Packers' Chris Brooks: Not in uniform Thursday
Brooks isn't suited up for Thursday's preseason game in Pittsburgh.
Brooks will join Josh Jacobs (groin) on the sideline for the Packers' exhibition opener, leaving some combination of MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong, Damien Martinez and Jaden Nixon to man the backfield. Brooks' absence Thursday may stem from the hamstring injury that kept him on the active/PUP list until this past Sunday. In any case, he'll have two more chances to mix into a preseason contest as he vies with Lloyd for the No. 2 RB role behind Jacobs.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Returns to practice
The Packers activated Brooks (hamstring) off the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Brooks practiced at camp for the first time on Sunday. The running back has finally recovered from the hamstring issue he sustained in the offseason and is ready to contest MarShawn Lloyd for the No. 2 role behind Josh Jacobs (groin). Brooks will need to show that he is healthy and ready throughout the preseason, as Pierre Strong and rookie seventh-rounder Damien Martinez are looking to climb the depth chart as well.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Dealing with hamstring issue
Brooks is on the Packers' active/non-football injury list during training camp due to a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Brooks sustained the injury after the 2025 campaign wrapped up, but its severity is still unknown at this point. In his absence, Pierre Strong and 2025 seventh-rounder Damien Martinez could get more looks out of the backfield in practice.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Placed on NFI list
The Packers have placed Brooks (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Brooks appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury that was not sustained during football-related activities. The veteran third-down specialist signed a two-year extension with Green Bay this offseason and is in position to compete with MarShawn Lloyd for reserve opportunities behind starter Josh Jacobs. If Brooks' health keeps him off the field during the early stages of training camp, however, Lloyd will benefit from increased chances to secure the No. 2 backfield role.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Inks two-year extension
Brooks agreed to terms Wednesday on a two-year, $4.85 million contract extension with the Packers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Brooks operated as Green Bay's clear No. 3 running back across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, logging 27 carries for 106 yards and 13 catches for 91 yards (17 targets) behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson. Jacobs remains under contract with the team and positioned for a workhorse role, while Wilson isn't expected to be tendered ahead of free agency. Pending further additions to the backfield, that leaves Brooks in position to potentially compete with 2024 third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring), who spent all of 2025 on IR, for the No. 2 role behind Jacobs.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Packers' clear RB3 in 2025
Brooks finished the 2025 regular season with 27 carries for 106 yards and 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 91 yards across 17 games with the Packers.
With 2024 third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) spending the entire season on injured reserve, Brooks stepped up as the Packers' third option out of the backfield behind Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson. Brooks split his snaps fairly evenly across offense and special teams but took on more offensive responsibilities in Weeks 12 and 18 (both times against the Vikings) when Jacobs was sidelined, with the former accumulating 19 carries for 82 yards and one catch for five yards over those two games. Brooks enters the offseason as a restricted free agent and could be tendered by the Packers.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Leading rusher in loss
Brooks carries the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.
The No. 3 running back on the Green Bay depth chart saw his most extensive action of the season as the team rested Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) ahead of the playoffs, and Brooks wound up leading the Packers in rushing yards despite seeing less volume than Emanuel Wilson. Brooks came into the game with just 14 carries for 45 yards on the season, so he's unlikely to make any kind of impact in the wild-card round.

Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry vs. Chicago
Brooks rushed once for four yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
The 25-year-old played 15 offensive snaps and primarily served as Green Bay's top pass-blocking running back during Saturday's loss. In 15 games this season, Brooks has rushed 14 times for 45 yards and caught 12 of 15 targets for 80 yards. The BYU product could serve as the Packers' No. 2 RB in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens if Josh Jacobs (knee) is sidelined.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Active for Saturday night
Brooks (chest) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
With No. 3 running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) on injured reserve, Brooks will have the chance to draw rotational snaps for the Packers' run game behind starters Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson. In last week's loss to the Broncos, Brooks had 17 offensive snaps, which led to two rushes for 10 yards as well as two targets for a six-yard reception.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Questionable for Saturday at CHI
Brooks (chest) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Brooks isn't the only banged-up Packers running back, as Josh Jacobs (knee) is listed as questionable and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) has been ruled out. Jacobs expects to play Saturday, so Brooks will likely be left to split backup duties with Emanuel Wilson at best, if he plays at all following three limited practices.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Another limited practice
Brooks (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Brooks has been limited in back-to-back practices to begin Week 16 preparations, though Green Bay only held a walk-through session Tuesday. The change-of-pace back will have one more opportunity to prove he can mange full practice reps prior to Saturday's road matchup against the Bears.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Dealing with chest issue
Brooks (chest) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.
Brooks was a bit more involved in the offense in Week 15 with Josh Jacobs playing through a lingering knee injury, but it looks like he might have hurt his chest during Sunday's game. He still has two more chances to log a full practice before Green Bay releases its final practice report of the week Thursday.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Limited to lone reception
Wilson was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.
Brooks got a season-high 29 snaps in Week 12 with starting running back Josh Jacobs unavailable, and he still logged 18 the following week with Jacobs back in action. However, he was on the field for only eight plays in Sunday's contest. Fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson received just as many, but he did get three touches compared to only the one for Brooks. Brooks should continue seeing a few snaps on passing downs, but Wilson remains the top option behind Jacobs, and both may fill only bit roles with the starter back at full speed.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Logs two catches on Thanksgiving
Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.
On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Racks up nine touches
Brooks had eight carries for 21 yards and one reception for five yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
The nine touches were the most Brooks has recorded in a game since joining the Packers in 2024, but they came in a contest in which starter Josh Jacobs (knee) sat out and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson touched the ball a whopping 30 times. Brooks could again be busier than usual if Jacobs is unable to play Thursday against the Lions, but in such a scenario he would still be the No. 2 option behind Wilson.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Candidate for more work
Brooks had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
It was a typical appearance for Brooks, who got a few snaps -- five, even with starter Josh Jacobs (knee) leaving the game -- but hardly enough to make a fantasy impact. Jacobs is not believed to be facing an extended absence, but his status is uncertain for Green Bay's Week 12 matchup with the Vikings, and if he is unable to go, Brooks could see a few more opportunities, particularly on passing downs. Fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, though, would be the heavy favorite to be the lead back for the Packers if Jacobs misses one game or more.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Not involved against Eagles
Brooks failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.
Brooks was a complete nonfactor Monday night, playing just six of the Packers' 68 offensive snaps in the contest. The third-year running back has not handled a single carry for the past for games and is averaging a 12 percent offensive snap share this season. Brooks remains far off the fantasy radar based on his limited usage as the No. 3 running back behind starter Josh Jacobs and backup Emanuel Wilson. Next up for the Packers is a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Corrals two passes
Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
Brooks played 11 snaps in Week 9 -- the most he has recorded in a game since Week 2 -- and got a couple touches, but it was still only the second time all season he finished with more than one. He remains the third running back on the depth chart for the Packers.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Stuck in No. 3 role
Brooks did not record a touch in Sunday's 35-25 victory over the Steelers.
Brooks did not get the ball for second time in as many games and was only on the field for a season-low three snaps. Josh Jacobs has had a lighter workload than usual in recent weeks, but Emanuel Wilson has soaked up the extra opportunities, leaving a clear pecking order in Green Bay's backfield.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Remains in bit role
Brooks was targeted once but did not record a touch in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
Fellow reserve running back Emanuel Wilson saw some extra snaps with top ball carrier Josh Jacobs spending less time on the field than usual due to an illness and calf injury, but there was no visible change to the workload for Brooks. The pecking order is pretty clearly defined in Green Bay's backfield, and Wilson -- who has played 68 snaps to 25 for Brooks over the last four games -- would be the primary beneficiary should Jacobs sustain any sort of setback.
