Dominique Dafney - Iffy for Saturday Dafney (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Browns.
Impact After sitting out last week's win over the Ravens with the injury, Dafney was listed as a limited participant on practice reports issued Tuesday through Thursday to take the questionable tag into the weekend. If he avoids the inactive list, Dafney will likely serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end and work primarily as a blocker.

Aaron Jones - Clear for Saturday Jones (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Browns, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact The Packers managed Jones' preexisting knee issue this week, listing him as limited on all three practice reports. Still, the issue won't stop the fifth-year back from taking the field Saturday against a Cleveland defense that has allowed 114 yards from scrimmage per game and 13 touchdowns to running backs in 14 contests this season. Of course, Jones will yield reps to backup AJ Dillon, potentially capping the value of both players.

Aaron Rodgers - Ready for Saturday Rodgers (toe) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Browns, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact This comes as no surprise as Rodgers hasn't practiced on his fractured toe for weeks but still has been able to suit up on game days. He nonetheless has been on point during the Packers' current three-game winning streak, averaging 305.3 yards per game and tossing nine touchdowns versus no interceptions during that span.
