On Monday, the Green Bay Packers brought in three running backs, Tyrion Davis-Price, Micah Bernard and Kylin James, for workouts<\/a>. The Packers made the decision to add Davis-Price, who is in practice in Green Bay on Tuesday, amid some injury questions at the position.<\/p>\n

Emanuel Wilson and MarShawn Lloyd only returned to practice on Monday from prior injuries, which means they might not be fully recovered in time for the joint practice or preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts this week. On top of that, Jalen White was injured in the Packers\u2019 preseason opener against the New York Jets, and Israel Abanikanda injured his hamstring in practice on Monday.<\/p>\n

So, Green Bay\u2019s only fully-healthy running backs right now are Josh Jacobs, who the team is hoping to rest in this week\u2019s preseason game, Chris Brooks, Amar Johnson and now Davis-Price. Hence, the signing.<\/p>\n

Davis-Price is a very interesting prospect. During the draft process, he was considered to be a borderline draftable player. Instead, the San Francisco 49ers took him in the top-100 selections of the 2023 draft, only to trade for Christian McCaffrey in October of Davis-Price\u2019s rookie year.<\/p>\n

The LSU product, who was the number two back on the national title team and then developed into a two-year starter after that, has played eight total regular-season games over three seasons with the 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. He\u2019s turned 43 carries into 127 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and hasn\u2019t scored a touchdown yet. He also has not caught a ball at the NFL level.<\/p>\n

Despite going into his fourth professional season, though, Davis-Price is only 24 years old. Depending on the status of Wilson, Lloyd and Abanikanda, we could see a lot from Davis-Price against the Colts on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Monday, the Green Bay Packers brought in three running backs, Tyrion Davis-Price, Micah Bernard and Kylin James,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,2703,26258,2702,20822,2704,20821,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-282976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-green-bay-packers-depth-chart","10":"tag-green-bay-packers-injuries","11":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","12":"tag-green-bay-packers-preseason","13":"tag-green-bay-packers-roster","14":"tag-green-bay-packers-training-camp","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115017540363607580","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
