Packers defensive end Micah Parsons talks about facing Bo Nix, Broncos
Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons looks forward to the opportunity to face the Denver Broncos in a matchup of highly touted defenses.
DENVER − With Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson battling an illness, tailback Pierre Strong Jr. was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for game day ahead of the Dec. 14 matchup at the Denver Broncos.
Wilson was added to the injury report as questionable Dec. 13 because of his illness. The Packers already listed Josh Jacobs as questionable with a knee injury that kept him out of practice until Friday this week.
It’s the third time Strong has been elevated on game day, using his maximum allotment for a season. His last came Nov. 23 against the Minnesota Vikings when Jacobs was inactive because of a knee injury. He also was elevated when the Packers traveled to the Arizona Cardinals in October.
