Packers Sign RB Who Just Won SB Ring Before 2nd Preseason Game

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.

    Bears Could Get Huge Boost to Pass Rush for ‘MNF’ vs. Commanders
    Bears defensive end Austin Booker could return in Week 6. The Chicago Bears could receive a significant boost to their pass rush when they take on the Washington Commanders for Monday Night Football in Week 6. The Bears are now eligible to designate second-year defensive end Austin Booker for return from the injured reserve list after he missed the first four games of the season. Booker had shone in the preseason and seemed the likely choice to serve as the Bears‘ top rotational pass rusher behind veterans Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo coming into the 2025 season, but he suffered a knee injury in August that forced the team to place him on the short-term injured reserve list after the 53-man roster cutdown.

Do You Do It?   Brain Defender Dementia & Memory Loss Have Been Linked To This Habit. You Do It?   Brain Journal While the Bears have not laid out an expected return timeline for Booker, they will have the option of designating him for return to practice in Week 6 if they feel he has made enough progress in his injury recovery. Once the Bears designate him for return, they will have 21 days to activate him to the roster or else must leave him on IR for the year. The Bears could provide clues to Booker’s status when they hold their first practice of the week on Wednesday and issue their first injury report for Sunday’s prime-time date with the Commanders. They would need to activate Booker by Saturday afternoon at the latest for him to have a chance of suiting up for them on Monday Night Football. The Bears (2-2) will take on the Commanders (3-2) at 8:15 p.m. ET next Monday.
