Packers RB Reveals He Suffered An Injury Against The Giants and would not be available for…
The Green Bay Packers have somehow put themselves in contention for a Wild Card playoff spot in the NFC after looking rather weak in September and October.
However, they’re banged up, and they won’t be at full strength for their final four games of the regular season.
Running back Aaron Jones has played in only seven games this year, and he has been out because of an injured MCL for nearly a month.
Meanwhile, AJ Dillon, the other half of the Packers’ tag-team duo in the backfield, confirmed that he broke his thumb late in Monday’s loss to the New York Giants, per Ari Meirov.
As a result, Dillon may not be able to play this Sunday when Green Bay hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are fighting to remain in first place in the NFC South.
Meanwhile, Jones was back at practice on Thursday and is hoping to return to game action on Sunday.
The Packers are 6-7 and had won four of their previous five contests before Monday’s frustrating loss to the surging Giants, and they’re very much fighting for their playoff lives here in December.
Quarterback Jordan Love, a first-time starter in his fourth pro season, may be figuring out how to play at a solid level, and they have some promising young wide receivers, including Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.
