News

  • Finds new home

    The Steelers signed Igwebuike off the Falcons' practice squad Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike will bring added depth to the Pittsburgh backfield after Anthony McFarland (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday. The 28-year-old likely won't have a regular role on offense but could challenge Gunner Olszewski (concussion) for the top kickoff return job.

  • Back to practice squad

    Igwebuike reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was elevated from the practice squad prior to Atlanta's 25-24 win over the Packers on Sunday, joining the team's active roster for a second straight week. He logged one offensive snap and failed to garner any stats for the second game in a row. Igwebuike will now have to wait for another potential elevation down the road.

  • Elevated by Falcons

    Igwebuike was elevated to the Falcons' active roster Saturday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike has now been called up in consecutive games to start the season. He will be available to provide depth at running back, if needed, but his primary role will be returning kicks. He logged one offensive snap in Week 1 to go along with eight on special teams.

  • Joins Atlanta's practice squad

    Igwebuike signed with Atlanta's practice squad Wednesday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike opened the season on Atlanta's 53-man roster and dressed for the season opener, playing one snap on offense and eight on special teams against the Panthers. He was subsequently waived Monday and has now been brought back into the organization Wednesday. While it remains to be seen whether he's added onto the main roster before Sunday's game against the Packers, there's a good chance Igwebuike will be called upon again at some point this season.

  • Gets cut loose

    Igwebuike was waived by the Falcons on Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was signed from the practice squad for the team's season opener against the Panthers and played eight snaps on special teams. His departure could be a sign that Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is expected to be available Sunday against the Packers. Igwebuike, however, could still ultimately re-sign with the team's practice squad or pursue opportunities elsewhere.

  • Plays primarily on special teams

    Igwebuike played nine snaps (one offensive) and didn't record any counting stats during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: With Cordarrelle Patterson's (thigh) availability up in the air, the Falcons signed Igwebuike to the 53-man roster off the practice squad Saturday. The undrafted rookie out of Northwestern wasn't involved offensively in Week 1, but he showed a willingness to contribute on special teams. As long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are healthy, Igwebuike should remain a non-factor on offense, and he may even head back to the practice squad once Patterson clears his current injury.

  • Signed to 53-man roster

    The Falcons signed Igwebuike to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Panthers, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) questionable, Igwebuike has been promoted to provide depth behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in the backfield. With the latter two expected to carry most of the offensive workload, Igwebuike's most likely path to contribute will presumably be through special teams.

  • Joins Atlanta's practice squad

    Igwebuike signed with the Falcons' practice squad Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was a somewhat surprising cut by the Falcons on Tuesday, but he'll rejoin the organization's practice squad a day later after clearing waivers. If the team needs additional backfield depth at some point in 2023, Igwebuike should be in the mix to join the active roster.

  • Surprise cut by Atlanta

    The Falcons waived Igwebuike on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Given the injury to Cordarrelle Patterson (undisclosed) and Igwebuike's solid preseason -- especially in the first two games when he rushed for 131 yards on 27 carries -- it comes as a surprise that the Falcons would let him go along with rookie UDFA Carlos Washington. Igwebuike played in five games (mostly on special teams) with the Seahawks in 2022 and signed with Atlanta in July to compete for a backfield depth spot. He'll look for a new home once he clears waivers.

  • Frontrunner for No. 3 spot

    Igwebuike rushed four times for four yards and failed to haul in his only target during Friday's preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Igwebuike signed with the Falcons at the end of July, marking his third different team in three years. He impressed during Atlanta's preseason opener versus Miami, tallying 13 rushing attempts for 70 yards and a score. Igwebuike followed that up with 14 rushes for 61 yards versus the Bengals in Week 2 of the preseason but fell flat in the finale. Regardless, given his production through the first two exhibitions, it appears he's surpassed rookie UDFA Carlos Washington on the depth chart, which…read more

  • Leading rusher in preseason win

    Igwebuike carried the ball 13 times for a game-high 70 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: He opened the scoring in the second quarter on an 11-yard touchdown run, and it was the only offensive TD for either team in a sluggish 19-3 contest. Igwebuike has bounced around the NFL since 2018, seeing action in five games last season with the Seahawks. While he's unlikely to find much of a role on offense in a Falcons' backfield that already features first-round pick Bijan Robinson plus holdovers Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson, his special-teams experience could still earn him a…read more

  • Finds new home

    Igwebuike signed a contract with the Falcons on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPNreports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike appeared in five games with the Seahawks last season and gained four yards on three carries, but he is more notably known for his work on special teams. He generated 308 yards on 11 kickoff returns and 697 yards on 28 punt returns with the Lions in 2021. He'll likely be competing for a similar role with Atlanta during training camp and preseason.

