On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers signed former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake to their practice squad. In correspondence with the move, the Packers released running back James Robinson from the practice squad.
Drake joined the league in 2016 when he was drafted in the third round by the Miami Dolphins. The Georgia native spent four seasons with the Dolphins before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals.
He would go on to spend two seasons with the Cardinals organization. Since then, Drake has been a member of five different organizations. He has spent time with the Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and now the Green Bay Packers.
Drake has had to overcome a lot in his college and professional career. It will be intriguing to see if he can earn a spot on the Packers’ active roster in due time.
Packers claimed CB David Long Jr. off waivers from the Carolina Panthers, signed RB Kenyan Drake to their practice squad and released RB James Robinson from their practice squad.
