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.

    Packers Rookie Cornerback Gets a Fan Meeting Organized by His Mother Despite Not Having Played a Single Game for the Team
    GREEN BAY — On Sunday night, a community center near Lambeau filled up with green and gold. No sponsor banners—just a small stage, a few rows of folding chairs, an autograph table, and a long line of No. 26 jerseys waiting for signatures. The person who arranged everything was the mother of Micah Robinson—the Green Bay Packers’ rookie cornerback, a 2025 seventh-round pick at No. 237. “You may not have seen him on TV yet, but I’ve watched him for 23 years,” she said, clutching the game jersey. “My son is this team’s HIDDEN GEM. He deserves a chance—and when it comes, he’ll grab it with both hands.” The fan meeting lasted a bit over an hour: photos, jersey signings, and a short Q&A. On the display table were a few college mementos—a photo of Robinson from his transfer from Furman to Tulane, a notebook full of film-study notes, and a faded wristband from his Second-team All-AAC 2024 season. A team media staffer  offered a brief comment after the event: “We appreciate the family’s support. Personnel decisions are based on tactical needs and practice performance—and Micah is trending in the right direction.” On social media, some argued that holding a fan meeting when a player hasn’t logged meaningful snaps is “a little early.” But his mother smiled and answered right into the mic: “I’m not here to ‘demand a spot’ for my son. I’m here to remind him—and everyone—that dreams don’t wait until you’re called on television. Dreams begin the day you dare to believe you’re good enough.” Robinson offered just one line before slipping backstage: “I’ll let the work speak for itself.” Quick scouting note: Robinson brings a “speed + discipline” CB profile: a 4.42-second 40-yard at pro day; over his last three NCAA seasons he recorded 7 INT and 13 PD, showing ball skills and strong zone reactions. He fits special teams/CB depth right away and could crack sub-packages if he keeps stacking standout practices.
