Summary
Packers Running Back Dilemma: Josh Jacobs Backup Situation & Potential Trade for Isaiah Davis The Green Bay Packers are heading into the 2026 season with Josh Jacobs as their main running back for the third consecutive year. However, the depth behind him is uncertain, with no clear number two option yet. The current backups, including Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong Jr., Damien Martinez, and undrafted rookie Jaden Nixon, have not shown enough potential. MarShawn Lloyd, despite his injury issues, is being given another chance. Theres talk of a potential trade move for Isaiah Davis from the New York Jets. Davis, who has been with the Jets for 33 games, has shown promise with 410 rushing yards at 5.6 per carry, 2 scores, and 30 catches for 261 yards and a touchdown. He also excels on special teams with 555 kick return yards at 27.8 per pop. The Jets recently extended Breece Hall, which might make Davis available for a late-round pick. Acquiring Davis could provide the Packers with a versatile running back option without breaking the bank. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
