in the NFL and Oruwariye has been a beacon of reliability in coverage in a sea of constantly changing personnel around the secondary.

True to his good nature, Oruwariye posted a message on Twitter thanking the fans. “Appreciate all the love this year.. Merry Christmas”, Oruwariye posted.

We echo the Lions original tweet. Get well soon, Amani, we need you back and healthy for 2022.
