Lions add linebacker to active roster.
The Detroit Lions announced a pair of roster moves during their bye week, likely signaling positive news for the offense.
On Thursday, linebacker Trevor Nowaske was signed to the active 53-man roster.
In a corresponding move, running back Devine Ozigbo was waived.
Against the Raiders, Ozigbo played two offensive snaps and seven special teams snaps.
The decision to waive the 27-year-old could signal David Montgomery is close to returning from a rib cartilage injury.

“I don’t know if I can put it into words,” Nowaske said after his preseason debut at Ford Field against the New York Giants. “Such an unreal experience. Being from Canton, honestly being a Lions fan my whole life, and now it’s coming to fruition being on the team, it’s still kind of settling in.”
Being undrafted made it a long shot that he would make the team coming out of training camp.
“I’ve still got a lot of work to do,” Nowaske noted. “I know it’s an uphill battle from here, being undrafted. I’m happy I could go out there and contribute but there’s still a lot more than can be done.”
