Packers Add Running Back Amid Jacobs Absence

The Packers remain without Josh Jacobs, who is on the Commissioner’s Exempt List after entering a no-contest plea to misdemeanor charges; the NFL’s separate conduct review has left his return date uncertain and could result in a suspension. Green Bay’s rushing offense has struggled badly, prompting the team to bring running back Damon Bankston back to its practice squad, while Jamaal Williams is reportedly seeking a team after working out for New England. One proposed solution is a hypothetical trade for Tennessee’s Tony Pollard, who could help fill in until Jacobs returns or for the rest of the season, though Green Bay has not made such a move. The Packers have also shown some improvement on the ground, but they still face questions about how to strengthen the position group.
