Green Bay Packers’ running back situation is undergoing changes, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting that Aaron Jones is expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after recovering from a knee injury sustained in Week 11. Jones had previously missed three games due to a hamstring injury earlier in the season. The Packers also made roster moves, activating cornerback Eric Stokes off injured reserve and elevating running back Kenyan Drake and receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad.
The running back scenario hints at AJ Dillon possibly being inactive due to a thumb injury sustained against the New York Giants. Although Dillon practiced with heavy padding, a departure from the norm for offensive skill players, it suggests he might be sidelined. Assuming Jones plays, Patrick Taylor is likely to be the number two back, with Drake serving as the reserve.
The key question remains the extent of Jones’ involvement in the game plan. Having dealt with multiple injuries this season and not played since November 19th, there’s uncertainty about his workload. In 2023, Jones has only managed 66 carries and 19 receptions, surpassing 10 carries in only two games. It wouldn’t be surprising if Taylor ends up with the most snaps among the running backs on Sunday.
