Aaron Jones Sr. Injury News & Updates

Jones rushed 16 times for 70 yards and caught three of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.

Jones finished with a 19-6 edge in touches over Jordan Mason, but Mason scored a 16-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Jones just missed scoring a touchdown of his own in the first quarter but failed to come down with a bobbling catch attempt on an acrobatic effort in the end zone. Heading into a Week 12 road game against his former team in Green Bay, Jones has reestablished himself as the top option in Minnesota's backfield.

Jones (shoulder/toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Jones played through the same two injuries during last week's 27-19 loss to Baltimore, taking 72 percent of offensive snaps while turning 15 touches into 69 yards and a TD. He handled a similar portion of Minnesota's backfield work a week earlier in the upset win over Detroit, prior to exiting in the second half with an AC joint sprain. The shoulder injury may continue to limit his practice reps some, but Jones did manage a full session Friday to close out the week, suggesting he's all systems go for a home game against the Bears.

Jones (shoulder/toe) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Jones has now logged back-to-back limited practices to begin Week 11 preparations as he continues to nurse a toe injury and an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. He played through both injuries Week 10 against the Ravens, carrying the ball nine times for 47 yards and a score while securing three of six targets for 22 yards, so as long as he's able to practice on at least a limited basis again Friday, it seems Jones has solid odds of being cleared for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bears.

Jones (shoulder/toe) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and also a toe injury for a second week in a row, but he was able to play through them this past Sunday against the Ravens and turn 12 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason played second fiddle to Jones en route to five touches for 31 total yards. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jones again enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears.

Jones rushed the ball nine times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens. He added three receptions on six targets for 22 yards.

Jones' line doesn't stand out on the surface, but he served as Minnesota's clear lead back -- a departure from the split the Vikings have used to this point in the season. He out-touched Jordan Mason 12-5 for the game, which included the majority of targets and the team's lone running back touch at the goal line. Jones took advantage of the latter opportunity by punching in a four-yard touchdown for his first trip to the end zone this season. The Vikings were forced to utilize a pass-heavy offense while chasing the score, but Jones could be in line for heavier workloads moving forward.

Jones (shoulder/toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jones emerged from last Sunday's win in Detroit with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, which, along with a toe injury, led to a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen. While the Vikings listed him as questionable for Week 10 action, he told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Friday that "I still have two days, so I feel like I'll be in a good spot" by Sunday. With his active status now confirmed, Jones will continue to split the backfield with Jordan Mason, which has amounted to 18 touches for 138 yards from scrimmage and no touchdowns for Jones over the past two contests (as opposed to Mason's 16 touches for 43 total yards and no TDs during that same span).

Jones (shoulder/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens but is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Jones ended Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited practices to draw the questionable tag, but he relayed to reporters after Friday's session that he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones' official status may not be known until the Vikings announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but the veteran running back is trending toward being available for the Vikings. Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would be in line for more backfield snaps if Jones is ruled out or operates on a snap count.

Jones (shoulder/toe) said Friday that he thinks he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday to play against Baltimore, after the Vikings listed him as questionable on their final injury report, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Following last week's early exit, Jones managed limited practices Thursday and Friday. He told reporters after Friday's practice that he's feeling good, though he did seem to hint at his Sunday availability depending on continued progress over the next two days. Should Jones end up inactive ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would take on larger roles in Minnesota's backfield.

Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Jones suffered an AC joint sprain during the third quarter of Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions. He missed the rest of the game and didn't practice Wednesday, before returning Thursday as a limited participant. Jones appears truly questionable heading into the weekend, with Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott in line for larger roles if Jones ends up on the inactive list before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (shoulder/toe) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

According to Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune, Jones was seen stretching prior to Thursday's session, and his ensuing listing on the Vikings' second Week 10 injury report indicates that he's progressing through the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and also a toe issue. Jones will have one more chance to get back to full activity this week, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens. If he's able to suit up, he likely will continue his relative timeshare out of Minnesota's backfield with Jordan Mason.

Jones (shoulder/toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

Jones revealed after this past Sunday's win at Detroit that his early departure was due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. As the Vikings reconvened Wednesday to kick off Week 10 prep, his absence was attributed to shoulder and toe issues. The latter was unknown until now, so his status will be watched closely as the week continues to see if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones' right shoulder is "sore" following Sunday's 27-24 loss at Detroit, but the Vikings received "positive news early on" and will see if the running back can increase his activity level as the week goes on, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones thus seems to have a chance to play this coming Sunday against the Ravens after suffering what he described as an AC joint sprain Week 9, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jones was running well before exiting in the third quarter, racking up 98 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, while fellow RB Jordan Mason accounted for 11 touches for 37 total yards. Wednesday's injury report may provide a baseline for Jones as he seeks to miss no additional time.

Jones, who exited Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

According to Pelissero, the belief is that the running back's injury issue is minor and Jones thinks he'll be able to play next weekend against the Ravens. With that in mind, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune relays that coach Kevin O'Connell noted that Jones' shoulder will be evaluated further, while adding that the team is "hoping to get some good news" on that front. In the event that Jones is forced to miss time, however, fellow RB Jordan Mason would be in line to see added touches, as he did when Jones was on IR with a hamstring injury.

Jones hurt his shoulder during Sunday's contest in Detroit.

After a three-yard run at the start of the third quarter, Jones went to the medical tent and has remained there since then. He was sitting on nine carries for 78 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 20 yards at the time he exited. Jordan Mason is poised for more work for as long as Jones is on the sideline.

Jones (hamstring) rushed five times for 15 yards and brought in two of four targets for 15 yards in the Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.

Jones made his return from a four-game absence and logged one more carry than backfield mate Jordan Mason, but game script significantly limited Minnesota's ability to run a balanced offense. Jones' truncated opportunities Thursday aside, the veteran back is likely to function as the lead back -- even if not by a significant margin -- over Mason moving forward, but another tough matchup awaits in Week 9 on Sunday, Nov. 2 in the form of a trip to the Motor City to face the Lions.

Jones (hamstring) is active for Thursday's game at the Chargers.

It's been a quick turnaround for Jones, who was designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, followed that up with back-to-back limited walkthroughs, was listed as questionable for Week 8 action and then activated from IR on Thursday. He now has been cleared for his first game action since he suffered a hamstring injury Week 2, but with Jordan Mason faring well in Jones' absence -- and considering how long the latter was sidelined -- Jones seems poised for complementary work as a pass catcher, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones has five seasons of 50-plus receptions in his nine-year career.

The Vikings have activated Jones (hamstring), who is officially listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football against the Chargers but is expected to play, from injured reserve.

Jones is expected to suit up Thursday night, per Kirk Herbstreit of Prime Video, and this transaction makes him eligible to do so. Minnesota may not make the veteran running back's status official until roughly 90 minutes ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however. If he's indeed cleared to suit up on the road against Los Angeles, expect Jones join Jordan Mason atop Minnesota's backfield depth chart, bumping Zavier Scott (wrist) down to the No. 3 role. It's possible, though, that Jones will still have a cap on his reps after having managed two limited walkthrough practices this week.

Jones (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at the Chargers but remains on injured reserve, is expected to play, Kirk Herbstreit of Prime Video reports.

The Vikings will need to activate Jones from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET for the running back to have a chance to log his first game action since Week 2, when he initially injured his hamstring. Jones managed two limited walkthroughs this week, so if he's indeed active Thursday he seemingly would be operating with a cap on his snaps and touches. In any case, Jones' availability for Week 8 will be known roughly 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (hamstring), who was designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest at the Chargers.

Jones was limited at walkthroughs Tuesday and Wednesday, but the activity was enough to give him a chance for his first game action since Week 2, when he suffered a hamstring injury during a loss to the Falcons. Jordan Mason has been capable out of the Vikings backfield in place of Jones, racking up 301 yards from scrimmage and four rushing TDs on 66 touches over the last four outings. Fellow RB Zavier Scott (wrist) also is listed as questionable for Week 8, so the transactions made by Minnesota on Thursday afternoon, like potentially activating Jones from IR, will be telling for who will join Mason as options for the ground game.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Vikings' walkthrough Tuesday.

