Green Bay Packers sign running back Damon Bankston to practice squad

The Green Bay Packers signed rookie running back Damon Bankston to their practice squad on Tuesday following a team tryout. Bankston, a former New Mexico player, previously signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. The running back brings versatility to the roster, having contributed as a one-cut runner, pass-catcher, and returner during his collegiate career. His addition fills the final opening on the Packers' practice squad. Green Bay also evaluated several other players during the workout, including quarterback Jack Plummer and running back Phil Mafah, as the team continues to assess its depth across multiple positions. The organization maintains a focus on secondary reinforcements, as the team currently carries only 11 defensive backs between the active roster and the practice squad.
