The Colts waived Borghi on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

The Colts signed the Washington State product as an undrafted free agent earlier this month. However, with Indianapolis adding veteran Phillip Lindsay to their backfield mix Tuesday, the rookie was deemed expendable. Borghi displayed a versatile skill set in college, but he appears to be a long shot to stick on an NFL roster ahead of Week 1.

Mostert (knee) is expected to be ready for Week 1, though the Dolphins plan to be cautious with him this offseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

In other words, Mostert won't participate in spring practices, which was probably to be expected. He played only nine games over the past two seasons, with his most recent health issue being chipped cartilage in his knee that required October surgery to address. The 30-year-old is part of a rebuilt, veteran backfield that also added Chase Edmonds and Sony Michel this offseason, while Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed are returning players of note. Mostert should compete for carries on early downs once he's healthy.

Ozigbo signed with the Saints on Monday.

Ozigbo was waived by the Patriots on May 2 and now will join the Saints, who originally signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska in 2019. Over the past four seasons, Ozigbo has appeared in 21 games for the Jaguars and Saints, recording 11 carries for 31 yards.

McCormick has signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

McCormick is coming off a record-setting career with UTSA, including 3,939 career rushing yards and 34 rushing touchdowns. The 5-foot-9 running back is one of three rookie ball carriers along with Zamir White and Brittain Brown to join the Raiders this offseason. McCormick likely will compete with Brown as well as veterans Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah for a depth role this offseason.

Verdell signed as an undrafted free agent with Indianapolis on Friday, JJ Stankevitz of NFL.com reports.

Verdell was one of 22 undrafted free-agent signings for the Colts this offseason, including two additional running backs. The Oregon product registered just 143 carries over his final two collegiate seasons but converted these limited attempts into nine rushing touchdowns over 10 games. Verdell likely will compete against Deon Jackson and fellow UDFAs D'Vonte Price and Max Borghi for the Colts' third running back spot heading into the 2022 regular season.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Elliot (knee) "looks great" during Dallas' offseason workouts, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Elliot played through a partially torn PCL during the 2021 campaign, but he's expected to be fully healthy by training camp. McCarthy added that the veteran running back was clocked at 22 MPH during a workout Tuesday, but the team hasn't been doing any contact drills. After struggling the last two years, a healthy offseason could bode well for a potential bounce-back season from Elliott in 2022.

Gaskin has further competition for backfield snaps following the Dolphins' signing of Sony Michel, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

The Dolphins previously added Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert (knee) this offseason, while fellow returnee Salvon Ahmed received a contract tender from the team. Collectively, the moves provide first-year coach Mike McDaniel with a deep backfield with which to work, but in terms of Gaskin's fantasy prospects, steady volume figures to be an issue when all the key RB cogs are available. The 25-year-old led Miami with 173 carries (for 612 yards) in 17 games last season while adding 49 catches for 234 yards and recording seven total TDs in that span.

The Ravens have withdrawn their one-year contract tender previously extended to Williams, making him a free agent, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Williams becomes a free agent after just one season with the Ravens in which he tallied 35 carries for 185 yards and one touchdown over 13 games. The second-year running back will turn 26 years old at the start of this coming season and was likely crowded out of Baltimore's running back room due to the drafting of Missouri running back Tyler Badie and addition of free agent Mike Davis. Williams will likely look to sign with a new active roster or possibly a team's practice squad, where he can compete for running back reps heading into the regular season.

Spiller profiles as the front-runner for the Chargers' No. 2 running back job behind starter Austin Ekeler, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

With last year's top backup Justin Jackson not having been re-signed, there's a path for Spiller to claim the No. 2 role behind Ekeler. To do so, the Texas A&M product will have to beat out both Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree, but that's a plausible outcome, given that Spiller -- who the Chargers list at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds -- supplements his physical and elusive running style with solid enough hands to contribute as a pass-catcher. As long as Ekeler remains healthy, Spiller -- who is bouncing back from a strained adductor muscle -- may not see steady volume, but if he indeed slots in ahead of Kelley and Rountree, the 2022 fourth-rounder would be a candidate to see an uptick in fantasy value in the event that Ekeler misses time for any reason.

The Jets signed Knight as an undrafted free agent Friday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Knight appeared in 12 games at NC State last year and rushed 140 times for 753 yards and three touchdowns while securing 21 of 25 targets for 156 yards. He'll compete for a role with the Jets in 2022, and he could be a candidate to serve as a returner in the NFL.
