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.
