Ogunbowale (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leonard Fournette and Ogunbowale essentially swapped franchises earlier this month, as the former landed in Tampa Bay while the latter headed to Jacksonville after they were waived by the respective organizations. Unlike Fournette before him in Jacksonville, Ogunbowale won't be in line for nearly as substantial of a role, with most of the reps he earns coming in obvious passing situations. So long as Chris Thompson is healthy and available, however, Ogunbowale may become a fixture on the inactive list, as he's somewhat redundant as a second pass-catching back.

Ogunbowale has officially been signed to Jacksonville's active roster, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale was the odd man out in Tampa Bay following the acquisition of Leonard Fournette, but he'll end up catching on with Fournette's old team less than a week after he was cut. The Jacksonville backfield was in dire need of assistance, as Ryquell Armstead remains on the COVID list, and the team placed Devine Ogzigbo (hamstring) on the injured reserve early Thursday morning. It's unclear what type of role Ogunbowale will have Week 1 against Indianapolis, as his skill set mostly mirrors that of current projected No. 2 back Chris Thompson. Ogunbowale also saw regular work on special teams last season as a member of the Bucs.

The Jaguars are on track to sign Ogunbowale, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the move happens as expected, Ogunbowale would provide the team with added backfield/special-teams depth. Ogunbowale carved out a third-down role with the Bucs last season, and it's possible that he could earn touches in Jacksonville's brewing backfield committee once he's up to speed with the team's offense.

The Buccaneers will waive Ogunbowale, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale appeared destined for a change-of-pace/special-teams role with the Bucs, but the team's recent addition of Leonard Fournette made him the odd man out, with Ronald Jones, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and LeSean McCoy also in the mix. It remains to be seen if Ogunbowale catches on with another team in short order or circles back with Tampa Bay once the ongoing league-wide roster trimming settles down.

Ogunbowale's special teams value could keep him on the roster even after the Buccaneers signed Leonard Fournette, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fournette, Ronald Jones and third-round rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn are roster locks, and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests LeSean McCoy is still expected to have a role, potentially handling the passing-down work that went to Ogunbowale last season. It's rare for a team to carry five running backs, but it wouldn't be an unreasonable choice if Vaughn is starting the season as a healthy scratch and Ogunbowale is taking snaps on multiple special teams units.

Ogunbowale, who is part of a crowded running back depth chart, is trusted by the coaching staff to handle a variety of responsibilities and isn't intimidated by the competition, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports. "That's kind of the way I've been, the story of my career," Ogunbowale said Sunday. "I've always been in competition. That's the way it's always been. I see everything as a competition. Us bringing in more running backs, that's just more people to compete with. Even before that, I had competition on my mind."

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale's pass-catching skills were on display last season when he evolved into the primary third-down back, as he secured 35 of 46 targets for 286 yards. However, that was far from Ogunbowale's only role, as he also carried 11 times, recorded a pair of rushing touchdowns, amassed 223 kick-return yards and logged 317 special-teams snaps overall as one of the captains of the unit. The multiple responsibilities clearly speak to how much trust the coaching staff has in Ogunbowale, but he's facing some talented competition in the form of seventh-round rookie Raymond Calais, who brings a distinguished resume as a returner from his college career at Louisiana-Lafayette. Additionally, Ogunbowale faces an uphill battle to see as many receiving opportunities in 2020, considering LeSean McCoy and his 503 career receptions arrived earlier this offseason.

Ogunbowale was one of several Buccaneers skill players to participate in a workout with Tom Brady at Berkeley Preparatory School on Tuesday, Rick Stroud and Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times report.

EDGE Analysis

The Wisconsin product managed to carve out a steady third-down role in what was his second Buccaneers campaign in 2019, leading to a career-best 35 receptions and 286 receiving yards, as well as a pair of rushing touchdowns. With Brady's extensive history of success with pass-catching backs, it certainly behooves Ogunbowale to get as much on-field time with his new quarterback, especially during an offseason where traditional OTAs aren't an option. Additionally, Ogunbowale projects to face fierce competition for playing time -- and by extension, his roster spot -- from rookies Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Raymond Calais this summer, so it's unsurprising to see him taking the initiative of participating in any workout organized by the future Hall of Fame signal-caller.

Ogunbowale finished the 2019 season with 11 carries for 17 yards and two touchdowns, 35 receptions (46 targets) for 286 yards and 223 kickoff return yards across 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

Ironically, the talented receiving back wasn't targeted in the Week 17 overtime loss to the Falcons, the first such instance during 2019. However, Ogunbowale was successful in the third-down role throughout the season, logging multiple receptions in 10 games overall. The third-year pro also was a solid presence in the return game when called upon, although he appeared to lose that role to T.J. Logan for several weeks until the latter was put on injured reserve with a thumb injury leading up to Week 14. With Peyton Barber headed into unrestricted free agency and Ogunbowale on the books for a bargain cost of $585,000 in 2020, the latter could have an opportunity to secure a bigger role behind Ronald Jones in training camp and preseason next summer.

Ogunbowale secured three of five targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday. He also returned five kickoffs for 74 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale filled his usual complementary role, notching multiple receptions for the third time in the last four games and seeing five targets for the second time in three contests. The story on Ogunbowale is largely unchanged week in, week out -- he'll log the occasional carry or two but sees much more of a consistent, albeit modest, workload in the passing game.

Ogunbowale rushed once for three yards and secured his only target for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 43 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale filled his usual change-of-pace role, but with the Buccaneers enjoying a rather rare comfortable lead from the second quarter onward, he wasn't as involved as in recent weeks. He also continued filling the primary kickoff returner role with T.J. Logan (thumb) on injured reserve and should see varying levels of modest activity over the final two games of the campaign.
