JAMAAL WILLIAMS NEWS

Officially lands on COVID-19 list The Packers placed Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams won't play in Thursday's game versus the 49ers because he's considered a high-risk close contact of AJ Dillon, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, and he'll need to isolate for five days before returning to team activities. With both Williams and Dillon already ruled out, Aaron Jones' (calf) status is even more important for the Packers in an NFC Championship Game rematch. If Jones is unable to play, however, expect Tyler Ervin and practice squad member Dexter Williams to handle the backfield workload.

Impact Any player deemed "high risk" must self-isolate for five days before having a chance to return to team facilities, meaning Williams will be away from his teammates until at least Saturday. Now down both Williams and Dillon for Thursday's NFC matchup, the Packers will evaluate how No. 1 RB Aaron Jones is coming along in his recovery from a strained calf to determine if a return is possible. Aside from Jones, the only healthy running backs in Green Bay are Tyler Ervin and practice squad member Dexter Williams.

Impact Dillon tested positive for COVID-19 and was promptly placed on the reserve list for those with the illness Monday, one day removed from serving as Williams' backup in the continued absence of Aaron Jones (calf). The NFL is attempting to determine if Williams is a "high-risk close contact," and if that's the case, he won't be eligible to suit up Thursday at San Francisco, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. If not, Williams could rejoin his teammates as early as Tuesday. With Jones listed as limited Monday, the Packers still may have their top two running backs for Thursday's key NFC matchup, but much hinges on the league's evaluation of Williams and the team's assessment of Jones' health.

Hits for triple-digit yards again Williams carried the ball 16 times for 75 yards and caught all six of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Vikings. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

Impact It was a strong performance, but Davante Adams ended up scoring all three of Green Bay's TDs, preventing Williams from putting together an even bigger day. The fourth-year back has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back games, but his workload and production in Week 9's road trip to San Francisco will depend on the health of Aaron Jones (calf).

Poised for another start Williams' teammate Aaron Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams took advantage of the same situation last week, picking up 114 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 23 touches while playing 89 percent of offensive snaps in a 35-20 win over the Texans. He'll face another shaky defense this week, with the Packers playing host to the Vikings in a game where wind could impact the quarterbacks' ability to throw accurately downfield.
