Strong promoted to 53-man roster; could upgrade struggling backfield if reliable.

Strong was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Thursday, likely due to Brooks' uncertain ankle status; if he can read blocks reasonably well and hold onto the football, he could be an upgrade over the struggling trio of Lloyd, Johnson, and Brooks.