  • Effective kick returner

    Igwebuike rushed three times for four yards and caught his lone target for three yards over five regular-season games in 2022.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was called up from the practice squad after a slew of injuries to Seattle's backfield. While Igwebuike barely played on offense, he was solid as a kick returner with 308 yards on 11 returns, including a 50-yard return. Igwebuike will aim to make it on a roster in 2023 with his special-teams skills.

  • On active roster

    Igwebuike was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Monday.

    Analysis: Igwebuike first reverted to the practice squad, but he was then signed to the active roster shortly thereafter. The 28-year-old has played 51 special-teams snaps with the Seahawks to date, and he now joins the active roster to likely act in a similar role. He's tallied 18 total carries in his career dating back to 2018.

  • Bumped up from practice squad again

    The Seahawks elevated Igwebuike to the active roster from the practice squad Friday ahead of Saturday's matchup against Kansas City, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike has been elevated to the active roster for a third straight week. He played primarily on special teams in his first two appearances and figures to garner a similar role in Week 16.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Igwebuike reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was elevated to the active roster ahead of Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers and suited up for the second consecutive game. He played exclusively on special teams and racked up 83 yards on kick returns. Igwebuike also chipped in an assisted tackle on kick coverage.

  • Bumped up from practice squad

    The Seahawks elevated Igwebuike to the active roster ahead of Thursday Night Football against San Francisco.

    Analysis: Igwebuike spent the season on and off Seattle's practice squad before being elevated for the first time ahead of Sunday's loss to Carolina. The 28-year-old then wound up only playing 14 special-team's snaps in the contest, as Travis Homer and Tony Jones filled in on offense with Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) both sidelined. With Walker set to return Thursday against the 49ers, Igwebuike doesn't figure to see any additional opportunities on offense Week 15.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Igwebuike reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Igwebuike received the elevation for Sunday's loss to the Panthers with Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas both out due to ankle injuries. However, the 28-year-old saw no snaps on offense, as Travis Homer and Tony Jones handled all of the snaps at running back. Igwebuike did handle kick-return duties though, netting 104 yards on three runbacks.

  • Available Sunday vs. Carolina

    Seattle elevated Igwebuike from its practice squad Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With both Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, the Seahawks will bring aboard Igwebuike to add some depth at running back. The transaction likely indicates that the Seahawks are anticipating at least one of Walker or Dallas to be inactive. If that's the case, Igwebuike would likely dress Sunday, though he may only be in store for a limited role. During the 2021 season, Igwebuike took 18 carries for 118 yards and a…read more

    The Seahawks signed Igwebuike to their practice squad Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Seattle cut Igwebuike from its practice squad just two weeks ago, but he gets another chance to make an impression on Seahawks coaches. Barring some injuries on the active roster, though, it's unlikely the 28-year-old halfback will be elevated any time soon.

  • Cut loose from practice squad

    The Seahawks cut Igwebuike from their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Igwebuike joined Seattle's practice squad in late September after spending the 2022 offseason with the Lions. However, the Seahawks parted ways with the 212-pound running back on Tuesday, leaving him on the hunt for another team.

    Igwebuike was signed to Seattle's practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike spent last season and this year's training camp with the Lions, but he was unable to make the team. His addition to the practice squad comes as Travis Homer is dealing with bruised ribs, which he suffered in the Seahawks' 27-23 loss to the Falcons.

  • Waived by Detroit

    The Lions waived Igwebuike on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Earning his keep on special teams, Igwebuike appeared in every game for the Lions last year and rushed 18 times for 118 yards and a touchdown while securing seven of 10 targets for 60 yards. It is not immediately clear who Detroit plans to have at kick returner in his place.

  • Finds end zone

    Igwebuike rushed seven times for 32 yards with one touchdown during Saturday's preseason win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was the fourth running back to rotate in behind Craig Reynolds, Justin Jackson and Jermar Jefferson. The one advantage that the converted safety may have over these guys is Igwebuike's ability on special teams, but that may not be enough for a roster spot this year.

  • Signs tender with Detroit

    Igwebuike signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Lions on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Igwebuike will be back for his second season with Detroit and his fourth NFL season overall. The reserve running back appeared in all 17 games for the Lions last season, tallying 18 rushes for 118 yards and one touchdown while adding seven catches for 60 yards, but he made his biggest impact as the team's primary kick returner with 697 return yards. Igwebuike should reprise that role next season but will look to eliminate his turnovers after fumbling twice in 2021.

  • Fails to catch pass on fake punt

    Igwebuike was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Breaking a nine-game streak of seeing time on offense, Igwebuike didn't log any offensive snaps and his one opportunity to catch a pass came on a fake punt. The special-teamer will thus finish the 2021 campaign with 18 carries for 118 rushing yards and one touchdown along with seven catches on 10 targets for 60 receiving yards. While his stats may not jump off the page, it was largely a successful season for the converted safety who transitioned to running back during the offseason. Igwebuike…read more

  • Little contribution to big win

    Igwebuike gained no yards and lost one fumble on two carries while catching two of two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: While Igwebuike (nine offensive snaps) saw more playing time than Jermar Jefferson (six), both watched as Craig Reynolds (42) reached triple-digit rushing yards on 26 carries. With Jamaal Williams now off the reserve/COVID-19 list and D'Andre Swift slated to test his shoulder in practice this week, Igwebuike's role only stands to diminish as the health of his teammates improve.

