BREAKING: Green Bay Packers Make Curious Roster Move At RB Amid AJ Dillon Injury Before Cowboys Game
The Green Bay Packers announced a curious decision to cut a veteran running back Friday afternoon after they listed AJ Dillon as questionable to play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Dillon is battling neck and thumb injuries before this weekend’s Packers’ Wild Card game.
The Green Cove Packers cut a veteran RB
Per an assertion by the Packers Friday, the group set veteran running back Kenyan Drake free from the training crew to make space to sign cornerback David Long Jr.:
The Green Sound Packers have marked CB David Long Jr. to the training crew and set RB Kenyan Drake free from the training crew. Head supervisor Brian Gutekunst declared the exchanges Friday.
Long Jr. (5-11, 196), a fifth-year player out of the College of Michigan, rejoins the Packers. He played in three games for Green Cove subsequent to being asserted off waivers from the Carolina Jaguars on Dec. 5. Long was initially chosen by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round (No. 79 generally) of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Packers have one more running back on the training crew, newbie Ellis Merriweather. Assuming Dillon is inert Sunday, the Packers will have Aaron Jones, Patrick Taylor, and Emanuel Wilson on the 53-man list accessible to play the Ranchers.
The Packers needed more depth in the secondary because Eric Stokes was placed on injured reserve and Jaire Alexander might not play after suffering a “freak” injury at practice this week.
