INJURIES

Runs freely in overtime win Jones rushed 24 times for 138 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over Dallas.
Impact The Packers had a clear gameplan to attack Dallas' premier pass rush with its ground game, and Jones led the charge with his fourth 100-yard game of the season. It hasn't been all roses for the star running back, as he has produced five games of 50 or less rushing yards through 10 weeks. Overall, the 27-year-old is still producing like an RB1 while boasting a career best 5.6 yards per carry. Jones will face a stiff test against Tennessee on a short week Thursday.

Cleared to play Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact The Packers have a crowded Week 10 injury report but at least got a lot of good news on the offensive side of the ball Friday, as Jones, Aaron Rodgers (thumb), Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Sammy Watkins (knee) all avoided game designations. Jones missed the fourth quarter of last week's loss to Detroit after injuring his ankle late in the third quarter. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, and he now will suit up against one of the NFL's better defenses.

Limited again Thursday Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Packers are taking it easy on Jones after he departed the team's Week 9 loss at Detroit in the second half due to a left ankle issue. On a positive note, he's been able to take part in back-to-back sessions, albeit with a cap on his reps, and has one more chance to get back to full before he potentially enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. If Jones is limited Week 10, he could cede some RB reps to AJ Dillon and, to a lesser extent, Kylin Hill.
NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Logs limited session Wednesday Jones (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jones didn't play beyond the middle of the third quarter this past Sunday at Detroit due to a left ankle injury. Subsequent tests, including an X-ray, returned negative, putting Jones on a path to play Sunday against the Cowboys. Jones' ability to mix into drills Wednesday generally supports that notion, but his status will continue to be watched to ensure he'll be available this weekend.
NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing Wednesday Jones (ankle) is taking part in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Reports from Monday suggested that the Packers don't expect Jones to miss time after his early exit from a loss to the Lions in Week 9. With X-rays on Jones' ankle returning negative and the running back already practicing, he's on track to play Sunday against a tough Dallas defense.

X-rays negative, could play Jones (ankle) received negative X-ray results Monday and "should be able to play this week," according to a source familiar with the situation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The news comes as a relief for a Packers team that also saw Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Christian Watson (concussion) depart during Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions and can ill afford to lose more playmakers on offense. It's too early to say whether Jones will return to action Week 10 against the Cowboys before seeing what he's able to do in practice, but it's encouraging that he has a chance to suit up at all. If Jones sits or has his snaps limited Sunday, AJ Dillon would handle an increased role.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
More tests coming Monday Jones is scheduled to undergo additional tests Monday on his left ankle injury after initial X-rays were inconclusive following Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL...
Impact Rapoport suggests that Jones will likely require an MRI and perhaps a CT scan for the Packers to gain clarity on the injury that knocked the running back out of Sunday's game and put him in a walking boot afterward. Jones' availability for the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Cowboys is uncertain, potentially setting up top understudy AJ Dillon for an expanded role.

Using walking boot after Sunday's game Following Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions, Jones was sporting a walking boot on his left foot, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Per Schneidman, the running back -- who left Sunday's game early with an ankle injury -- "had a very noticeable limp" in the locker room afterward. As a result, Jones' status for next weekend's game against the Cowboys will need to be closely monitored. If he's out or limited in Week 10, added carries will be available for AJ Dillon, with Kylin Hill in the mix for increased complementary snaps.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't return Sunday Jones (ankle) didn't return to Sunday's 15-9 loss at Detroit, finishing Week 9 with nine carries for 25 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 20 yards.
Impact In the middle of the third quarter, Jones jogged to the locker room and eventually was deemed questionable to return due to an ankle injury. After that, he was seen in the sideline in uniform but without a helmet, while AJ Dillon and Kylin Hill earned the backfield touches for the rest of the game. Jones' status for next Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys now will need to be monitored as the week continues.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up ankle injury Sunday Jones injured his ankle during the second half of Sunday's contest in Detroit.
Impact Shortly before the Packers scored for the first time Sunday, Jones was seen jogging to the locker room, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, and termed questionable to return due to an ankle issue. If Jones is forced from the contest, AJ Dillon and 2021 seventh-round pick Kylin Hill will be Green Bay's remaining healthy running backs.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rips off huge gains in loss Jones rushed 20 times for 143 yards and caught four of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
Impact Jones produced a more traditional RB1 stat line after looking more like a wide receiver against Washington last week (nine catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns). The dual-threat back ripped off consistent big gains and did everything but score, which has been a common trend for him in 2022. After generating double-digit touchdowns in three consecutive years, the 27-year-old has just four (one rushing) through eight games. Jones will look to correct that slight deficiency in a juicy matchup against a porous Lions defense next Sunday.
