The Green Bay Packers are going above and above to maintain their hopes of making the playoffs. With a 6-6 record,

the Packers are in charge of their own fate in the postseason. That is very remarkable considering their 3-6 start.

The 4-8 New York Giants and the Packers will square off on Monday night. The Packers made the decision to bring

in a seasoned running back to maintain a competitive advantage.

Kenyan Drake, 29, has been a member of the NFL since 2016. During his NFL career, he has suitably played for the

Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens. He has played for multiple teams

since the start of the season, including the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, and Baltimore Ravens twice.

The Packers choose to go with rookie Ellis Merriweather over Aaron Jones, who is slated to miss his third straight

game due to a knee injury. Drake is the third-string back behind Patrick Taylor and AJ Dillon.
