The Los Angeles Rams have activated cornerback Aqib Talib from injured reserve, the team announced Friday.

Talib was placed on IR with an ankle injury after Week 3 and was designated to return to football on Monday.

The five-time Pro Bowler recorded nine tackles and a forced fumble during the first three games of the year.

Acquired in a March trade with the Denver Broncos, Talib is an instrumental part of the team's defense and will be a welcomed upgrade to the secondary.

The Rams square off against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
