With Javonte Williams hitting the injured reserve, Ozigbo will provide the Broncos with some extra Week 5 backfield depth behind fellow running backs Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone. He'll also provide the team with another special teams option. 

It remains to be seen how much Ozigbo will really be involved in the team's offense on Thursday though, as Gordon is in line to handle the lead duties. 

For his career, Ozigbo has only rushed 11 times for 25 yards, with 13 receptions for 72 yards.