Jones was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, ultimately making his way back onto the practice field in a limited capacity. The running back has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Falcons, and he's now officially opened a 21-day practice window. Jones will either be activated from IR in that time frame, or he'll be forced to sit out the remainder of the year. With Minnesota facing the Chargers on Thursday Night Football, he seems unlikely to play in Week 8, but nothing is official yet.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Jones (hamstring) has been designated for return from injured reserve, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After spending the past five weeks on IR and missing the requisite four games while recovering from a hamstring strain, Jones is eligible to resume practicing with the Vikings this week. Though Jones didn't appear Monday on the Vikings' first injury report of Week 8, he looks set to take part in Tuesday's walk-through as Minnesota prepares for Thursday's game against the Chargers. O'Connell is leaving the door open for Jones to be reinstated from IR ahead of Thursday's contest, but the team's lack of traditional practices leading up the game could make it difficult for the 30-year-old to demonstrate that he's made a full recovery from the hamstring injury. The Vikings will have a 21-day window to assess Jones' health, so even if he remains out Thursday, he could be added back to the 53-man roster at any point over the next three weeks. Whenever he's reinstated, Jones will likely be deployed in a timeshare out of the backfield with Jordan Mason.

Jones (hamstring) didn't have his 21-day practice window opened Monday and appears unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday against the Chargers.

Jones hasn't played since the Vikings' Sept. 14 loss to the Falcons due to a hamstring strain, but because he's now missed five weeks and four straight games while on injured reserve, he's eligible to return to the 53-man roster at any point. The Vikings haven't publicly commented on where exactly Jones stands in his recovery from the hamstring issue, but the team's decision not to include him on its initial Week 8 injury report suggests that he's not a serious candidate to suit up against the Chargers. Jordan Mason should continue to operate as Minnesota's clear lead back for as long as Jones remains sidelined.

The Vikings placed Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Jones will miss at least four games while recovering from his hamstring injury, making his earliest tentative return date Week 8 against the Chargers on Oct. 23, due to the timing of Minnesota's bye in Week 6. That positions Jordan Mason to take over the Vikings' backfield in a workhorse capacity, beginning Sunday versus the Bengals. Minnesota also has Zavier Scott available as backfield depth, and the team inked Cam Akers to the practice squad Wednesday.

The Vikings plan to place Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell had already indicated that Jones was on track to sit out Sunday's game against the Bengals after straining his hamstring in the Week 2 loss to the Falcons, but the veteran running back will now have to miss at least four games while he heads to IR. Minnesota added Cam Akers to its practice squad Tuesday to bolster its backfield depth, but Jordan Mason looks set to operate as the Vikings' clear No. 1 running back in Jones' absence. Over the first two games of the season, Jones had been part of a timeshare with Mason, playing fewer than half the offensive snaps in both contests while carrying 13 times for 46 yards and adding three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown on four targets.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones (hamstring) is still being evaluated, but the Vikings may be without the running back Sunday versus the Bengals, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones made an early exit from Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Falcons due to a hamstring injury, but even before then he was in a relative timeshare with Jordan Mason. Overall, Jones tallied 23 yards on five carries and didn't haul in his only target on 20 offensive snaps, while Mason had nine carries for 30 yards and two catches (on three targets) for eight yards on 28 plays. If Jones ends up sitting out Week 3, Mason likely would take on the bulk of Minnesota's backfield reps, while Zavier Scott would be a candidate to mix in as well.

Jones (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was having a quiet game prior to his fourth-quarter injury, with just five carries for 23 yards and no catches on one target. Jordan Mason will handle the bulk of the backfield workload for the Vikings if Jones remains out.

Jones rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in all three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Jones saw new backfield mate Jordan Mason outpace him by seven carries and 45 rushing yards, but the former made a significant impact as a receiver. Jones shared the team lead in receiving yards with Justin Jefferson, and he also recorded a nifty 27-yard touchdown grab down the right side of the field with just under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. It remains to be seen if Monday night's ground-attack pecking order will have staying power, but it's conceivable the 30-year-old Jones, who logged a career-high 255 carries over 17 regular-season games in 2024 and came into the season with 1,432 career rush attempts, is slotted into more of a complementary role on the ground behind the younger Mason on the majority of weeks while still retaining a solid pass-catching role.

Jones is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans.

The same applies to star WR Justin Jefferson, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue. As for as Jones is concerned, there's no reported injury in play, so it appears as though the Vikings are simply playing it safe with their top back, a scenario that will give the team's reserve backfield options added opportunities Saturday.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has hinted at reducing Jones' workload and using trade acquisition Jordan Mason as part of a "1A/1B backfield structure", ESPN's Kevin Seifert reports.

O'Connell specifically mentioned goal-line and short-yardage situations as areas where Mason can help, noting that the Vikings "left a lot to be desired" in those situations last year. Jones returns as the starter after signing a two-year, $20 million contract, but it sounds like he's a long shot to match last season's career highs for snaps (700), rush attempts (255) and touches (306). The only disappointment in 2024 was scoring three times on 24 carries inside the 10-yard line, with just seven total TDs (five rushing) despite playing all 17 games and recording 1,546 yards from scrimmage (his most since 2019) at rates of 4.5 yards per carry and 8.0 per catch. While ceding goal-line carries is never a good thing for fantasy value, Mason's physical presence could help the 30-year-old Jones to stay healthy and maintain his strong per-touch yardage production.

The Vikings signed Jones to a two-year, $20 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter adds that this contract includes $13 million in guaranteed salary, and his $10 million average annual salary will make Jones the sixth-highest-paid running back in the NFL by this metric. Jones signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Vikings after being let go by Green Bay last offseason and put up a career-best 1,138 rushing yards across 17 regular-season games in 2024. The 29-year-old dealt with numerous injuries throughout the year including a lingering quad issue that carried into the playoffs. Yet, he logged a career-high 255 rushing attempts and was an integral piece of Minnesota's offense all year. The Vikings appear set to begin their transition to J.J. McCarthy (Achilles) as the team's long-term starting quarterback moving forward, as last year's starter Sam Darnold will likely get a significant payday elsewhere with numerous teams looking for immediate help at starting quarterback. Jones' return will provide some significant stability to the Vikings' offense whether or not McCarthy is

Jones rushed 13 times for 48 yards and secured three of six targets for 12 yards in the Vikings' 27-9 wild-card loss to the Rams on Monday night. He finished the 2024 regular season with 255 carries for 1,138 yards and five touchdowns, a 51-408-2 receiving line on 62 targets and five fumbles (three lost) across 17 games.

Jones didn't look encumbered by the quadriceps injury he'd been dealing with since the Week 18 loss to the Lions, but his opportunities were limited by game script. The veteran's modest final numbers somewhat belied the fact he was a very good fit overall in his first Vikings season, as Jones' rushing yardage total was a new personal best and his receiving yardage tally was the second highest of his career. Jones is due to hit unrestricted free agency when the new league year begins in March after playing 2024 on a one-year, $7 million deal, but there may be mutual interest in a return to Minnesota.

Jones (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation for Monday's wild-card game against the Rams.

Jones is tending to a quad injury that has lingered since he exited the Vikings' Week 17 win against the Packers in the second half. He was able to suit up this past Sunday at Detroit and turned 15 touches into 75 yards from scrimmage. With an illness going around the RB room -- Ty Chandler showed up on Friday's report but doesn't have a designation for Monday's contest, while Cam Akers is listed as questionable due to an ailment -- Jones could be a true workhorse in Minnesota's playoff opener if either or both of his position mates are compromised. As for Jones, the oft-injured back played a full slate for the third time in his eight-year career in 2024, reeling off 1,546 yards from scrimmage and seven total TDs on 306 touches in 17 regular-season contests.

Jones (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Friday.

Jones played through the same injury during last week's loss to the Lions, taking 15 touches for 75 yards while playing 62 percent of snaps on offense. He'll likely play again Monday against the Rams in Glendale Arizona, having managed limited practice participation Thursday and Friday.

Jones (quadriceps) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

For a second week in a row, Jones is enduring practice restrictions due to a quad injury. During Monday's loss at Detroit, he still handled 62 percent of snaps en route to 15 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage, while backup RB Cam Akers had a 31 percent snap share and eight touches for 69 total yards, most of them on a 58-yard rush. Jones will have two more chances to log a full session this week before the Vikings potentially tag him with a designation for Monday's wild-card contest at the Rams.

Jones rushed 10 times for 45 yards while catching five of six targets for 30 receiving yards in Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Lions.

Jones turned in moderate fantasy numbers despite his team wearing this one on the chin. The long-time Packer was able to set a new career high in rushing yards (1,138) in his first year playing with the Vikings. The 29-year-old also produced one of his better receiving seasons after recording 51 receptions and 423 yards in 17 starts with his new club. Jones will draw a favorable matchup in the wild-card round of the playoffs when the Vikings face the Rams' 22nd-ranked rush defense next Monday.

Jones (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Detroit.

He sat out the fourth quarter of last week's win over Green Bay but was never likely to miss the upcoming game due to a quad bruise. With the NFC North and a bye on the line, Jones may even take a larger share of the RB workload than he normally does.

