Potentially set to be without Aaron Jones for the final two games of the season, the Packers brought in some help.
The Packers claimed running back Kapri Bibbs off waivers from the Redskins, who cut him on Saturday. He had spent this season playing a part-time role behind Adrian Peterson, doing so while Chris Thompson battled a rib injury.
Bibbs has spent the past two seasons in Washington. He notched 20 carries for 101 yards this year and caught 13 passes for 102. The former UDFA began his career in Denver, seeing brief action for the Broncos’ 2015 Super Bowl team and playing in 12 games a year later. The Broncos traded Bibbs to the 49ers on 2017 draft weekend, but San Francisco cut him prior to the regular season.
Prior to the Bibbs addition, only Jamaal Williams resided as a healthy Packers running back. Green Bay also has Malcolm Johnson and Lavon Coleman on its practice squad.
Riveting. Simply riveting.
Haha… for what?!? Season is OVER!
Bibbs is a nifty little back. He’ll never be pro-bowl, but he offers great value and a full speed ahead attitude. Decent hands and moves, limited size and speed.
I’d rather take a chance on some undrafted rookie running backs ..
