Pierre Strong: Returns to practice squad
Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Strong was a healthy scratch after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals. The running back was expected to fill a complementary role in the backfield due to Josh Jacobs being a game-time decision due to an illness and a calf injury, but Jacobs ultimately garnered active status and handled the lion's share of the workload. Strong can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Packers' Pierre Strong: Healthy scratch Week 7
Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
With Josh Jacbos (calf/illness) officially cleared to play, Strong will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks provide depth out of the backfield. The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad Saturday, and he can be brought up twice more by Green Bay this season.

Packers' Pierre Strong: Elevated from practice squad
The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Strong caught on with the Packers' practice squad in early September after being let go by the Browns with an injury settlement. The 2022 fourth-rounder will be available to play against the Cardinals on Sunday and will provide the Packers backfield depth, as Josh Jacobs' status is up in the air due to a calf injury and illness.

Pierre Strong: Headed to Green Bay
The Packers signed Strong (concussion) to the practice squad Monday.
Strong reached an injury settlement with the Browns this past Tuesday, and his addition to the Packers' practice squad indicates that he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. The 2022 fourth-rounder would be a top candidate to be elevated to Green Bay's active roster should the Packers require additional backfield depth during the season. Strong appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Browns last year and logged 26 carries for 108 yards and 14 catches (on 22 targets) for 104 yards. Israel Abanikanda was cut from the Packers' practice squad in a corresponding move.

Pierre Strong: Let go from IR
The Browns waived Strong (concussion) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Strong was set to miss the entire 2025 season after reverting to the Browns' IR, but the injury settlement will allow him to sign with another team once he clears the league's five-step concussion protocol. The 2022 fourth-rounder appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Browns last year and logged 26 carries for 108 yards and 14 catches (on 22 targets) for 104 yards.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Reverts to IR
Strong (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.
Strong was evaluated for a concussion during the team's final preseason game, but there was never a confirmed diagnosis. The 2022 fourth-round pick will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns. Ahead of Week 1, the Browns have running backs Jerome Ford, Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders in the mix while Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned.

Pierre Strong: Waived with injury designation
The Browns waived/injured Strong (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.
Strong departed the team's final preseason contest Saturday to be evaluated for a concussion, though it's not immediately clear if he was cleared or if that issue is what led to him being waived with an injury designation Tuesday. Whatever the case may be, the Browns are down to two healthy RBs currently on the roster -- Jerome Ford and rookie Dylan Sampson. It's still likely that rookie Quinshon Judkins will be part of the group as well, but he's yet to sign a contract and is still under investigation by the NFL for an off-the-field incident.

Pierre Strong: Slated to be cut by Browns
The Browns plan to waive Strong (concussion), Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strong left Saturday's preseason game against the Rams to be evaluated for a concussion, but it's unclear if the running back was subsequently cleared. In any case, as a result of the looming move, the Browns' backfield depth behind Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson takes a hit, with 2025 second-rounder Quinshon Judkins still unsigned. Undrafted rookie Ahmani Marshall could open the season in the No. 3 role.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Exits for concussion protocol
Strong left Saturday's preseason game against the Rams to be evaluated for a concussion.
The Browns played their healthy starters, with Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford sharing backfield work on the first two drives before Strong came on for the third series. If a concussion is confirmed, Strong will have 15 days to clear protocol before a Week 1 opener against Cincinnati on Sun., Sept. 7. He's unlikely to be any higher than third on the depth chart even if he makes it back quickly and fellow running back Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Racks up yardage Saturday
Strong carried the ball 13 times for 89 yards and caught four of five targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 22-13 preseason win over the Eagles.
The veteran back got the start with Jerome Ford and rookie Dylan Sampson being held out of the game, and Strong took advantage of the opportunity. Most of his production came on a 54-yard carry on the first play of the fourth quarter, after which he gave way to Ahmani Marshall. Despite the big performance, Strong's best path to a spot on the 53-man roster will come via his special-teams contributions, and he'll presumably get bumped down the RB depth chart further once 2025 second-round pick Quinshon Judkins finally gets signed.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Practicing Monday
Strong (undisclosed) participated in Monday's training camp practice in a limited capacity, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Strong did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Panthers due to an undisclosed injury. The 2022 fourth-rounder is in a battle against Trayveon Williams and rookie fourth-rounder Dylan Sampson for a spot on the Browns' 53-man roster as a depth running back. Strong should be available for Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles if he can increase his practice activity over the coming week.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Facing tough competition for snaps
Strong will compete for slotting in a Cleveland backfield that includes returnee Jerome Ford, as well as rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
A concussion prevented Strong from suiting up for the Browns' season finale in 2024, but now that he's presumably past the issue, the 2022 fourth-rounder -- who is in the last year of his rookie contract -- will attempt to retain his depth role in the team's backfield. He is an option in the return game, but as long as Judkins and Sampson stay healthy, Strong may not have much of a role in the offense after logging 26 carries for 108 yards and a 14-104-0 receiving line on 22 targets in 14 games last year.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Placed on IR for season finale
The Browns placed Strong (concussion) on injured reserve Friday.
D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly will handle backfield duties for Cleveland's Week 18 finale. Strong's 2024 season ends with 26 carries for 108 scoreless yards and a 14-104-0 receiving line on 22 targets as the Browns' third running back for much of the year. The 2022 fourth-round pick is currently under contract for a non-guaranteed salary of $1.1 million next season, the final year of his rookie deal.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Won't play at Baltimore
Strong (concussion) is out for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strong will sit out just his third game of the season in Week 18 due to a concussion he suffered Sunday versus the Dolphins. He will finish the 2024 season with 26 carries for 108 yards and 14 receptions for 104 yards.

Browns' Pierre Strong: Not practicing Wednesday
Strong (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strong suffered a concussion during Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, and now his availability for Week 18 is in jeopardy. He'll likely have to practice Thursday to be able to suit up Saturday at Baltimore.

Browns' Pierre Strong: In concussion protocol
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Strong is in the NFL's concussion protocol after he exited in the final two minutes of Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins to be evaluated for a head injury, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strong won't practice Tuesday and could face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol on a short week, as the Browns will close their season with a Saturday game in Baltimore. After starting running back Jerome Ford left this past Sunday's game in the second quarter with an ankle injury, Strong was tasked with his biggest workload of the season, finishing the day with five carries for 33 yards and three catches for 15 yards on five targets. With both Ford and Strong banged up, D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly are the only healthy running backs on the Browns' 53-man roster at this stage of the week.
