Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers placed running back Chris Brooks on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, sidelining him for at least four games, with eligibility to return in Week 9 against the New England Patriots.
- Pierre Strong Jr. was promoted from the practice squad to fill Brooks' role in the running back rotation, which also includes MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson.
- Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner’s exempt list as the NFL continues to decide on his suspension status, keeping him out of the Packers' active roster for now.
- The Packers currently have an open spot on their 53-man roster and have started practicing receiver Savion Williams, who is expected to return from injured reserve soon, possibly being activated by Week 6.
