Obviously a 2-word answer and not definitive - there’s a distinct possibility (maybe even favored to happen?) that Kaleb Johnson is inactive for a few games with Pierre Strong active in his place If you are drafting Kaleb you should be patient via @​mikespofford

Marshawn Lloyd will likely be the lead back (as expected) for WK1 per @​cheeseheadtv They also believe Pierre Strong will get touches (a lot) I think they are tempering Lloyd expectations a bit given injury history Then Chris Brooks will also factor in Seems like they are unsure if Kaleb Johnson is active WK1, which can obviously change over time Makes me feel like I’d rather let him go undrafted - I’m sure at some point that changes but the fact that it’s a question makes me wonder if he’d e...

Strong demonstrated elite agility and big-play ability in the Packers' preseason game against Denver, averaging 4.6 yards per carry on eight carries and ripping off a 68-yard kickoff return. The source prefers Strong over Marshawn Lloyd as the potential 'lightning' to Josh Jacobs' thunder, citing Strong as the better athlete despite his small size; Strong has also been more durable than Lloyd. Strong's draft pedigree includes 240 carries for 1,686 yards and 18 touchdowns in his final season at South Dakota State, and he has averaged 4.5 yards per carry and 8 yards per reception during his NFL career, showing respectable efficiency and big-play ability.

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.
