Back to practice squad
Merriweather reverted to the Packers' practice squad Saturday following Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Merriweather was active for Friday's game due to MarShawn Lloyd being ruled out with a hamstring injury, though the former didn't end up playing a snap. Merriweather could be elevated from the practice squad again for Week 2 against the Colts if Lloyd is unable to suit up for that contest.

Active Friday
Merriweather is active for Friday's game versus the Eagles in Brazil, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Earlier Friday, Green Bay elevated Merriweather from the practice squad, and he now will be in uniform with the team opting to make rookie third-round pick MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) inactive. Emanuel Wilson (hip) was limited in practice this week, and while he's available for RB reps behind starter Josh Jacobs, there's a chance Merriweather may see the first NFL action of his career. In three preseason games last month, Merriweather averaged 3.8 yards on his 26 carries.

Joins active roster
The Packers elevated Merriweather to their active roster Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old running back stuck around on the Packers' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster in late August, and he's now been elevated ahead of Green Bay's regular-season opener. Merriweather's elevation likely means that one or both of MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) won't suit up Friday night.

Sticks around in Green Bay
Merriweather signed with the Packers' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Merriweather failed to make Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. The UMass product rushed for 99 yards on 25 carries during the Packers' three preseason games, and he could be elevated to the active roster if one of the three running backs on Green Bay's active roster misses time at some point this season.

Doesn't make 53-man roster
Merriweather was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Merriweather spent the second half of the 2023 season on the Packers' practice squad, and he signed with Green Bay in January on a reserve/future deal. He was competing for a depth spot at running back behind Josh Jacobs, and across three preseason outings, Merriweather turned 26 carries into 99 yards. If Merriweather clears waivers, he could look to stick around on the Packers' practice squad or explore his opportunities elsewhere.

Signs with Green Bay
The Packers signed Merriweather to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Merriweather did not suit up for a regular-season game in his rookie season, but he'll now get a shot at a spot on Green Bay's 53-man roster for 2024. He took 150 carries for 575 yards and three touchdowns at Massachusetts in 2022.

Joins Packers' practice squad
Green Bay signed Merriweather to its practice squad Monday.
Analysis: In a corresponding move, the Packers released James Robinson from their practice squad. As long as Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson remain available for Green Bay, Merriweather is unlikely to be elevated.
