Summary
The Packers traded a draft pick for Kaleb Johnson, hoping he’d be their answer to a struggling run game — but he barely saw the field in Week 1, sitting out while the Vikings’ defense exploited the lack of a dynamic backfield. With MarShawn Lloyd’s injury history and Chris Brooks’ limited rushing role, Johnson’s power-running profile — highlighted by his 1,500+ yards and 21 TDs at Iowa — seemed tailor-made to help. But with the offensive line failing to protect or open holes, it’s hard to ignore that Johnson’s absence left the Packers vulnerable — and the question remains: why not give him a shot?
