he Detroit Lions continue their roster shuffle at running back, parting ways with veteran Devine Ozigbo just a few days after signing him to the active roster.
The Lions had signed the 27-year-old ahead of their Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but released him on November 2. As SI.com’s John Maakaron reported, his release could signal that lead running back David Montgomery could be close to returning from a rib injury that has kept him out of the last two games.
Lions Making Moves at Running Back
Ozigbo had been on Detroit’s practice squad but was elevated to appear in two games before being signed to the active roster. He made three appearances total, taking three carries for five yards and making one catch for 8 yards in the team’s October 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As SI.com noted, Ozigbo appeared in two snaps on offense and seven snaps on special teams in Monday’s win over the Raiders.
