A green Bay Packers player Is One of Four Questionable Players in the Packers-Giants Final Injury Report.
Aaron Jones, the running back for the Packers, took part in each of the three practices this week. When the Giants visit on Monday night, will he be let loose?
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin: Aaron Jones , the running back for the Green Bay Packers, was limited in his activity on Saturday for the third day in a row. It appears that Jones may be ready to make a comeback to the starting lineup for Monday night’s game against the New York Giants.
Jones, safety Darnell Savage, cornerback Eric Stokes, and cornerback Jaire Alexander were all listed as questionable on coach Matt LaFleur’s final injury report of the week. Out is wide receiver Christian Watson, and linebacker Quay Walker is questionable.
In the event that practice on Saturday goes as planned, Jones, the coaches, and the training staff will determine whether he plays on Monday or if he has to wait a week to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
After practice on Friday, Jones responded when asked how he would know he would be ready for game action. “I would say just being able to put that foot in the ground and then get up to full speed.” “The only thing you don’t know is the hit; you don’t know you’re taking a hit until it actually happens. However, it seems to be more evident when you’re moving quickly because you can cut and plant your foot in the desired spot.
Jones’s sprained MCL prevented him from playing in the last two games. The last significant test for Jones’ potential return came on Saturday during practice, as he missed games against the Chiefs and Lions due to a knee injury sustained during the team’s victory over the Chargers.
Despite the fact that the Packers prevailed in those three games, his return would help the team as a leader, receiver, and runner.
His explosive playmaking ability—which includes both running the ball and passing the ball—was praised by offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. However, we’re fortunate to have AJ (Dillon). Being our workhorse for the last half of the season, he’s done a pretty good job. Although he may not have the same flash as Aaron Jones, he is a reliable player who has performed admirably in all that.
Reporters were only allowed to witness the pre-practice phase inside the Don Hutson Center, as is customary for the last practice of the week. The only players who did not go outside for the start of practice were Walker (shoulder) and Watson (hamstring).
Watson missed practice this week due to a hamstring injury he suffered late in the Chiefs game. The question about how many games he will miss due to his most recent hamstring injury is more important than whether or not he will play against the Giants.
Christian is undoubtedly a key component of our attack, LaFleur remarked following practice. He’s truly found his calling. That’s unfortunate because it took him a while to get started in our system this year, so that’s obviously not great. I feel good about the other guys, but he’s made so many amazing plays in the last few weeks.
“They’ve really grown, in my opinion, and we have a lot of players who can fill in at different positions to help make up for that setback. The absence of one guy presents an opportunity for the group as a whole, and I believe those guys are up to the challenge.”
