Packers Elevate Pierre Strong Jr. Ahead of Week 12 Matchup vs. Vikings

Saturday, November 22, 4:49 PM

The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad to the gameday roster ahead of Sunday's Week 12 matchup against division rival Minnesota Vikings. This is a result of star running back Josh Jacobs (knee) being listed as questionable due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 11 against the New York Giants. Strong being moved to the gameday roster gives the Packers depth at running back, with Jacobs being a true game-time decision. Strong was also elevated earlier in the year in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Jacobs is ruled out, look for Emanuel Wilson to handle the bulk of the carries while Chris Brooks is mixed in. Despite being elevated to the main roster, Strong is a lower-end option in very deep leagues at best for Week 12.

Kene Nwangwu Won't Play in Week 5

Sunday, October 5, 11:30 AM

New York Jets running back Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. This hardly comes as a surprise after Nwangwu missed all three practices earlier this week. The 27-year-old is headed for his fourth consecutive absence, leaving Isaiah Davis in line to handle kick return duties once again.
