The Green Bay Packers are re-signing running back James Robinson with Aaron Jones returning from a knee injury, according to a source. Robinson, in his third stint with the team, provides depth in the backfield for the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs. AJ Dillon will continue as the lead back, with Jones’ status uncertain. Robinson’s previous release wasn’t necessarily indicative of Jones’ readiness, said coach Matt LaFleur. The team’s running back situation has been challenged, with Jones, Dillon, and rookie Emanuel Wilson unavailable for Monday’s practice. Robinson’s return and the potential role of practice-squad rookie Ellis Merriweather are discussed as the team navigates its running back roster. Additionally, the Packers added tight end Joel Wilson to their practice squad on Tuesday.
