The Green Bay Packers had a fantastic backup situation at running back in recent years thanks to Emanuel Wilson, who proved to be a strong No. 2 behind starting running back Josh Jacobs.
However, Wilson was not brought back this offseason and is now with the Seattle Seahawks, which leaves an uncertain situation behind Jacobs, something that's a problem because Jacobs has missed games in two of the past three seasons.
If nothing changes, the Packers could be relying on unproven players like Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd, and veteran to back Jacobs up.

Those options aren't good enough for Pro Football & Sports Network's Jacob Infante, who predicts the Packers will sign four-time 1,000-yard running back Najee Harris in free agency.
After his 2025 season, there are more questions than answers about Najee Harris’ NFL future. He played only three games with the Chargers due to injury, and he turned 28 in March. He shouldn’t be expected to take on the workload he did in Pittsburgh earlier in his career, but he should still be effective for depth as a power back.
2026 Predicted Team: Green Bay Packers
Harris crossed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground in each of his four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers before moving on to play for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025.
Harris saw his season end early due to a torn Achilles but now appears to be healthy and ready to return to action in 2026 after posting workout videos on social media.
The veteran rusher would be a strong option for Green Bay given his versatility as a solid pass-catcher and blocker, and we know he can handle a big workload on the ground if necessary after doing so in Pittsburgh.
Because he's coming off a significant injury, Harris should be cheap in free agency, which is right up Green Bay's alley.
