For the second straight week, running back Kaleb Johnson has basically been a non-factor in the offense... Snaps were split between Strong and Lloyd again this week, with Johnson getting even fewer looks. Interestingly, head coach Matt LaFleur has recently said that if Pierre Strong Jr., who was dealing with a hamstring issue earlier in the year, was healthy in Week 1, then Strong would have played for the team — despite being a member of the practice squad.

Strong leads backfield snaps; LaFleur prefers him over Johnson.

Pierre Strong Jr. led the Packers backfield in snaps for the second straight week, playing 41 snaps in Week 6 against Dallas after playing 25 in Week 5 against Chicago. Head coach Matt LaFleur recently stated that if Strong, who dealt with a hamstring issue earlier in the year, had been healthy in Week 1, he would have played for the team despite being on the practice squad. The source suggests Strong could be elevated as a game-day replacement when Josh Jacobs is activated, positioning him as the preferred option over Kaleb Johnson.