Jones (quadriceps) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Jones was held out of the later stages of this past Sunday's win against the Packers due to a quad injury, but his ability to follow up Wednesday's capped walkthrough with a similar amount of activity a day later bodes well for his chances to be available for Sunday night's showdown at Detroit. Considering the NFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the conference are on the line, he likely will do everything in his power to be active for that contest, though he may cede some RB reps to backups Cam Akers and Ty Chandler if Jones is at less than 100 percent, assuming he suits up.

Jones (quad) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

His ability to practice at all essentially confirms the quad injury he suffered during Sunday's 27-25 win over Green Bay is minor. Jones missed the entire fourth quarter, leaving Cam Akers and Ty Chandler to split backfield work in what ended up being a close game after the Packers scored 15 points toward the end. With Sunday's game against Detroit determining the No. 2 seed in the NFC, it's safe to assume Jones will give it a go if at all possible.

Jones (quad) does not seem to be dealing with a major injury and has a "pretty realistic chance" of playing in next Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against Detroit, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport explains that Jones' injury is a quad contusion and that the Vikings pulled him from Sunday's Week 17 win over Green Bay "out of caution." Minnesota went up 27-10 one play after Jones' final carry of the contest near the end of the third quarter, which could also have been a factor in the team deciding to remove him from the game, though the Packers did make the margin much closer by scoring the next 15 points. It would stand to reason that Jones will suit up in Week 18 if he's at all able to, as the Vikings have a lot to play for -- if they beat the Lions in the season finale, they'll secure the No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC and get a first-round bye, while a loss would push them all the day down to the No. 5 seed.

Jones (quadriceps) recorded 12 rushes for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers. He added four receptions on five targets for an additional 30 yards.

Despite playing with a lead for the entire game, the Vikings remained aggressive on offense by taking to the air 43 times. That was enough to mute Jones' volume to some degree, an issue compounded by the fact that he didn't play at all in the fourth quarter due to a quad injury he suffered earlier in the game, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones' status will be important to monitor ahead of a Week 18 showdown with the Lions that will decide the NFC North as well as the top seed in the NFC.

Jones took 18 carries for 67 yards while catching three of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seahawks.

Jones had to work for his 93 combined yards from scrimmage Sunday, handling 23 total touches en route to modest fantasy numbers. The steady veteran failed to extend his scoring streak to five games, which is the only blemish on an otherwise quality outing. The 29-year-old is now up to 1,046 rushing yards through 15 starts as a Viking, giving him his fourth 1,000-yard season as a pro. Jones will get an opportunity to have a revenge game against the club that let him walk in free agency this past offseason, the Green Bay Packers, next Sunday.

Jones rushed 18 times for 86 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 20 yards in the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Jones fell short of his third 100-yard effort of 2024 and reaching the 1,000-yard mark on the season, but the veteran back still turned in a solid performance that included his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run late in the third quarter. The 30-year-old also extended his streak of games with multiple receptions to four, and rushing yardage total was his second highest since Week 10. Jones appears to be refreshed down the stretch run as Minnesota continues to push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and he'll look to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the Seahawks' run defense in a Week 16 road clash.

Jones (back) was a full practice participant Friday.

Listed as limited for Thursday's walk-through practice, Jones managed an upgrade in short order and figures to handle his usual role Monday night against a Bears defense that he ripped for 129 total yards and a touchdown three weeks ago. He's yet to miss a game this season, despite averaging 18.0 touches per contest in his age-30 campaign.

Jones was limited at Thursday's walkthrough due to a back injury.

Jones has been listed with hip, hamstring, chest and rib issues at various points this season, but he has yet to miss a game after averaging 2.7 absences per campaign in his seven seasons with the Packers. In the end, though, his status will be monitored in the coming days to ensure he'll be available Monday against the Bears.

Jones rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 11 yards in the Vikings' 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

A week after having issues with ball security, Jones turned in a clean performance that also featured his third performance of better than 70 rushing yards in the last five contests. Jones also recorded his second rushing touchdown in the last three games on a 15-yard run with 3:38 remaining to cap off the runaway win. The veteran back heads into a Week 15 home matchup against the Bears on Monday night, Dec. 16 now just 117 rushing yards away from the fourth 1,000-yard campaign of his career.

Jones carries the ball only five times for 22 yards and caught three of four targets for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.

Two early fumbles, one of which Arizona recovered, parked Jones on the bench for much of the first half, and by the time he checked back into the huddle, Minnesota was staring at a big deficit. To his credit, Jones played a big role in the comeback, both with his pass protection and then by hauling in the game-winning score with just 1:13 left on the clock. Jones has put the ball on the carpet four times in the last three games though, an issue he will need to clean up if he doesn't want to lose more touches and snaps to Cam Akers and Ty Chandler in Week 14 against the Falcons.

Jones rushed the ball 22 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Bears. He added three receptions on four targets for 23 yards.

Jones returned to full practices for the first time since suffering an injury to his ribs in Week 10, and he bounced back from a poor Week 11 effort. He accounted for two of Minnesota's longest plays from scrimmage with rushes of 41 and 13 yards, with the former marking his most explosive run of the campaign. That led to Jones topping 100 rushing yards for the second time this season. His two-yard touchdown plunge late in the third quarter also marked his first trip to the end zone since Week 7. Jones' return to health also minimized Cam Akers' role in the offense, making Jones a reliable fantasy back moving forward.

Jones took 15 carries for 39 yards while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.

Neither team could move the ball on the ground Sunday, resulting in rushing averages of 2.5 yards for Minnesota and 1.7 yards for Tennessee. Jones actually finished as the game's leading rusher despite his paltry fantasy output. Cam Akers (10-25-0) continues to cut into the starter's touches, even vulturing a receiving touchdown in this contest. Jones is the superior talent and should remain the preferred fantasy option out of the Vikings' backfield heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

His availability isn't much of a surprise given that the returned to last week's 12-7 win at Jacksonville after the suffering the injury, taking four carries for 17 yards over the Vikings' final two drives. Jones will continue leading the Minnesota backfield, with Cam Akers subbing in for carries here and there.

Jones (ribs) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Jones' practice limitations this week can be attributed to the rib injury that forced him to miss about a quarter of action during this past Sunday's win at Jacksonville.There's been no indication that his status is in peril for Sunday's game at Tennessee, but Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.

Jones (ribs) practice on a limited basis Wednesday.

As expected, Jones is opening Week 11 prep with a capped session due to the rib issue that forced him to miss about a quarter of action this past Sunday at Jacksonville. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Wednesday that Jones "will progress" as the week continues, so a full practice seems likely for the running back Thursday and/or Friday.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones (ribs) may be limited in practice this week but believes the running back will be available for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones missed about a quarter of action in the second half of Sunday's win in Jacksonville due to a chest injury but got back into the contest late in the fourth quarter. During his time off the field, he underwent X-rays that were returned negative, per Seifert. O'Connell called Jones' health concern a rib issue Monday, so pain tolerance likely will be the running back's main impediment in the short term.

Jones rushed the ball 17 times for 88 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

Jones suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter and missed roughly 15 minutes of game time before re-entering the contest late in the fourth quarter. He still led the team in carries and was the only running back to record multiple catches, allowing him to top 100 total yards for the first time since Week 7. Most importantly, Jones spoke to reporters after the game and disclosed that his X-rays came back clean per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, suggesting he should be fine heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Titans.

Jones (chest) returned to Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Jones stayed on the turf late in the third quarter, visited the sideline tent and then was carted to the locker room due to a chest injury. However, he was able to return and log back-to-back carries in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

Jones (chest) was carted to the locker room early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Officially, Jones is questionable to return due to a chest injury, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Prior to his exit, Jones remained on the turf as trainers tended to him and then visited the medical tent before trying to jog on the sideline. If he doesn't reenter the contest, he'll end Week 10 with 13 carries for 71 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 13 yards. Cam Akers likely will take on a large share of the Vikings backfield for as long as Jones is out, but Ty Chandler also is on hand for RB reps.

Jones rushed 21 times for 64 yards and caught all four of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.

Jones struggled to the tune of a 3.0 per-carry average without scoring a touchdown in Sunday's win. All of Minnesota's scoring came via the passing game, while the team's leading rusher struggled to gain traction against a tough Indianapolis front. Jones has scored just three touchdowns through eight starts with Minnesota, but he has produced 810 yards from scrimmage to help offset the lack of scoring. The veteran tailback could be in line for a healthy projection against the lowly Jaguars next Sunday.

