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.

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.

    Pittsburgh Steelers Reach Agreement with Safety Shilo Sanders, Pending Medical Evaluation Amid Personal Drama, per source
    The Pittsburgh Steelers are adding intrigue to their practice squad plans, reaching an agreement with safety Shilo Sanders. The deal remains subject to a medical evaluation before it can be made official, leaving his status uncertain. Sanders, son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, brings both pedigree and baggage. Known for his ball-hawking instincts, he also carries a reputation for injuries and personal drama that have followed him throughout his career. Undrafted in 2025, Sanders signed with Tampa Bay and appeared in three preseason games. His stint ended abruptly after an ejection against Buffalo for unnecessary roughness, prompting the Buccaneers to waive him on August 24. Despite the setback, Pittsburgh sees potential value. Sanders collected 161 tackles, 11 interceptions, and six forced fumbles across 41 college games, with his 2023 season at Colorado highlighting his ability to create turnovers and lead a defense. The Steelers’ secondary has dealt with depth concerns, and Sanders’ versatility offers a possible solution. He can rotate at safety, provide nickel coverage, and contribute on special teams — all traits valued in Pittsburgh’s defensive culture. However, health remains the deciding factor. Sanders suffered an ACL tear in 2022 and missed time again in 2024 due to nagging injuries. Team doctors will determine whether his body can withstand NFL competition. Layered over the medical risk is the personal drama surrounding Sanders. Legal battles, financial trouble, and family headlines have raised questions about his focus, but the Steelers have a history of managing strong personalities. For Sanders, joining Pittsburgh would represent another opportunity to reset his NFL path. If he clears medical evaluation, he could find a stable environment to prove he belongs in the league despite the noise around him.
