Packers' new formula: Rely on defense rather than offense

May miss up to two weeks Jones sustained an MCL sprain of his right knee during Sunday's 17-0 win over the Seahawks and is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones underwent an MRI after being forced out of Sunday's win in the third quarter. While it's unfortunate for both fantasy managers and the Packers offense that Jones likely will be forced to miss time, it could be considered a stroke of good luck that he's avoided a major injury and may not even need to be placed on IR. In the meantime, AJ Dillon, who racked up 128 yards from scrimmage and two scores versus Seattle, will stand to operate as Green Bay's clear backfield leader. Patrick Taylor, the only other running back on the team's active roster, also could be in line for added opportunities if Jones indeed misses time.

Not returning Sunday Jones (knee) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.

Impact .Jones left the game after a six-yard run late in the third quarter, requiring assistance from team trainers to get to the sideline and eventually the blue medical tent. After an evaluation, he may be in line for a multi-game absence, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Jones picked up an MCL sprain. If so, Jones will yield the backfield to second-year pro AJ Dillon.

Picks up knee injury Sunday Jones suffered a knee injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Impact After a six-yard run, Jones attempted to limp off the field but fell back to the turf and needed assistance from two members of the Packers' training staff to get to the sideline. He promptly visited the blue medical tent, after which the diagnosis was given. Jones remained on the sideline with his helmet off, and if he's unable to reenter the game he'll come out of Week 10 with seven carries for 25 yards and four catches for 61 yards. AJ Dillon will take over lead RB duties in Jones' stead, while Patrick Taylor is the only other back on the active roster.

With offense sputtering, Chiefs defense rises to occasion

Kansas City's offense sputtered again Sunday, so one of the league's worst defenses through the first half of the season rose to the occasion against Green Bay

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Disappointing showing Jones ran for 53 yards on 12 carries against Kansas City on Sunday.

Impact Jones didn't catch either of his two targets, marking a missed opportunity against a defense that often struggles to defend against even lesser running backs. Jones did well enough when given the ball in Sunday's game, but the opportunities just weren't there. Perhaps that was influenced by the struggles of the Jordan Love-led passing game, but if so it's not clear how soon relief might arrive. It's not known if Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) will be available against Seattle in Week 10, so Jones might have to work within similar circumstances if Love is forced to make a second straight start. If Jones can reclaim a more substantial workload, though, his talent gives reason to expect a bounce-back.

Thursday Night Football top plays: Packers hand Cardinals first defeat

Cardinals' mix-up leads to game-winning interception as Green Bay hands Arizona first loss of season. Here are the top plays!

OCTOBER 29, 2021

Plays pivotal role as receiver Jones rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and secured seven of 11 targets for 51 yards in the Packers' 24-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Impact With the Packers down both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard due to COVID-19 protocols -- and with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) still on injured reserve -- Jones ended up leading Green Bay in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The star running back also managed to record his first rushing touchdown since Week 3, and he's now recorded at least four receptions in four consecutive contests. Jones' rushing volume was also encouragingly back up after he logged just six carries against Washington in Week 7, and he'll look to exploit a vulnerable Chiefs defense in a Week 9 road showdown a week from Sunday.
