Pierre Strong Jr. News
Saturday, December 13, 2:27 PM
The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With top Green Bay running backs Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) both questionable for Sunday, the Packers could be forced to turn to Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks in the backfield. The 27-year-old Strong Jr. has yet to appear in a game so far in 2025. Across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, he recorded 212 scrimmage yards on 40 touches. Brooks has just 66 total carries across 37 career NFL games, so it's unclear who Green Bay would turn to as the lead back if both Jacobs and Wilson are out. Fantasy managers may want to stash Strong Jr. off the waiver wire just in case he finds himself in a prominent role come game time on Sunday.

Terrell Jennings News
Tuesday, July 21, 4:20 PM
New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings (undisclosed) will open training camp on the Non-Football Injury list, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. It means that Jennings will not be cleared to practice early in camp, but he can be activated at any time. It's not great news for Jennings, who will be competing with rookies Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery, and Lan Larison for the RB3 role this summer behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. The 25-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Florida A&M has had a small role in New England's backfield in his first two years in the league, combining for 36 rushing attempts, 106 yards, and one touchdown in just 10 games played in 2024 and 2025, adding one reception for nine yards last year. The longer Jennings takes to get cleared for camp and the preseason, the more of a long shot he'll be to win RB3 duties in the Patriots' backfield in 2026.
