Darius Jackson Signed By Packers

The Green Bay Packers have filled their open roster spot with a running back. That guy is former Cowboys sixth-round pick Darius Jackson.

Jackson played at Eastern Michigan and was drafted by Dallas in 2016. He had been added to their practice squad, which enabled the Packers to pick him up.

He has never had a regular-season rushing attempt.

The Packers had only two running backs on the roster. Aaron Jones will be suspended for the first two games. The Packers released both of their fullbacks — Aaron Ripkowski and Joe Kerridge. That left only Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery.
