Green Bay Packers: RB revealed by head coach Matt LaFleur Despite not having an injury designation, Aaron Jones is not guaranteed to play on Sunday.
Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers expressed cautious optimism during his Friday press conference regarding RB Aaron Jones’ potential to play in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Due to a hamstring injury, Jones has missed three games so far this season. Last week, in his first game back following a bye week, he only managed eight carries for 35 yards. Given Green Bay’s history of being cautious when recovering players from potentially long-lasting injuries, it appears that Jones will be counted out if he plays on Sunday.
What Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur said about Aaron Jones’ status for Sunday’s game.
Aaron Jones, a running back for the Packers, is not listed as injured going into Sunday’s game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, despite his hamstring injury.
Regarding whether Jones will play, head coach Matt LaFleur remained reticent during Friday’s press conference.
“We’re still going to be smart with him. I don’t think he’s 100 percent by any stretch.”
This is code for don’t expect Aaron Jones to have a featured role in the offense on Sunday. This is a vital game for Green Bay to get off the schneid and win their first game in over a month. Rushing Aaron Jones back would prove costly for Green Bay because he’s the most dynamic player the team has offensively, and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield has been a missing element for Jordan Love and the offense.
Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones seems aligned with his head coach on his playing status for Sunday.
“I’ll probably be there next Sunday if I don’t get to 100 percent by Sunday. Just keep working at it and taking things day by day. I feel like I’m getting there, so it’s like someone put some smiles on my face.
That doesn’t sound like a player who’s confident the injury has healed. More or less, it wouldn’t be the worst scenario if Jones missed another week because hamstring injuries are tricky, and those types of injuries can linger for a whole season, so Green Bay should proceed with caution and hold Aaron Jones out another week to see if his hamstring injury is 100 percent healed next week.
