Jeremy McNichols In Line for Depth Role in Week 2
Jeremy McNichols chipped in four carries for 25 yards in addition to his usual contributions in pass protection in Week 1 against the Giants. It was a bit of a question going into the game whether McNichols or Chris Rodriguez Jr. would be the third running back active or if the team would activate all four backs. They opted for the veteran McNichols, who is an excellent pass protector and core special teams player. That aligns with their approach last season, as McNichols was active for 17 games and made a real impact. Rodriguez had a great training camp in preseason and could be active for games in the future, but McNichols's role as the third back seems safe headed into Thursday night's matchup against the Packers.
