Packers Trade for Kaleb Johnson | Green Bay Packers News

Packers pull off a savvy, low-risk move by trading for Kaleb Johnson—former Steelers third-rounder and Iowa standout—to fill the void left by Josh Jacobs, who’s now sidelined on the commissioner’s exempt list. Johnson, a big, straight-ahead runner with solid college tape but unproven pro skills, joins a crowded backfield that includes MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks.

While Johnson can’t replace Jacobs’ explosive impact, this gamble could provide crucial depth as Green Bay navigates the uncertainty surrounding their star running back’s legal troubles.