Jones rushed 19 times for 58 yards and secured both targets for 37 yards in the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

Jones found running room at a premium against a Rams defense that had experienced its share of struggles up this point in the season, but he did finish tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards as well. The veteran back had dealt with a hamstring injury early in the week but went into the contest without a designation, and he equaled his second-highest carry total of the campaign. Jones now has over 35 receiving yards in four of seven games as well, and he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Colts in a Week 9 home matchup in Sunday night, Nov. 3.

Jones (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at the Rams, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Jones was estimated as limited on Monday's injury report before logging a limited walkthrough Tuesday, so his ability to handle every rep Wednesday indicates the hamstring injury he sustained Week 5 against the Jets in London is behind him. He thus should be poised for his normal workload out of Minnesota's backfield Week 8, which so far has amounted to 17.5 touches per game in six appearances this season.

Jones (hamstring) was estimated as limited on Monday's practice report.

The Vikings didn't actually hold a practice Monday, one day after losing to the Lions, but they are required to release an injury report ahead of Thursday night's quick turnaround against the Rams. Jones missed practice last Wednesday but returned to the field Thursday and Friday and played through the hamstring issue Sunday, finishing with 116 total yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 17 touches versus Detroit.

Jones rushed 14 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 23 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Jones came into the weekend sporting a questionable designation due to a hamstring injury, but there were no signs of any limitations as the veteran back tied his third-highest rushing yardage total of the season. Jones also managed his fifth multi-catch game over the first six contests, and he found the end zone as a runner for the first time since Week 1 on a 34-yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter. Jones retains clear control of Minnesota's backfield heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Rams on Thursday night.

Jones (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

The 5-0 Vikings had a few question marks coming out of a Week 6 bye, chief among them the status of Jones, who sat out the final three quarters of a Week 5 win against the Jets in London due to what was termed a hip injury at the time. The team's first Week 7 practice report instead revealed it to be a hamstring issue, and he managed limited sessions Thursday and Friday before Minnesota listed him as questionable. On Saturday evening, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Jones was expected to play Sunday, barring a setback, and he clearly feels well enough to go. There's a chance Jones cedes some work to backup Ty Chandler, but the former nonetheless has three outings with 100-plus total yards in five opportunities this season, making him more than worthy of fantasy consideration.

Jones (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is expected to play, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jones is expected to play unless he wakes up Sunday feeling any issues with his hamstring, the report adds. What initially was believed to be a hip injury that forced him out of the Vikings' last game Week 5 against the Jets was later clarified to be a hamstring issue. The Vikings held him out of practice this Wednesday, with Jones then returning as a limited participant Thursday and Friday.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Jones likely wouldn't have been able to play last week but may avoid an absence with the help of a conveniently timed bye. The Vikings held him out of practice this Wednesday, with Jones then returning as a limited participant Thursday and taking the field again Friday. He appears truly questionable at this point, with Ty Chandler in line to handle the lead role if Jones is declared inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Jones (hamstring) is participating in Friday's practice, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Jones also participated in practice Monday and was officially listed as 'limited' Thursday, meaning his only absence of the week came during Wednesday's session. The starting running back is doing all he can to be available for Sunday's matchup against the Lions, but Friday's official practice report will likely tag him with designation ahead of Week 7 action. If Jones is unable to play, Ty Chandler will step into the lead backfield role for Minnesota, while Myles Gaskin and Cam Akers will be available to contribute behind him.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

What initially was believed to be a hip injury that forced him out of the Vikings' last game Week 5 against the Jets was clarified to be a hamstring issue Wednesday, keeping him sidelined from the first session of Week 7 prep. Friday's practice report may provide some clarity on Jones' status heading into the weekend, but he appears destined to earn a designation ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Lions. If Jones is inhibited or out this weekend, Ty Chandler would be Minnesota's lead back, with Myles Gaskin and Cam Akers on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Jones (hamstring/hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

It's unclear how much he's doing, but we at least know Jones is participating during the media-access portion of practice. The Vikings reported it as a hip injury after his early exit Week 5 against the Jets, but he's now listed with a hamstring injury after a bye week as the Vikings prepare to host the Lions on Sunday. Ty Chandler will take over as the lead back if Jones can't play, with Myles Gaskin and recent trade acquisition Cam Akers the other main candidates to get RB snaps.

Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a listed hamstring injury.

The Vikings have been calling the health concern a right hip injury that forced Jones out of a Week 5 win against the Jets in London. He even told Alec Lewis of The Athletic on Wednesday that he felt it prior to that game before it flared up, resulting in an early exit. Jones intends to take part in practice Thursday, but so far the team is merely hopeful that he'll be available for Sunday's showdown versus the Lions, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.

Jones (hip) said Wednesday that he hopes to practice Thursday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones was present for Monday's light practice after a Week 6 bye, but he didn't participate Wednesday and thus remains in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Lions. He said he first noticed a problem with his hip prior to a Week 5 win over the Jets, and he ended up missing the final three quarters of that game after aggravating the injury. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, coach Kevin O'Connell said, " [Jones] is going to progress throughout the week and hopefully has a chance to go on Sunday," per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.

Jones (hip) was on the practice field Monday for what Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com described as a light bonus session coming out of the Vikings' bye week.

While the Vikings won't post a practice/injury report until Wednesday, Jones' presence for Monday's light session offers hope that the running back could be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. If however, the hip injury that Jones sustained in Week 5 sidelines him this weekend, Ty Chandler would be next up for Minnesota's carries, with Myles Gaskin in reserve.

Speaking with the media Tuesday, coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones (hip) is considered week-to-week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones suffered a hip injury in Sunday's win over the Jets and was unable to return to the contest. The Vikings' Week 6 bye is hitting at the right time for Jones, but it still sounds like he could miss some time. After Jones left Sunday's game in London, Ty Chandler played a near-every down role en route to a season-high 14 carries for 30 yards, adding 2-9-0 on two targets in the pass game. Myles Gaskin briefly mixed in, handling two carries for two yards and one catch for 11 yards. Chandler becomes a priority pickup off waivers in fantasy this week.

Jones is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right hip Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jones played 16 snaps and tallied 29 yards on seven carries in addition to a 24-yard reception before missing the final three quarters of Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets in London due to the right hip injury. While the severity of the hip issue won't be known until the results of the MRI are read, Rapoport notes that head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the victory that Jones' injury was a short-term concern. Fortunately for Jones, the Vikings are on bye Week 6, which will give him some extra time to recover before the team returns to action Oct. 20 against the Lions.

Jones (hip) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jets in London, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones spent about 10 minutes in the medical tent in the first half before trying to loosen his right hip on the sideline. He initially was deemed questionable to return before his day was considered over after halftime. Jones will finish Week 5 with 53 yards from scrimmage on eight touches, while Ty Chandler and to a lesser extent Myles Gaskin are poised to handle the Vikings backfield for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Jones exited late in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets with a hip injury and is questionable to return, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

Jones tried to loosen up and run on the sideline, but he felt some discomfort and had to shut it down. Ty Chandler replaced Jones to begin the second quarter, and the team will presumably have more information regarding Jones' status after halftime.

Jones rushed 22 times for 93 yards and secured four of five targets for 46 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

While Jones didn't get his highly coveted opportunity to reprise a Lambeau Leap as a member of the opposition, the long-time Packer played a key role in keeping the Vikings' record unblemished. Head coach Kevin O'Connell afforded Jones no shortage of opportunity in his return to Green Bay, with the veteran back logging a season high in rush attempts. Jones' start to his Minnesota tenure has been highly noteworthy, as he's produced at least 93 rushing yards and four receptions in three of the first four games. Jones is still looking for his first rushing TD since Week 1, however, a matter he'll look to address across the pond in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.

Jones carried the ball 19 times for 102 yards and caught five of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

The veteran running back brought in his first receiving score of the season, and second total TD, late in the first quarter on an eight-yard toss from Sam Darnold. The rushing yards were also a season high for Jones, who is averaging a whopping 5.4 yards per carry through his first three games as a Viking. He'll look to keep rolling, and put together a revenge game, in Week 4 against the Packers -- the team he starred with for the first seven seasons of his career.

Jones (hip) practiced fully Thursday.

Jones made a surprise appearance on the Vikings' first Week 3 injury report as limited due to a hip issue, but it ultimately won't stop him from being available Sunday against the Texans. Through two games, he's ceded occasional backfield reps to Ty Chandler, with Jones seeing 30 touches to the latter's 21. The breakdown seemingly has been instituted to keep Jones as healthy as possible due to his cluttered medical chart, but he'll continue to have the upper hand on Chandler as long as he's available.

