The Green Bay Packers have added depth to their backfield, signing a recent Super Bowl champion ahead of the team’s second preseason game.

Green Bay is among the teams bringing players in for tryouts to evaluate fits for the 53-man roster or practice squad.

Before their first preseason game last weekend, the Packers signed offensive lineman Leticus Smith, who spent part of the 2024 season on the taxi squad.
To make room for Smith on the 90-man roster, Green Bay waived wide receiver Sam Brown.

The Packers’ preseason RB room has been thin at times, with MarShawn Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson dealing with injuries earlier in camp.
The good news: both Lloyd and Wilson returned to practice. Even so, Green Bay wanted another option to carry the rock in August.

Davis-Price (24) was among a group of backs who visited Green Bay on Monday.


Career Snapshot: Tyrion Davis-Price

  • Former 49ers draft pick; most recently with the Tennessee Titans (signed June 2, waived July 17).

  • Spent the 2024 season with the Super Bowl champion Eagles; appeared in one game (3 carries, 7 yards).

  • Logged seven total games over two seasons with San Francisco, tallying 120 rushing yards on 40 carries.

  • College: LSU.

  • The Packers’ RB pecking order appears set with Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson, MarShawn Lloyd, and Chris Brooks leading the way.
    Davis-Price now gets a chance to put tape out in preseason and compete for a practice squad (taxi squad) spot.

    With preseason reps available and recent returns from injury, Green Bay will evaluate how Davis-Price fits in short yardage, early-down work, and special teams. A clean August showing could keep him in the building into September.

    Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
    Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
