Latest

Pierre Strong Jr.’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. Green Bay signed him to the active roster from its practice squad on Oct. 8, 2026; he is a fourth-year back out of South Dakota State, taken in the fourth round of the 2022 draft by New England, and has played 46 games for the Patriots and Browns (Packers.com).

He is the reason this page exists in Week 10: with Josh Jacobs Out out after fracturing a finger in the first quarter at New England on Nov. 8, Strong took 8 carries for 22 yards while Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown (Forbes). Strong is Green Bay’s No. 2 running back in our depth data, behind Jacobs and ahead of Johnson, which is why he is worth a look even though Johnson got the bigger share of the carries.

Fantasy Action: A deep-league add only while Jacobs recovers, with RotoWire pairing him and Johnson as a committee rather than naming a lead back. Bid 1–4% of a FAAB budget and treat him as a bench stash; see our deeper waiver wire adds for where he ranks this week.
