AARON JONES NEWS

Logs limited practice Wednesday Jones was limited by a knee injury at Wednesday's walkthrough, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The cap on Jones' reps to begin Week 15 prep likely is related to the sprained right MCL he sustained back in Week 10 against the Seahawks. He missed one game as a result of the injury, and in two appearances since then he's combined for 18 touches for 88 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. Fellow running back AJ Dillon received for more work over those two contests to the tune of 40 touches for 161 total yards and one receiving score. Assuming Jones is able to continue playing through the issue, he may take a back seat to Dillon until he's closer to 100 percent.

Scores twice in timeshare Jones rushed five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, adding three receptions for 30 yards and another score in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.

Impact Jones looked like his usual dominant self fresh off of the bye after struggling in his first game back from injury in Week 12. AJ Dillon (15 carries for 71 yards) received the lion's share of rushing attempts, out-touching his fellow back 15 to eight. Jones' nose for the end zone netted his managers the better fantasy line, but head coach Matt LaFleur seems committed to a true timeshare between the two talented backs, which puts a slight damper on Jones' previously-elite fantasy value. When healthy, the 27-year-old is such a weapon that he can still be a must-start asset in his new limited role.

Ten carries in return Jones rushed the ball 10 times for 23 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams. He was also targeted once but did not record a reception.

Impact Jones returned from a one-game absence after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 10. He received the first carry of the game for the Packers and saw eight carries in the first half as opposed to six for AJ Dillon. However, Dillon was used extensively in the second half as the Packers tried to run out the clock, and Dillon ultimately earned 20 carries compared to 10 for Jones. When given the opportunity, Jones wasn't particularly effective as he averaged only 2.3 yards per carry, with his longest rush going for eight yards. When asked about the running back situation after the game, head coach Matt LaFleur called the backfield a "1A and 1B" situation," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Back in action Sunday Jones (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact When Jones sustained an MCL sprain in his right knee Week 10 against the Seahawks, he was expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks. Indeed, the Packers ruled him out for Week 11 action at Minnesota, but he put himself in a position to return by logging limited listings Wednesday through Friday and entering the weekend as questionable. Both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relayed prior to the contest that Green Bay was treating Jones as a game-time decision, and after a pregame workout it's been determined the fifth-year pro is healthy enough to play. Whether or not Jones retakes the reins of the backfield remains to be seen, but AJ Dillon could end up getting the larger share of RB reps between the two considering their respective levels of health.

Being treated as game-time call The Packers are continuing to view Jones (knee) as a true game-time decision leading up to Sunday's game against the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Green Bay and Los Angeles will kick off among the second wave of Sunday games at 4:25 p.m. ET, so official clarity on Jones' status may not arrive until the Packers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the start of the contest. According to Fowler, the Packers were pleased how Jones fared over his three limited practices this week, after he missed the team's Week 11 loss to the Vikings due to the MCL sprain of his right knee. Even if Jones is active this week, there's a good chance he's eased back into the mix as part of a timeshare out of the backfield with AJ Dillon, who was productive as a fill-in starter against Minnesota.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • NFL.COM

Will likely be game-time decision Jones' (knee) availability for Sunday's contest against the Rams is expected to be a game-time decision, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Initial reports suggested that Jones would miss one or two games after suffering the injury in Week 10. Jones sat out last week's loss to Minnesota, but he was able to return to limited practices this week and is officially listed as questionable for Week 12. Schefter reports that Jones wants to play Sunday, but following their matchup with the Rams the Packers enter their bye week, which would give their star running back two more weeks to fully rehab from a minor MCL sprain. The game-time decision will put fantasy managers in a difficult position, as the Packers don't kick off until 4:25 p.m. ET. Obviously, if he is unable to go, then AJ Dillon is expected to see the majority of the offensive snaps once again while Patrick Taylor operates as the backup.

Listed as questionable Jones (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact A limited practice participant the past two days, Jones likely will get the same designation Friday when the Packers release their final injury report. He seems to be progressing as expected from a minor MCL sprain, as initial reports suggested he'd miss one or two games after suffering the injury Week 10. An upcoming bye in Week 13 might impact the Packers' decision, though perhaps less so than usual given that they're facing a potential competitor for NFC playoff seeding this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Remains limited Thursday Jones (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has logged some activity on the practice field in back-to-back sessions, upholding coach Matt LaFleur's expectation that the running back would be back in the fold this week. On Wednesday, LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site that the Packers will "take it a day at a time" with Jones as he recovers from an MCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered Week 10 against the Seahawks and sidelined him this past Sunday in Minnesota. As a result, Friday's session and eventual injury report could provide clarity regarding Jones' ability to return Sunday versus the Rams.

Puts in limited practice Jones (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Impact As predicted by head coach Matt LaFleur earlier Wednesday, Jones ended up returning to the fold. According to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site, LaFleur said the Packers will "take it a day at a time" with Jones, who has a realistic shot at playing Sunday against the Rams after sitting out last weekend's loss to Minnesota with the MCL sprain. How Jones is listed on injury reports Thursday and Friday may provide insight into his potential to return this weekend, and by proxy whether AJ Dillon will remain Green Bay's primary back or split reps.

Impact After suffering an MCL sprain of his right knee in the Packers' Week 10 win over the Seahawks, Jones was projected to miss 1-to-2 weeks. He already missed one game this past Sunday at Minnesota, but he's poised for his first on-field work since picking up the injury. As intimated by LaFleur, the Packers will be cautious with Jones as he attempts to get back to 100 percent, but the running back seems bound for a limited listing on Wednesday's practice report.
