AARON JONES NEWS

Does damage in receiving game Jones registered 46 rushing yards on 13 carries, adding five receptions for 49 yards during Sunday's 24-20 win against Jacksonville. He also fumbled once, but the ball rolled out o...

Impact Jones averaged an electrifying 5.7 yards per carry over his first four appearances of the 2020 campaign, but he's been contained to just 3.1 yards per attempt over his past three outings against the Buccaneers, 49ers and Jaguars. Tampa Bay and San Francisco entered Sunday's slate ranking first and 10th in rush defense, respectively, but Jacksonville sat at 27th in the NFL with 138.1 yards per game surrendered on the ground. Jones was unable to capitalize on a seemingly favorable Week 10 matchup, though he did salvage considerable value in producing his second-highest receiving output of the year. The fourth-year back has garnered a healthy workload of 18-plus offensive touches in six of his seven appearances this season, but he heads into a challenging Week 11 matchup against the Colts' No. 3 rush defense.

Logs full practice Jones (calf) practiced in full Wednesday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Jones was listed as limited on each of the Packers' injury reports prior to getting the green light to return last Thursday at San Francisco. He logged a typical 61 percent of the snaps on offense, which led to 20 touches for 79 yards after missing two games due to a calf strain. The workload likely was necessitated by the lack of available running backs: both Jamaal Williams (not injury related) and AJ Dillon (illness) were unavailable Week 9 due to residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Williams is back on the active roster, while Dillon remains away from the team as he deals with the illness. As a result, the Packers seem poised to have their usual Jones-Williams duo Sunday against the Jaguars for the first time since Week 6.

Posts 79 total yards in return Jones (calf) rushed 15 times for 58 yards and secured all five targets for an additional 21 yards in the Packers' 34-17 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.

Impact Jones was able to make it through pregame workouts without issue, setting the stage for his return from a two-game absence on a night the Packers were without Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon for COVID-related reasons. Jones paced the backfield in carries, but Tyler Ervin did complement him nicely with eight attempts as game script allowed Green Bay to keep the star running back's workload lighter than usual. Jones now has the luxury of a few extra days of rest ahead of a very favorable Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Slated to be available Thursday Jones (calf) is expected to suit up for Thursday's contest at San Francisco, pending a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Notably, Schefter stated the Packers intend to be "careful" with Jones and see how his calf reacts to the aforementioned warmup, but they also expect him to be available to the offense. If he indeed is active, Jones may only be used in an emergency with two other healthy bodies (Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams) available to the backfield. However, Jones has averaged 110 yards from scrimmage per game and scored seven touchdowns in five appearances this season, so there's still a decent chance he contributes to the box score.

Trending up for Thursday night The Packers are increasingly hopeful that Jones (calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the 49ers, will be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network repor...

Impact Listed as a limited practice participant on each of the Packers' three reports this week, Jones hasn't proven that he's completely moved past the calf strain that has sidelined him for the team's past two games. That being said, Jones has apparently shown improvement over the past few days, so the Packers will likely clear him to play if he can make it through an early warmup without issue. Clarification on Jones' status one way or the other should come approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Packers release their inactive list. If Jones is available, Rapoport notes that the running back could be in store for a limited role, which supports what Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported earlier Thursday. With AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams already ruled out for Week 9 after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tyler Ervin -- who has lined up mostly out wide or in the slot this season -- and practice squad callup Dexter Williams are the only other healthy running backs on the roster.

Status up in air for Thursday Jones (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at San Francisco, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones' practice reps were capped this week as he works his way back from a strained calf. Both coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett expect Jones to be "a game-time deal," per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, so the running back's availability (or lack thereof) Thursday likely will come down to a pregame workout. The Packers could use his services, as AJ Dillon tested positive for COVID-19 this week and Jamaal Williams is unavailable because he was considered to be a high-risk close contact of Dillon's. Aside from Jones, the team has two available backs (Tyler Ervin and practice-squad member Dexter Williams) to handle work.