Jones was limited at practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

Jones' snap shares (55 percent in Week 1, 61 percent in Week 2) have been well ahead of backup Ty Chandler's (35 percent both times) this season. Having said that, Jones has 30 touches for 177 yards from scrimmage and one TD so far, while Chandler has a 21-124-0 line, respectively. Jones' injury history must be accounted for when it comes to the Vikings backfield, but he at least was able to mix into some drills Wednesday, so the team may be exercising caution with the eighth-year pro to ensure he's good to go Sunday against the Texans.

Jones rushed nine times for 32 yards and secured five of six targets for 36 yards in the Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Jones saw backfield mate Ty Chandler outpace him by one carry, although the former had a sizable pass-catching role while the latter was not involved as a receiver. Nevertheless, Jones' longest catch of the afternoon, an 18-yarder late in the third quarter, resulted in a fumble at the 49ers' two-yard line that San Francisco recovered. The miscue could have been very costly in a tight game, and it remains to be seen if it will cost Jones, who only had one additional touch the rest of the game, any opportunities in a Week 3 home matchup against the Texans.

Jones rushed 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 15 yards in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Jones put together a highly efficient performance in his Vikings debut, which included a three-yard touchdown run into the left corner of the end zone early in the first quarter. His longest run was a modest 19 yards, underscoring how consistent he was in achieving meaningful gains throughout the afternoon. Even in a game script conducive to the run, Jones still ceded eight carries to backfield mate Ty Chandler, which highlights the coaching staff's plan to manage the former's workload over the course of the season. Jones gets a tough matchup for his next assignment, however, as the 49ers come into Minnesota for a Week 2 matchup next Sunday.

Jones and most other starters aren't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Mark Craig of The Star Tribune reports.

The Vikings played some starters in their preseason opener against Las Vegas, but Jones wasn't one of them and may now be joined by a longer list of resting players for the second exhibition. Jones is locked in as as the lead back in Minnesota, with the main question at this point being how much work Ty Chandler will get off the bench.

Jones appears unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason opener against Las Vegas after sitting out practice Thursday for an undisclosed reason, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Jones has looked sharp in training camp so this just may be rest for a veteran. However, check to make sure he hasn't been sidelined due to an injury. Jones is expected to start at running back and be a focal point of the offense, with the only question being how many touches he'll share with backup Ty Chandler to keep him fresh.

Jones is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Schefter, Jones' deal with Minnesota is worth $7 million. The move comes just one day after the 29-year-old was released by Green Bay after turning down a pay cut, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. With the Vikings, Jones will have a chance to lead a backfield that also includes Ty Chandler, with Alexander Mattison having recently been released by the team.

The Packers released Jones on Monday after reaching agreement with RB Josh Jacobs on a contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said in February that he expected Jones to be back with the team in 2024 for the final year of his contract. The 29-year-old RB enjoyed one of the best stretches of his career at the end of the 2023 season and into the playoffs, but his $12 million in non-guaranteed compensation for 2024 meant staying with the Packers was never a sure thing. The team ended up releasing Jones less than an hour after reports of an agreement being reached with Jacobs, who now takes over as the lead back in coach Matt LaFleur's well-designed offense. Age and durability are reasonable concerns with Jones, but the strong finish to 2023 should have him in good position to land a starting RB job with another team.

Jones rushed the ball 18 times for 108 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers. He added three receptions on six targets for eight yards.

Jones continued to dominate work out of Green Bay's backfield with AJ Dillon (neck) sidelined and topped 100 rushing yards for the fifth consecutive game. He recorded the Packers' longest play from scrimmage with a 53-yard scamper midway through the fourth quarter -- which helped set up a crucial field-goal attempt -- and averaged 6.0 yards per carry for the third time in his last five contests. After being limited by hamstring and knee injuries for much of the season, Jones ended the campaign in excellent form and should be back with the team in 2024 to lead the backfield.

Jones (knee/finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game in San Francisco, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

For a sixth week in a row, the Packers are managing Jones' practice reps due to the MCL sprain that sidelined him Weeks 12-14. In five appearances in the meantime, he's racked up 606 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs on 109 touches, which includes four straight games surpassing the century mark on the ground. Green Bay is listing fellow running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) as questionable for Saturday's contest, but even if he puts an end to a two-game absence, he likely won't cut into Jones' workload too much considering how the latter has been playing of late.

Jones (knee/finger) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Jones has played in five straight games since missing Weeks 12-14 with a knee injury, including four in a row with at least 20 carries and 111 rushing yards. The Packers continue to limit his practice participation, but Jones' two largest snap shares of the season came in the past two games and he should be busy once again in this Saturday's divisional round playoff game at San Francisco.

Jones was listed as a limited partiipant on Tuesday's practice estimate due to both a knee and finger injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers did not have an official practice Tuesday, so this is just an estimation of what Jones' status would have been. The veteran running back had a monster day in Green Bay's wild-card victory over the Cowboys to the tune of 118 yards and three touchdowns on 21 rushes. Given his heavy workload, it is not surprising to see him on the injury report to start the week. AJ Dillon (neck) has missed three straight games and was listed as a non-participant, so Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson are currently the only two healthy options behind Jones on the depth chart.

Jones rushed 21 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys. He also caught his lone target for 13 yards.

Jones capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown run on what was already his seventh carry of the game. He doubled Green Bay's lead with a one-yard touchdown run in the first minute of the second quarter, then helped the Packers pull away with a nine-yard score in the third. The Packers led 27-0 in the second quarter and 48-16 in the fourth, so the game wasn't as close as the final score suggests. Jones exceeded 100 rushing yards for the fourth consecutive game, so he's peaking at the right time heading into a trip to San Francisco in the Divisional Round.

Jones (knee/finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game in Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers have managed Jones' practice reps since he returned to action Week 15 following three games off due to a sprained MCL. The regimen has worked out well for him over the last three contests, in particular, when he went for at least 110 yards on 20-plus carries each time. With AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) doubtful to suit up Sunday after sitting out every practice this week, Jones should have all the backfield work he can handle against the Cowboys.

Jones (knee/finger) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Jones continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps due to the sprained MCL that sidelined him Weeks 12-14. Since then, he's looked like his vintage self, totaling 475 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 87 touches over the last four contests. The Packers have removed Jones' designation before each of the past three games, so that likely will come to pass once the team posts its final injury report of the week Friday ahead of Sunday's wild-card outing at Dallas.

Jones (knee/finger) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Since returning from a three-game absence due to a sprained MCL back in Week 15, Jones has endured practice restrictions for five weeks running. It hasn't stopped him from accruing 100 yards on the ground for three straight games, a span in which he's racked up 70 touches for 406 yards from scrimmage. Fellow running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) again didn't mix into drills Wednesday, so Jones may remain the Packers' primary running back in Sunday's wild-card-game at Dallas if the former is unable to suit up. First, though, Jones will need to get through this week unscathed in order to do so.

Jones rushed the ball 22 times for 111 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Bears. He added five receptions on five targets for 30 yards.

Jones continued his strong close to the regular season, topping both 20 rushing attempts and 100 rushing yards for the third consecutive game. He tallied long gains of 17 and 14 yards, but he was primarily effective in helping keep Green Bay's offense on schedule with 14 of his carries going for a gain of at least four yards. Jones also saw an uptick in his involvement as a pass catcher, recording a season-high five receptions. He could see a slight downtick in work in a wild-card round matchup against the Cowboys if AJ Dillon (neck) can return, but Jones should serve as the team's lead back in the matchup.

Jones (knee/finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

AJ Dillon (neck/thumb) has been ruled out, further cementing Jones for a large workload in an all-important Week 18 matchup for the Packers. Jones typically plays less than two-thirds of the snaps on offense yet often gets more than two-thirds of the team's backfield touches, and it wouldn't be any surprise if he took on larger workload shares in this situation even if Dillon were available. Patrick Taylor also figures to get some of the snaps/touches that might otherwise go to Dillon.

Jones (knee/finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Jones maintained his same level of activity from Wednesday, though the Packers held a traditional practice Thursday compared to a walkthrough session a day earlier. Even if Jones' reps are capped again Friday, he'll most likely be on the field Sunday against the Bears with few restrictions, given that the Packers can secure a playoff spot with a win in Week 18. He's turned in his two best rushing performances of the season in victories over the Panthers and Vikings in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively, gaining 127 yards on 21 carries in the first matchup and 120 yards on 20 carries in the second.

Jones (knee/finger) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

For a fourth week in a row, Jones is opening it with a limited listing on the Packers' first practice report. As for fellow running back AJ Dillon, he was held out entirely due to a lingering thumb injury and a new neck stinger. It's unclear if Dillon is in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Bears, but Jones could be in line for a true workhorse role in that contest if the former is inactive. In any case, Jones is running on all cylinders at the moment, having compiled 41 carries for 247 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 18 yards over the last two games.

