Packers, Bears Work Out Multiple Running Backs, Defensive Backs Amid Injuries

The Green Bay Packers recently held workouts for three running backs: Tyrion Davis-Price, Micah Bernard, and Kylin James, signaling potential roster additions. Davis-Price, a 2022 third-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers, has bounced between several teams including the Eagles and Titans, seeing limited game action. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears have been active in strengthening their defense due to injuries, hosting tryouts for eight defensive backs, including Kalon Barnes, a speedy former seventh-round pick with experience on multiple NFL teams. The Bears also conducted workouts for four free agent running backs, including Tyrion Davis-Price and Aaron Shampklin, a former Steelers running back known for his inspiring journey from substitute teacher to NFL player. These moves reflect both teams' efforts to address depth and injury concerns ahead of the season. The Packers and Bears are thus exploring available talent to bolster their rosters through workouts and tryouts.
