RB Chris Brooks Out of Practice, Packers Sign Pierre Strong to 53-Man Roster
Pierre Strong Jr. adds NFL experience and kickoff-return ability as Chris Brooks remains questionable after missing two practices with an ankle injury.
- On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers signed running back Pierre Strong Jr. to the active roster, adding depth to the backfield as Chris Brooks deals with an ankle injury.
- Brooks sustained an ankle injury during the October 4 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has missed two consecutive practices, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears uncertain.
- Strong, a 5-foot-11, 207-pound running back, brings experience from his 2022 stint with the New England Patriots and 2023 to 2024 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He has rushed 99 times for 499 yards and two touchdowns.
- By signing Strong to the active roster, Green Bay secured him to prevent other teams from acquiring him. He provides a familiar option, having been in the system since September 2025.
- With the Packers owning the lowest-ranked rushing attack in the NFL, Strong's addition is particularly relevant. His experience offers a boost ahead of the divisional matchup against Chicago.