Jones rushed the ball 20 times for 120 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings. He added one reception on one target for 10 yards.

The Packers have been cautious with Jones for much of the season after he suffered a few lower-body injuries earlier in the campaign. However, he's now reached 20 carries in each of the team's last two games and responded with at least 120 rushing yards in each. In Sunday's win over the Vikings, Jones ripped off four rushes of at least 10 yards, the longest of which went for 25. While he hasn't found the end zone since Week 9, Jones is closing the regular season well and should lead the backfield if the Packers reach the postseason with a Week 18 win over the Bears.

Jones (knee/finger) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Considering the sheer number of injuries Jones has dealt with this season, it's no surprise the Packers capped the practice reps of the seven-year pro this week. With his status clarified for Week 17 and AJ Dillon (thumb) also cleared for takeoff, Green Bay's backfield will have its typical breakdown of Jones first with a sprinkling of Dillon as the game goes on. The result for Jones this past Sunday at Carolina was 22 touches for 135 yards from scrimmage on 52 percent of the offensive plays.

Jones (knee/finger) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

After the Packers estimated him as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones maintained that activity level one day later. He followed a similar practice routine last week before avoiding a designation entirely for this past Sunday's game at Carolina, when he churned out 135 yards from scrimmage on 22 touches. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jones enters this weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's NFC North showdown at Minnesota.

Jones (knee/finger) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The same can be said for fellow running back AJ Dillon (thumb), while the Packers' receiving corps continues to deal with a litany of injuries to Christian Watson (hamstring, DNP), Jayden Reed (toe/chest, LP) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle, DNP). For the first time since Week 1, Jones looked like his usual dynamic self this past Sunday at Carolina, taking 21 carries for 127 yards and hauling in one of three targets for eight yards. Assuming he continues to suit up on game day, he could get more involvement in the passing game if any combination of the aforementioned WRs sit out Sunday in Minnesota.

Jones had 21 carries for 127 yards and one reception for eight yards in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.

The 22 touches were five more than Jones recorded in Week 15 and the second most he has tallied in a game this season. It has been tough sledding on the ground for Jones in 2023, but he ran with a purpose Sunday and averaged a stellar 6.1 YPC. Jones and the Packers will next face the Vikings, who limited him to just 46 yards from scrimmage in Week 8 and have fared well against running backs all season. However, Minnesota is also coming off a game in which they ceded 169 yards from scrimmage and three scores to Lions running backs.

Jones (knee/finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones will lead the Green Bay backfield again, though his percentage of the RB touches might be smaller with AJ Dillon (thumb) seemingly on track to return and replace Patrick Taylor as the No. 2 back. The No. 2 role hasn't involved many touches when it's been in Taylor's hands this year, even when he gets around 40 or 50 percent of the snaps. Dillon is listed as questionable after missing last week, and there's a good chance the Packers prioritize their RBs more than usual this Sunday, facing a weak opponent while dealing with numerous injuries at wide receiver.

Jones (knee/finger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones continues to operate with practice limitations as he tends to a lingering knee injury and a new finger concern. In his return from a three-game absence this past Sunday against the Buccaneers, he took 13 carries for 53 yards and recorded four catches (on four targets) for 16 yards. Eight of those rushes occurred in the opening possession of the game, and coach Matt LaFleur noted of Jones' early usage that he was "a little bit cautious" with the running back after that point, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. LaFleur added that Jones was available for every play in Week 15, so assuming he's active Sunday at Carolina, he could be poised for an even bigger workload. Fellow RB AJ Dillon again had a cap on his reps Thursday, with his own availability likely tied to how his broken thumb potentially impacts ball security.

Jones (knee/finger) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones was able to put an end to a three-game absence this past Sunday against the Buccaneers, which was timely with fellow running AJ Dillon sitting out due to a broken thumb. Logging 29 of 60 offensive snaps, Jones took 13 carries for 53 yards and gathered in all four targets for 16 yards. At the same time, Patrick Taylor earned 26 plays on offense and three touches for two yards from scrimmage, and Kenyan Drake notched five such snaps and one rush for no gain. Both Jones and Dillon are kicking off Week 16 prep with capped sessions, so the overall situation will need to be monitored to see who among the duo may be available Sunday at Carolina.

Jones (knee) rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in all four targets for 16 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Making his return from a three-game absence, Jones served as the unquestioned lead back with only Patrick Taylor and Kenyan Drake behind him due to AJ Dillion's (thumb) absence. However, game script eventually turned away from the running game for Green Bay, limiting Jones' overall opportunities. Nevertheless, the veteran back appeared to make it through the game unscathed, and he could be set for an even heavier workload in a Week 16 road matchup versus a Panthers team Green Bay should be able to control the game against.

Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones has missed three consecutive contests due to an MCL sprain, but he'll return to action Week 15 after being listed as limited Wednesday through Friday. The impetus may be the fact that fellow running back AJ Dillon is tending to a broken thumb that will sideline him for the first time this season, but Jones himself seems like the best bet to lead the Packers backfield Sunday considering Patrick Taylor and Kenyan Drake are the other available options. Even during an injury-plagued 2023, Jones has averaged 3.7 yards on his 66 carries, hauled in 19 of 30 targets for 169 yards and scored three touchdowns in parts of seven games.

Jones (knee), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones has missed the team's last two games with an MCL sprain, but he turned in a trio of limited practices leading up to Sunday's game. Though he's trending in the right direction, his status won't become official until shortly before the Packers' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The team's backfield will be worth monitoring generally, as AJ Dillon (thumb) is in jeopardy of missing the contest. If Dillon is out, Jones may be forced into a significant workload even if he's not playing at 100 percent.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones appears to be closing in on his first appearances since Week 11, when he suffered a sprained MCL during a win against the Chargers. As has been the case for the Packers backfield all season, question marks abound, as fellow RB AJ Dillon is dealing with a broken thumb that has left his status for Week 15 up in the air. In the end, the statuses of both Jones and Dillon will receive clarity about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET deadline.

Jones (knee) officially was limited at Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Jones opened Week 15 prep as he finished last week as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, which he maintained into Thursday's session. Coach Matt LaFleur spoke of Jones on Thursday, telling Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site that the team will "have a better indication tomorrow when we have a normal Friday practice." Jones echoed LaFleur not longer after, relaying to Hodkiewicz that he's "feeling better. ... I'm going to take it day-by-day, but I feel confident for Sunday." Jones is putting the finishing touches on his recovery from the sprained MCL that he suffered back in Week 11, and if he's able to return Sunday against the Buccaneers, he may resume his standing as Green Bay's lead runner considering AJ Dillon has yet to practice this week due to a broken thumb. Friday's injury report could be telling for the state of the team's Week 15 backfield.

Jones (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

As of Wednesday's estimated injury report, Jones had strung together four straight limited listings as he draws closer to recovering from the sprained MCL that he suffered Week 11 against the Chargers. So far, he's missed three games in a row as a result of the issue, which allowed AJ Dillon to lead the Packers backfield during that stretch. Having said that, Dillon has yet to practice this week due to a thumb concern, so Jones could have RB reps to himself Sunday versus the Buccaneers if he's able to return and the former is limited or sidelined.

Jones (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

As he did last week, Jones is maintaining his listed activity level as he attempts put an end to a three-game absence due to a sprained MCL that he suffered Week 11 against the Chargers. In the interim, AJ Dillon has handled most of the backfield reps for the Packers, turning 53 touches into 246 yards from scrimmage during that span, but he was listed as a non-participant on the team's first Week 15 practice report due to a thumb injury. With Green Bay's top two running backs dealing with health concerns, Patrick Taylor represents the only healthy RB on the active roster. If Dillon's issue ends up threatening his status for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, the Packers may feel compelled to bring Jones back into the fold, even if he isn't 100 percent.

Jones (knee) is inactive for Monday's contest at the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

After failing to practice at all during Week 12 and 13 prep, Jones mixed back into drills as a limited participant Thursday through Saturday and was given a questionable designation for Week 14. Still, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Monday morning that Jones wasn't in line to return from the sprained MCL that he sustained Week 11. With Jones' lack of availability now confirmed, AJ Dillon will continue to pace the Packers backfield, while Patrick Taylor and the elevated Kenyan Drake are on hand for any RB reps that remain. Jones will turn his focus to getting healthy for Sunday's upcoming matchup with the Buccaneers.

