Packers Elevate Pierre Strong Jr. Ahead of Week 12 Matchup vs. Vikings
The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad to the gameday roster ahead of Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. This is a result of star running back Josh Jacobs (knee) being listed as questionable due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 11 against the New York Giants. Strong being moved to the gameday roster gives the Packers depth at running back, with Jacobs being a true game-time decision. Strong was also elevated earlier in the year in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Jacobs is ruled out, look for Emanuel Wilson to handle the bulk of the carries while Chris Brooks is mixed in. Despite being elevated to the main roster, Strong is a lower-end option in very deep leagues at best for Week 12.
