To replace the Messiah, Packers signed RB Chris Brooks to the practice squad.
Brooks went undrafted in 2023 out of BYU and latched on with the Miami Dolphins. In nine games, he carried 19 times for 106 yards (5.6 average). The bulk of that production came in Week 3 against Denver, a 70-20 blowout in which Brooks carried nine times for 66 yards during the fourth quarter. He broke five tackles, gained 65 yards after contact and had a long of 52 yards.
Of his 19 attempts, he had 107 yards after contact and nine broken tackles, according to Pro Football Focus.
“I feel like not getting drafted, I really wouldn’t look at it as a low, I’d say it’s an opportunity,” Brooks said after making the roster last year. “It’s an opportunity that not too many guys have and I can either take advantage of the opportunity or I could just let it go to waste. I chose to take advantage.”
This preseason, Brooks suffered a concussion. With the Dolphins featuring a loaded backfield, he was released with an injury settlement on Monday.
Brooks spent his first four collegiate seasons at California, highlighted by his 914 rushing yards, 22 receptions and 12 total touchdowns as a sophomore.I can't run no more

Dammit. Now the TE room is back to being paler than a Tony O’Day family reunion, more homogeneous than the NHL, lighter than a white dwarf star, purer in the caucasoid blood than the late, great Michael Jackson.Originally posted by CaptainKickass View PostComment

The running back they signed to the PS out of Miami, Chris Brooks, I think is his name, is in the mold of AJ Dillon as far as build. I think he's listed at 6'-2" and 235.
And I'm running off of my crummy senior citizen memory, so I could be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere the last couple days that the Packers also had a fullback on the PS - Andy Beck?
So it seems to me the Packers are looking for someone to be that bruising, fullback-type back, who can block the big boys and maybe gain a couple yards in a short yardage situation."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

So...before contact in his 19 carries he had -1 yard?Originally posted by Joemailman View Post
Blocking must have been atrocious!Comment

Almost as bad. According to PFR, he had two broken tackles last season and 80 yards after contact.

The anti-AJ Dillon?
If Wilson can’t go, could this kid block well enough, know the plays well enough, to be active? Somebody we’ve barely heard of is going to be active for this game."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Probably Ellis Merriweather. He's been a PS guy for the Packers since early last November. Should know the offense better than Lloyd actually. Had an excellent game the last preseason game vs. Ravens.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI can't run no more

It's kinda weird - or seems that way - that in the first game the Packers could be calling up one or two guys from the PS for the game. Clifford, perhaps, and Beck?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Packers have signed former Michigan and Chargers WR Cornelius Johnson to the practice squad. He was drafted by the Chargers in the 7th round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He is a typical Packer WR prospect. 6-3, 212, ran a 4.44 40.
Overview
Johnson was a three-year starter, with all three seasons including action in the College Football Playoff. He's a big, tough target who displayed improvement making the difficult catch in 2023. He has decent speed but is encumbered by ragged route running that fails to hit the mark with footwork or timing. Johnson's play strength and competitiveness can become a problem for smaller cornerbacks when the action heads down the field. He's a chippy run blocker with the potential to become a weapon as a perimeter blocker. Johnson's size and traits will be lauded, but he might need a simpler route tree to be at his best as a pro backup.
Strengths
Very good size with plus athletic traits.
Explosive leaper able to climb the ladder and grab tall throws.
Brought in almost every contested catch in 2023.
Catches into traffic and is a tough runner after the catch.
LOVES to mix it up with defensive backs as chippy run blocker.
Creates opportunities for explosive runs in his direction.
Weaknesses
Routes are disheveled and lacking technique.
Struggles to find the footwork for beating coverage leverage.
Very rounded and gradual getting out of his turns.
Needs to locate the football sooner out of his breaks.
Average hands with a few too many focus drops.

Yep. Tall, leggy guy. Looks willing to run block and play ST. Route-running needs a LOT of work.Packers have signed former Michigan and Chargers WR Cornelius Johnson to the practice squad.
