Published:
Former Nebraska running back Devine Ozigbo will play tonight for the Denver Broncos after Latavius Murray was declared inactive. The Broncos recently signed Murray, but he will be inactive after a brief turnaround from travelling to London last week for New Orleans.
The Broncos are also looking to replace the production of Javonte Williams, who was recently decaled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Ozigbo will likely get some decent action for the Broncos Thursday night.

Ozigbo was a strong runner in college at Nebraska. He totaled 2,196 yards and 21 touchdowns across his 4-year Huskers career. He went undrafted in 2019 to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
