See the full story · 1 sourcesThe Green Bay Packers will likely start training camp without running back Chris Brooks. Per the league's transaction wire, Brooks was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list on Monday.
The NFI list is for players who are injured away from team activities. Brooks was likely injured at some point outside the team's offseason workout program, reported among the team's injured players on Monday and failed his physical.
Unless he can come off the NFI list before Wednesday morning, Brooks will miss the team's first training camp practice.
Brooks signed a two-year deal to return to the Packers this offseason. A versatile running back who can catch and block, Brooks is likely to be a top backup behind Josh Jacobs in 2026.
One notable absence from any injury list: fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd is completely healthy to start training camp. Brooks' injury -- along with Lloyd's long-awaited availability -- could give the 2024 third-round pick a chance to make a legitimate run at the RB2 role this summer.
Brooks will count against the 90-man roster while on the NFI list. He can come off the list at any point.
