Packers Work Out Kerryon Johnson
3 years agoThe Green Bay Packers worked out former Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson on Tuesday. The Packers are in need of some running back depth with Aaron Jones (knee) expected to miss one to two weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in the Week 10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson was active for one game with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 but played just nine special teams snaps before being cut in early October. If he is signed by Green Bay, he's unlikely to have much of a role besides strictly serving as emergency depth at the position until Jones returns. AJ Dillon will take over lead-back duties for however long Jones is out, and he's a must-add off waivers this week if he's available. Patrick Taylor Jr. is the only other RB on the current active roster.
