Packers Expand Futures Class to 17, Adding WR Isaiah Neyor After Wild-Card Exit

The moves foreshadow competition at specialist and backfield positions.

Overview

  • Green Bay signed 16 practice-squad players to reserve/future deals on Jan. 12, then added rookie receiver Isaiah Neyor on Jan. 13.
  • Reserve/future contracts place those players on the Packers' 90-man roster when the new league year begins.
  • The signees include running back Pierre Strong Jr. and kicker Lucas Havrisik, who went 4-for-4 on field goals for Green Bay this season with a 61-yarder.
  • Brandon McManus missed two field goals and an extra point in the wild-card loss and six field goals in the regular season, putting the kicking job under review.
  • Backfield depth remains unsettled with Josh Jacobs coming off an injury-affected year and Emanuel Wilson headed to free agency, so the team kept multiple backs including Strong and 2025 seventh-rounder Damien Martinez.
