Packers Promote Pierre Strong From Practice Squad With Brooks on IR

The Green Bay Packers promoted running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster, adding depth as Chris Brooks deals with an ankle injury and the team manages a thin backfield. Strong, a 2022 fourth-round pick who spent time with the Patriots and Browns, brings NFL experience and familiarity with Green Bay’s offense after spending time with the Packers’ practice squad and training camp. He has totaled 499 rushing yards and 193 receiving yards in his NFL career; whether he will see significant playing time remains uncertain.
