the Packers traded for former Iowa and Pittsburgh Steeler running back Kaleb Johnson. He should back up MarShawn Lloyd as Green Bay's number two ball-carrying option while Jacobs is out. He's hoping to rebound with the Packers and their return to the outside zone scheme, which he ran frequently at the college level.

Johnson acquired to back up Lloyd; fits Packers' outside zone scheme from college.

Traded for at the cutdown deadline to back up MarShawn Lloyd as Green Bay's number two ball-carrying option; Johnson was the 55th overall player in his draft class but had early struggles in Pittsburgh and fell down the depth chart. He's hoping to rebound with the Packers' return to the outside zone scheme, which he ran frequently at the college level under Tim Lester, who now serves as a senior the source for Green Bay.
