GREEN BAY − In preparation for their upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers have made a strategic move by elevating running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster. This decision comes in light of Josh Jacobs’ uncertain status for the game, as he is currently listed as questionable due to a knee injury and is considered a game-time decision.
This marks the second time this season that Strong has been elevated to the active roster, having previously done so before the Packers’ matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, although he remained inactive for that game. Should Jacobs be unable to play, Strong will become a crucial addition to the backfield, joining Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks as options for the Packers’ running game.
Additionally, linebacker Jamon Johnson has also been elevated from the practice squad, marking his first appearance on the active roster this season. This move highlights the Packers’ commitment to bolstering their roster depth as they prepare for a critical game against a divisional rival.
As the Packers navigate these roster adjustments, fans remain hopeful that Jacobs can recover in time to contribute to the team’s efforts on the field. The elevation of both Strong and Johnson signals the Packers’ proactive approach to ensuring they remain competitive, regardless of game-day developments.
