Ozigbo reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday.
Ozigbo was elevated for a second straight week, failing to record a stat while playing 13 snaps on special teams in Detroit's 38-6 loss to Baltimore. If David Montgomery (ribs) can't go in Week 8 versus the Raiders, it's possible Ozigbo will once again be added to the active roster.

Devine Ozigbo: Let go by Detroit
Rotowire
The Lions released Ozigbo on Sunday.
Ozigbo signed with the Lions on Aug. 9. He appeared in four games for the Broncos in 2022 -- mostly on special teams -- before being cut in late December. He rushed for 34 yards on 15 carries in two preseason games. Ozigbo's special teams experience should help him land a spot elsewhere once he clears waivers.

Devine Ozigbo: Bumps back down to practice squad
Rotowire
Ozigbo reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ozigbo was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season to help fill in for the Broncos' depleted running backs corps Sunday versus Arizona. The 26-year-old still played just five of his 18 snaps on offense during this win, logging two carries for two yards. Ozigbo has now logged four touches for seven yards across four games this season, though he'll need to be re-added to the active roster to suit up again for Denver this season.

Denver elevated Ozigbo from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Arizona, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

Devine Ozigbo: Sticking around on practice squad
Rotowire
The Broncos re-signed Ozigbo to the practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Ozigbo was signed off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but he was limited to one reception on his lone target while playing four offensive snaps. Denver also elevated the 26-year-old running back for Weeks 5 and 8, so he's still eligible for more game-day activation while on the team's practice squad this season. However, Ozigbo will likely see limited usage moving forward after the Broncos also designated running back Mike Boone (ankle) to return from IR on Wednesday.

Broncos' Devine Ozigbo: Signed off practice squad
Rotowire
The Broncos signed Ozigbo from their practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
This move comes as no surprise since Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed Friday that Ozigbo would join the team for the Week 12 contest against Carolina. The Broncos are suddenly thin at running back after Melvin Gordon was waived Monday and Chase Edmonds (ankle) was placed on IR on Tuesday, though Ozigbo may not see much work behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. This is the third week this season that Ozigbo will be active for Denver, but so far he's logged only two offensive snaps and converted one carry into two yards.

Devine Ozigbo: Will be elevated for Week 12
Rotowire
Coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed Friday that Denver intends to elevate Ozigbo from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Ozigbo will join Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack in a new-look Denver backfield that's without Chase Edmonds (ankle) and the recently waived Melvin Gordon. Murray is expected to see the majority of playing time, though the 26-year-old Ozigbo will offer some fresh legs in addition to contributing on special teams.

Devine Ozigbo: Will likely play in Week 12
Rotowire
Ozigbo will likely be elevated from Denver's practice squad and be a part of the running back rotation in Week 12, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Ozigbo is currently on the Broncos' practice squad, but the veteran running back will likely be called up and active for a Week 12 matchup against the Panthers. The 26-year-old would be in line to handle duties behind presumed starter Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. Ozigbo's opportunity in Denver's backfield comes on the heels of Melvin Gordon being waived by the Broncos on Monday. Recent trade acquisition Chase Edmonds is also slated to miss time with a high right-ankle sprain. Despite head coach Nathaniel Hackett's claim that Ozigbo will be a part of the running back rotation in Week 12, he will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with limited opportunities on a struggling offense.
