Denver waived Ozigbo on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Ozigbo was claimed off waivers by the Broncos last week after being let go by the Saints a day before. He led Denver in rushing during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Vikings, logging 13 carries for 59 yards while securing all four of his targets for 24 yards. However, his performance wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster.

Spiller (ankle) returned to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

The rookie was out for less than two weeks after spraining his ankle in the Chargers' second preseason game. He may be only third or fourth on the depth chart to start the year, but it at least appears he'll be available if the Chargers need him, which could be fairly soon given that the other guys (Joshua Kelley, Larry Rountree) jostling for backup roles behind Austin Ekeler were unimpressive last year.

The Bengals waived Patrick on Tuesday.

Patrick returned to the Bengals at the end of July to serve as a depth running back while Cincinnati dealt with multiple injuries, but he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 25-year-old has spent time on multiple teams' practice squads, but he's only appeared in two regular season NFL games -- both with San Francisco in 2021.

Blasingame is one of two fullbacks to make the Bears' opening-day roster, according to the team's official site.

Blasingame is atop the Bears' depth chart at fullback. He'll likely see time when the team uses heavy personnel packages, though it's unlikely he averages more than one touch per game on offense.

The Ravens have waived McCrary, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

McCrary is a casualty of Baltimore's final roster cuts, as he was unable to move up the depth chart during the preseason. He spent time on the team's practice squad in 2021. He will be a candidate to start 2022 there again assuming he clears waivers.

Badie has been waived by Baltimore, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Badie saw a lot of work during the preseason but failed to make enough of an impression to land a spot on the team's 53-man roster. Still, assuming he clears waivers, the Missouri product is a candidate to land on the Ravens' practice squad.

Thompson was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Thompson was unsurprisingly unable to make it through the Seahawks final roster cuts. He will presumably be a candidate to land on the team's practice squad assuming he ultimately goes unclaimed on waivers.

Dallas waived Davis on Tuesday.

Davis failed to beat out Rico Dowdle for the No. 3 spot behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard despite an impressive preseason, but he could very well pop back up on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Florida may have even showcased enough to earn attention on the waiver wire from other clubs.

The Bears waived Evans on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Evans saw significant work throughout the preseason, totaling 19 rushes for 77 yards and a score while catching six passes for 27 yards, but he still finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 2020 third-round pick has only appeared in six career games across two seasons in Tennessee, but he'll have to look for a new opportunity after his stint in Chicago was cut short.

Jackson made the Colts' 53-man roster as the No. 3 running back, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Jackson was a surprise winner of the competition over Phillip Lindsay, D'Vonte Price and Ty'Son Williams. However, Jackson won't get many snaps on offense as long as Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines remain healthy. He may see almost all his action on special teams.
