The Green Bay Packers’ No. 1 wide receiver has been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the New York Giants.

The Green Bay Packers’ No. 1 wide receiver has been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the New York Giants.

The Green Bay Packers travel to East Rutherford this weekend to face the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, but they will be missing Christian Watson due to a hamstring injury.

Watson, who missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury, was injured late in the win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. He was visibly in pain while grabbing his hamstring after getting a crucial first down to help the Packers chew some clock and needed assistance getting off the field. He didn’t show up to practice even once this week.

With Watson ruled out for Monday’s game, Jayden Reed and Dontavion Wicks should see increased playing time. Watson’s inability to practice all week may raise concerns about future games, given that he has been dealing with this injury since week one.

Aaron Jones, running back for the Green Bay Packers, is questionable for Monday’s game.

Running Back Aaron Jones, who has not seen the field since spraining his MCL back in late November, got back to the practice field this week in a limited fashion and is questionable to return for Monday’s game.

If Jones isn’t able to suit up for the contest, expect AJ Dillon to take over the lead back role once again.  Dillon had an efficient game last Sunday versus Kansas City, carrying the ball 18 times for 73 yards and catching his lone target for an extra 14 yards.

While Dillon dealt with a groin issue throughout practice this week, he practiced in full participation on Saturday and does not carry an injury designation for the contest.

If Aaron Jones is Ruled Out, A Veteran Running Back May Get a Shot for Green Bay Packers

Kenyan Drake, a veteran in the league who has played for multiple teams throughout his career, signed with the Packers practice squad earlier this week.  Drake has most recently played for the Baltimore Ravens, where he filled a hole last season with running backs JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards on the sidelines with injuries.

Drake has rushed for over 3800 yards and 33 touchdowns in his career and has shown big play ability ever since he was drafted to the Miami Dolphins back in 2016.  If Aaron Jones is set to miss another game, expect Drake to be called up for Monday night’s matchup.

Green Bay needs this win versus New York in order to keep their playoff push alive.  They are currently tied for second on the NFC North Standings with the Minnesota Vikings at a 6-6 record.  Coverage for Monday’s game will start at 8:15 PM Eastern Time on ABC.
