The Packers signed Strong to a reserve/future contract Monday. Strong signed with Green Bay in September as additional depth at running back, but was unable to appear in a game this season. The 27-year-old will participate in the Packers' offseason activities and compete for a spot on their active roster next season.
Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Strong was brought up to the Packers' active roster Saturday to give the team additional depth in the backfield. However, he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss to the Broncos after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were cleared to play. Strong hasn't played a single regular-season snap despite being elevated from the practice squad three times, and he won't be allowed to play for Green Bay for the rest of 2025 unless he's signed to the active roster.
Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Strong was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but his services are not needed Sunday after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were both cleared to play. Strong has been elevated three times this season, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to play for the Packers for the rest of 2025.
