Even when the Green Bay Packers re-signed running back Christine Michael this offseason, we figured he’d have a hard time making the roster come training camp. Neither he nor Don Jackson will be given that chance.
After the Packers drafted three running backs, they decided to release both Michael and Jackson.
Michael rushed for 114 yards on 31 carries for the Packers in 2016 after coming over via a waiver claim from the Seattle Seahawks during the middle of the season. His mediocre 3.7 yards per carry average was buoyed by a 42-yard run against the Chicago Bears.
