The Packers announced Saturday that they are elevating RB Kenyan Drake and RB Bo Melton for Week 15.
Drake, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2016. Miami traded him to the Cardinals before the 2019 deadline in return for a conditional sixth-round pick that could become a fifth-rounder.
Drake finished the final year of his four-year, $3.5 million contract and made a base salary of $810,000 for the 2019 season. However, Arizona opted to transition tag Drake for the 2020 season.
The Raiders signed Drake in free agency the following year to a two-year, $11 million contract that was worth up to $14.5 million. However, they released him ahead of the 2022 season. He caught on with the Ravens and finished out the year.
The Colts signed Drake to a contract in August but cut him after just three weeks. He’s since had stints with the Browns and Ravens before signing on to the Packers practice squad.
In 2023, Drake has appeared in two games for the Ravens and caught two passes for 31 yards and no touchdowns.
