Packers Make Surprise Move by Claiming Veteran Running Back—What This Means for the Season Ahead
When the Green Bay Packers dropped a four-year deal on Josh Jacobs last offseason, many of us raised an eyebrow — or two. I mean, the Packers aren’t exactly known for splurging big on free agents, especially running backs. But Jacobs has made every penny count, proving to be one of the NFL’s most durable playmakers. Of course, even the toughest backs need a breather or a little insurance — and that’s where Israel Abanikanda comes in. Recently claimed off waivers from the 49ers, Abanikanda’s arrival has got me wondering: Can this overlooked veteran carve out a role in Green Bay’s crowded backfield? It’s an intriguing chess move for a team clearly keen on keeping their ground game solid — just in case.
