The Green Bay Packers have a sneaky need at running back, or a not-so-sneaky one, depending on your perspective. Backup Emanuel Wilson left in free agency to join the Seattle Seahawks, and while the Packers re-signed Chris Brooks to a two-year deal, he is more of a blocking back than a ballcarrier. Is this the year MarShawn Lloyd stays healthy? Hopefully.
As for Josh Jacobs, those wheels keep adding mileage. There has been talk that the Packers could release him next year.
What can they do about it this year? Well, they could make do with Brooks and Lloyd and kick the Jacobs can down the road, or they could seize what suddenly looks like a prime opportunity in the 2026 NFL Draft.