  • Just eight carries in spot start

    Igwebuike rushed eight times for 25 yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to Denver

    Analysis: Igwebuike seemed to be in store for a large role -- particularly as a receiver -- in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19), especially with Jermar Jefferson hobbled by the flu plus an ankle injury. While Igwebuike got the starting nod, Detroit didn't target any running backs in the passing game before the final drive despite trailing for the majority of the game. Making matters worse was that a large amount of garbage time allowed him to ultimately be…read more

  • Taking on key role this week

    Igwebuike, Jermar Jefferson and practice-squad player Craig Reynolds appear to be the Lions' three backfield options for Sunday's game in Denver, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: D'Andre Swift (shoulder) has been ruled out and Jamaal Williams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday. Last week, Igwebuike got most of the passing-down work in a 29-27 win over the Vikings, though his 39 percent snap share led to only two carries and two targets, while Williams took 17 carries for 71 yards (on 47 percent snap share) and Jefferson got five carries and one target on 11 percent of snaps. That arguably hints at Jefferson being the lead runner Sunday while Igwebuike gets…read more

  • Three touches sans Swift

    Igwebuike rushed twice for eight yards while catching one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Igwebuike saw an uptick in offensive snaps with D'Andre Swift (shoulder) sidelined, but he didn't do much before the final minutes of the game. He'll remain irrelevant in most fantasy formats even if Swift remains sidelined in Week 14 against Denver.

  • Role shrinks in Williams' return

    Igwebuike caught his only target for negative four yards during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Despite the absence of Jermar Jefferson (ankle/knee), the return of No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams kept Igwebuike in a tertiary role. As long as Williams and D'Andre Swift maintain their health, the converted safety won't be seeing much, if any, offensive work on game days.

  • Makes most of opportunity

    Igwebuike rushed the ball twice for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was elevated up the depth chart as Jamaal Williams (thigh) was forced to miss another game and Jermar Jefferson (ankle) exited Sunday's contest in the first half. Though that largely benefited D'Andre Swift -- he saw a career-high 33 carries -- Igwebuike found the end zone on a 42-yard rush on the Lions' first drive of the second half. Pending the health of both Williams and Jefferson, Igwebuike could serve as a change-of-pace back for a Week 11 matchup against Cleveland.

  • Totals 58 yards in Williams' stead

    Igwebuike rushed three times for 18 yards while catching three of three targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 44-6 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Igwebuike saw his first offensive snaps of the season thanks to the absence of Jamaal Williams (groin). The converted safety looked good doing it, too, in addition to having his best day as a kick returner. However, with Williams having a Week 9 bye to recover, it's possible Igwebuike is banished back to special-teams-only status when Detroit travels to Pittsburgh in Week 10.

  • No offensive snaps

    Igwebuike logged 19 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: The converted safety didn't see any snaps on offense. Instead, Igwebuike filled multiple roles on special teams where his biggest impact came at kick returner.

  • Secures roster spot

    Igwebuike secured a spot on the Lions' initial 53-man roster, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The converted safety apparently showed enough promise to make the team over Dedrick Mills and Craig Reynolds. While Igwebuike won't see many touches on offense unless Jamaal Williams or Jermar Jefferson joins D'Andre Swift (groin) on the injury report, Igwebuike should contribute on special teams right away.

  • Scores again

    Igwebuike rushed seven times for 25 yards and one touchdown during Friday's preseason loss to the Colts. He also gained 90 yards on three kickoff returns.

    Analysis: Continuing to improve as a running back after converting from safety this offseason, Igwebuike seems to be making a solid case for a potential No. 4 job at running back behind D'Andre Swift (groin), Jamaal Williams and Jermar Jefferson. It helps that he fared better as a kick returner than Craig Reynolds (24 yards on one return) did.

  • Finds end zone

    Igwebuike rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for four yards during Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Igwebuike was bottled up on most of his attempts, but he showed some burst on an eight-yard touchdown run to start the fourth quarter. With each of D'Andre Swift (groin), Jamaal Williams and Jermar Jefferson likely to be rested during Detroit's preseason finale Friday against the Colts, the converted safety could see even more work on the ground alongside Dedrick Mills and Craig Reynolds.

  • Switching to running back

    Igwebuike is being moved to running back during the start of training camp, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: After bouncing around the league as a safety since going undrafted in 2018, Igwebuike is not only getting a look at running back but kick returner as well. However, the Northwestern product is buried on the depth chart at both positions and Igwebuike remains a long shot to make the final roster out of training camp.