Jones (knee), who is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants, is not expected to suit up, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones looks set to miss a third straight game due to the knee injury he suffered Week 11 versus the Chargers, which sets up AJ Dillon for another opportunity to work as Green Bay's clear lead back. The Packers also have Patrick Taylor on hand as an option to spell Dillon. Official word on Jones' status will arrive at least 90 minutes prior to Monday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Giants, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones has missed the past two games after suffering a gruesome knee injury during the Week 11 win over the Chargers, later diagnosed as an MCL sprain. The 29-year-old failed to practice once during that span, so that Jones managed three straight days with limited participation in practice this week is obviously a positive sign for his availability come Monday. The Packers have historically been careful with soft-tissue injuries, especially in the case of the veteran running back, so fantasy managers still need to pay careful attention to status updates leading up to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday.

Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Matt LaFleur said Jones is doing well after back-to-back limited practices, but the coach declined to make any predictions for availability Monday night against the Giants, merely telling reporters that the oft-criticized playing surface at MetLife Stadium won't be a factor in the decision. A game-time decision wouldn't be surprising, which could be especially frustrating for anyone looking to start Jones or AJ Dillon (groin) with the Packers not playing until Monday. Jones missed the past two games, while Dillon managed to play through the groin injury in both cases en route to 36 touches for 168 yards (without any TDs).

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was back on the practice field for the first time since suffering an MCL sprain in a Nov. 19 win over the Chargers and missing the Packers' subsequent two games. The running back looks like he could have a chance to return to the lineup Monday against the Giants, though he may need to upgrade to full participation in practice by Saturday or at least maintain limited activity for three straight days. Whenever Jones is deemed ready to go, he should move back into a lead role out of the backfield while AJ Dillon drops back to second on the depth chart. Dillon has carried 32 times for 116 yards (3.6 average) and no touchdowns while adding four receptions for 52 yards on four targets while Jones has been sidelined for the past two games.

Jones (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has missed back-to-back games since spraining his MCL on Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Chargers, and the Packers also listed him as a DNP on every Week 12 and 13 injury report. Considering he took part in individual drills Thursday, he figures to be at least a limited participant, but the team's initial Week 14 practice report will reveal his activity level in the first set of on-field work ahead of Monday's road matchup with the Giants.

Coach Matt LaFleur ruled out Jones (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones thus will miss his second game in a row due to the MCL sprain that he sustained Week 11 against the Chargers. He hasn't practiced since then, but he'll be afforded an extra day of rest before the Packers reconvene for on-field work next Thursday ahead of a road matchup with the Giants on Monday Night Football on Dec. 11. In the meantime, AJ Dillon will continue to man Green Bay's backfield, with Patrick Taylor serving as his primary reserve.

Jones (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

A third straight absence from practice suggests Jones likely will miss his second game in a row. AJ Dillon dominated carries in last week's win over the Lions, though third-stringer Patrick Taylor ended up playing nearly as many snaps (48 percent) and should be involved in the offense again Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Jones (knee) took part in Thursday's team stretch but ultimately didn't practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

While fellow running back AJ Dillon (groin) returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday, Jones remains sidelined due to the MCL sprain that he sustained Week 11 against the Chargers. Jones' absence from the Packers' Thanksgiving visit to the Lions thus wasn't surprising on a short week, but his inability to log any on-field work one week later implies a multi-game absence may be in store. Friday's injury report could be telling for Jones' status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

Jones (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Spofford of packers.com reports.

Neither did AJ Dillon, who was listed as questionable with groin injury last week before ultimately suiting up and filling in for Jones as the lead back in a 29-22 win over the Lions. Another absence for Jones would come as no surprise given that he's just a week and a half removed from suffering an MCL sprain. Should both Jones and Dillon miss the upcoming game against Kansas City, the Packers would be left with Patrick Taylor as their top running back.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

One day removed from coach Matt LaFleur telling Ryan Wood of USA Today that Jones was "highly unlikely" to play Week 12, the running back indeed won't be available Thursday due to the sprained MCL that he suffered this past Sunday against the Chargers. After Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) was placed on IR on Wednesday, the Packers are left with AJ Dillon as their potential lead runner, but he's listed as questionable due to a groin issue. If Dillon isn't able to go, either, the team's backfield will be down to Patrick Taylor and James Robinson.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Jones (knee) is "highly unlikely" to play Thursday at Detroit, but he doesn't believe the running back will be placed on injured reserve, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

LaFleur's comment backs up a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN earlier Tuesday that Jones has an MCL sprain and is deemed week-to-week after getting injured this past Sunday against the Chargers. Jones predictably has been listed as a non-participant on both of the Packers' Week 12 practice reports, while AJ Dillon (groin) has been listed as limited and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) has been a DNP on both occasions. Assuming Jones sits out Thursday, Dillon would be in line for the top gig out of Green Bay's backfield, assuming he's healthy enough to play himself.

Jones has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain and is considered week-to-week, making him unlikely to play Thursday at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones went down with a knee injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's eventual win against the Chargers, during which he was carted to the locker room. After undergoing an MRI on Monday, the extent of the damage has been unveiled. Considering Jones isn't slated to be available Thursday and reserve RB Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) isn't practicing this week, AJ Dillon (groin) appears poised to be Green Bay's lead runner Week 12 and potentially beyond, assuming he's able to suit up. Beyond Dillon, Patrick Taylor was signed off the Patriots' practice squad Monday, while James Robinson and Ellis Merriweather are backfield options on the Packers' practice squad.

Jones (knee) was estimated as DNP on Monday's practice reports.

The Packers didn't actually practice Monday but were required to release an injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Lions. Jones was injured early in Sunday's win over the Chargers and had to be carted to the locker room. Reports after the game suggested Jones avoided a serious injury, but Thursday's quick turnaround may be too much to overcome. If Jones doesn't play, the Packers will lean on AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor.

Jones said after Sunday's win against the Chargers that a preliminary test showed that the ACL in his injured knee is intact, and he'll undergo an MRI on Monday to find out the extent of the issue, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

This follows coach Matt LaFleur telling Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that he doesn't believe Jones has a "long term" injury. As such, Jones appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario, with Monday's testing to determine how much, if any, time he may miss moving forward. Reserve running back Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) also was ruled out of Sunday's game, so AJ Dillon is the only healthy running back on the Packers' active roster, while undrafted rookie Ellis Merriweather resides on the practice squad.

Following Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers, coach Matt LaFleur noted that he doesn't think the knee injury Jones suffered in the contest is long term, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Per Demovsky, LaFleur relayed that Jones -- who was limited to four carries and one catch Sunday -- was in good spirits following the contest, but the running back's status will nonetheless need to be monitored closely as Thursday's game against the Lions approaches. If Jones ends up sidelined in Week 12, AJ Dillon would be in line for an expanded workload.

Jones (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Jones has been plagued by a hamstring injury for most of the season, and he now is dealing with a new health concern after he appeared to get his leg stuck in the turf as he was tackled on a carry just minutes before halftime. He'll thus finish Week 11 with four carries for 14 yards and one catch (on two targets) for three yards. With Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) also departing the game for good on the same drive, AJ Dillon is the only healthy running back for the Packers for the rest of Sunday.

Jones suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones got medical attention on the field following a carry late in the second quarter in which his leg appeared to get stuck in the turf as he was tackled. He then was assisted to the sideline tent and eventually took a cart to the locker room, from which the Packers deemed him questionable to return. With Jones sidelined, AJ Dillon should be the main beneficiary out of the Packers backfield.

Jones departed Sunday's game against the Chargers with an apparent leg injury, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Jones' leg seemed to get stuck in the turf while getting tackled at the end of a run late in the second quarter. After getting medical attention on the field and requiring assistance to get to the sideline medical tent, he was carted to the locker room, per Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The nature of the issue isn't known, but AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson will man the Packers backfield for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Jones (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

This will be Jones' fifth straight appearance since missing three of four games with a hamstring injury between Weeks 2 and 5. His role was limited for a couple weeks after returning, but he played 57 and 56 percent of snaps in the past two games while taking 24 and 17 touches. Jones should be busy again this Sunday against a struggling Chargers defense.

Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

The Packers listed Jones as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, and he upheld that activity level as the team took part in an actual practice one day later. The hamstring issue that has lingered since Week 1 is to blame, but he's now been able to play through it in four consecutive games and even handled a normal 41 touches over the last two outings. Still, Jones' status should be watched as the week goes on to make sure he'll be available Sunday against the Chargers.

Jones (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Jones has yet to put the hamstring injury that he sustained Week 1 in the rearview mirror, but he has resumed his typical workload the last two contests, combining for 33 carries for 108 yards and one touchdown and eight catches (on 12 targets) for 45 yards during that span. Assuming he's active Sunday against the Chargers, he'll be taking on an L.A. defense that has given up the 11th-most TDs (eight) and second-most receptions (61) to opposing running backs in nine games this season.

