Packers' Chris Brooks: Continues making impact
Christopher Brooks had two carries for 13 yards and three receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.Brooks made some noise for the third time in four games, and although he finished relatively even with fellow backup Emanuel Wilson in both snaps and touches, he was the first running back to enter the game behind starter Josh Jacobs, and he could have matched Wilson in the touchdown column had he and quarterback Jordan Love connected on a short pass in the first quarter. Brooks is gaining momentum, but the Green Bay Packers are on bye Week 10 and could get back rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) before they take the field again, so Brooks may not be a priority addition quite yet.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Gets involved in win
Christopher Brooks had four carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.Brooks was the third Green Bay Packers running back to get work Sunday, but he finished with just one fewer touch than fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, and he also wound up playing 17 snaps to Wilson's 12. There hasn't been an official changing of the guard behind starter Josh Jacobs, and another ball carrier -- MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) -- could be back soon, but Brooks is more than an afterthought in the Green Bay backfield at this point.

His spot on the roster will be in jeopardy when fellow running back MarShawn Lloyd (IR, ankle) returns, but he figures to remain Green Bay's third running back until then.

Packers' Chris Brooks: Makes Packers debut
Christopher Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.Brooks saw his first work since joining the Green Bay Packers in early September, but he did not take a carry until Green Bay's final drive when the outcome was all but decided. Brooks will operate as the third running back in Green Bay until MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is ready to return, but he will presumably be a distant third option given the way fellow ball carriers Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson have performed to date.
