From the article

Pierre Strong Jr., the Packers' fourth back, had been taking on Brooks' snaps while he was out of practice. Maybe Strong playing on the punt team and giving Green Bay a little more running back depth going into the season, along with giving Williams a rest instead of having to run 40 yards before a defensive drive, could earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. If this continues, Strong might have a better chance of sticking on the roster than we initially thought.

Strong earning roster consideration via special teams depth and punt team role.

The Packers' fourth back had been taking on Chris Brooks' snaps while he was out of practice; now playing on the punt team as a wing. Playing on the punt team and giving Green Bay a little more running back depth going into the season, along with giving Evan Williams a rest instead of having to run 40 yards before a defensive drive, could earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. He's mostly been a practice squadder in his time with the Packers, but if this continues, Strong might have a better chance of sticking on the roster than initially thought.