Jones rushed 13 times for 35 yards and caught four of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

Jones struggled to get much going in Sunday's narrow defeat. While he led the Packers in targets, he didn't gain much territory on his few grabs. In the running game, teammate AJ Dillon topped Green Bay with 70 yards on nine carries. The versatile Jones will strive to bounce back at home next Sunday versus the Chargers.

Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers continue to limit Jones' practice reps even after he handled 24 touches and 57 percent snap share in a 20-3 win over the Rams last week. A similar role is possible this Sunday, though perhaps not guaranteed, as AJ Dillon has often taken on more work with Jones bothered by a hamstring injury since Week 1. The bigger concern for Week 10 might be the Packers listing three of their starting offensive linemen as questionable; the good news for Jones is that all three managed some level of practice participation this week.

Jones (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

The Packers continue to take it easy on Jones during the week as he tends to the residual effects of his Week 1 hamstring issue and his attempts to play through it. He finally was unleashed out of the backfield this past Sunday versus the Rams, taking 20 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown to go with four catches for 26 more yards. Meanwhile, fellow RB AJ Dillon has 10 touches for 43 total yards in that contest. Assuming Jones is active Sunday in Pittsburgh, a similar breakdown of reps between him and Dillon likely will come to pass.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Unlike last week, Jones wasn't donning a red non-contact jersey during drills Wednesday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Still, the Packers continue to take it easy on Jones due to the hamstring issue that has lingered since Week 1. He didn't seem worse for wear this past Sunday against the Rams, logging a season-high 57 percent snap share on his way to 24 touches for 99 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. At the same time, AJ Dillon's workload was scaled back to 40 percent of snaps and 10 touches for 43 total yards. Assuming Jones gets through this week unscathed, Green Bay will be operating with its expected backfield breakdown Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Jones rushed 20 times for 73 yards and a touchdown but lost a fumble in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams. He also caught four of six targets for 26 yards.

Jones scored a rare first-half touchdown for the Packers, finding the end zone from three yards to begin the second quarter. Although a fumble hurt his performance, Jones still garnered comfortably his heaviest workload of this season. After dealing with a hamstring injury early on, Jones' stock is trending up ahead of next Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

Jones (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

For a second straight week, Jones avoided a designation on the Packers' final injury report of the week, but the team is humming a different tune regarding the running back this time around. After saying last Friday that he didn't think Jones was "100 percent by any stretch," coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com this Friday that Jones "looked good, had a good week," and he's "ready to cut him loose." If Jones indeed is back to form, he could be good for his typical workload, which amounted to 16.6 touches for 92.3 yards from scrimmage per game and 47 total touchdowns in 62 games from 2019 through 2022.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

For a second straight session to begin the week, Jones went through drills while wearing a red non-contact red jersey, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Jones' lingering left hamstring injury is to blame, which so far his capped him to 29 carries, 10 catches, 244 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in four appearances this season. Friday's practice report will indicate whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones' hamstring issue continues to linger, but the fact he donned a red non-contact jersey Wednesday -- per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic -- was a distinct change from his previous practices while dealing with the injury. The Packers have two sessions remaining this week for Jones to return to all activity, but considering he has yet to receive a full workload in any of his four appearances this season, that may not come to fruition.

Jones carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and caught four of five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Vikings.

Green Bay fell behind early and never mounted a serious challenge, forcing the game plan to move away from the run, but Jones still saw a paltry 11 touches on the afternoon -- matching AJ Dillon's total, and with similar results. Jones hasn't topped even 60 scrimmage yards in a game since Week 1 as he's had trouble staying healthy and has been ineffective when he has been in the lineup. He'll try to build some momentum in Week 9 against the Rams.

Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, though coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the running back is at "100 percent, by any stretch," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones will play for a second straight week but may again take a back seat to AJ Dillon, who had 17 touches for 95 yards in last Sunday's 19-17 loss to Denver. Jones took 11 touches for 57 yards in that contest, and while it's certainly possible his role expands this week against a division rival, there's also a chance Dillon gets more than half the snaps and carries again. It's a tough situation with no clear answers for fantasy managers rostering one or both of the Green Bay running backs.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones followed up no activity on the practice field Wednesday with individual drills one day later as he continues to tend to a left hamstring strain that he suffered in the season opener. He's made just two appearances since then, totaling 17 touches for 71 yards from scrimmage and no TDs. Jones' listing on Friday's injury report will be of keen interest to get insight into whether he's closing in on 100 percent health.

Jones (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's session due to his lingering left hamstring injury, Jones at least participated in individual drills one day later. Coach Matt LaFleur chalked up Jone's absence to being "just a little bit sore" in the aftermath of Sunday's loss at Denver, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. Ultimately, Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work Jones was able to handle.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "He's just a little bit sore, and that's to be expected," LaFleur added. "Hopefully, we can ramp him up and get more snaps out there."

In his second appearance since straining his left hamstring Week 1, Jones was contained to 23 offensive snaps this past Sunday in Denver and handled 11 touches for 57 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, fellow running back AJ Dillon logged 36 plays and had 17 touches for 95 total yards. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Jones stretched with teammates before heading indoors Wednesday, so his absence isn't much of a surprise. Jones will have two more chances to mix into drills this week ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Vikings.

Jones (hamstring) stretched with his teammates Wednesday but then left the field before practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones has missed three of Green Bay's six games and took a backseat to AJ Dillon in two others, including a 19-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. There wasn't any report of a setback, but fantasy managers will need to consider the possibility of the Packers continuing to restrict Jones' workloads even if he keeps suiting up. Week 8 brings a matchup with the Vikings, fresh off a MNF upset win over San Francisco.

Jones rushed eight times for 35 yards and caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

Jones returned from his hamstring injury but seemed to be on a snap count, as teammate AJ Dillon still led the Packers with 15 carries for 61 yards. With Jones being decently efficient when called upon, though, he'll strive to increase his involvement and overall output in Week 8 versus the Vikings.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday in Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones missed three of four games after straining his left hamstring Week 1, but even with the benefit of the Packers' Week 6 bye, he wasn't able to log a full practice Wednesday through Friday this week. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to handle a full complement of snaps, but if he does, he'll push AJ Dillon back to a secondary role in the Packers offense. Considering his lack of availability this season, Jones doesn't have much output to speak of -- 141 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in two appearances -- but he posted at least 1,190 total yards and seven-plus TDs in each campaign from 2019-2022.

Jones (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Denver, intends to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Even with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Jones was listed as a limited practice participant all week due to the strained left hamstring that he sustained back in Week 1. Despite this report, Jones' status won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Denver, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Even with the potential benefit if a Week 6 bye, Jones was listed as a limited practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday due to the strained left hamstring that he sustained back in Week 1. He did look like his normal self while making cuts during individual drills at Thursday's session, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. Still, the Packers haven't outright cleared Jones for Week 7 action, which won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's active, the breakdown of snaps between Jones and fellow RB AJ Dillon is up in the air until the former returns to full health.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

While Jones hasn't yet made it back to full participation, Ryan Wood of USA Today noted Thursday that the running back looked comfortable making cuts on the practice field. Jones benefited from a Week 6 bye and now seems on track to return for Sunday's game in Denver, though there's still a reasonable chance he ends up listed as questionable, especially if he remains limited in practice Friday.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones has yet to log a full session since straining his left hamstring Week 1 at Chicago. Despite missing three of the Packers' next four games, he still isn't back to 100 percent, even with the benefit of the team's Week 6 bye. Jones will have two more sessions this week to prove the health of his hamstring, at which point he may receive a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Denver. AJ Dillon could remain Green Bay's preferred option out of the backfield until Jones is back to 100 percent.

Jones (hamstring) is in pads for Wednesday's practice, de reports.

Jones missed three of the past four games but may be healthy after a Week 6 bye. The Packers play in Denver this Sunday, with AJ Dillon likely to have his role scaled back if Jones is indeed ready.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday in Las Vegas, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Since pulling his left hamstring in the third quarter of a Week 1 win at Chicago, Jones now will have missed three games, with his only appearance Week 4 against the Lions resulting in six touches for 14 yards from scrimmage on a 34 percent snap share.. The Packers have a Week 6 bye, so the team perhaps is hoping the extra time off allows Jones to get closer to 100 percent for the final 12 contests of the campaign. In Jones' stead, AJ Dillon is in line to pace Green Bay's backfield, with Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson available for any RB reps that linger.

Jones (hamstring) is expected to be listed as inactive for Monday night's game against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones is expected to miss Monday's matchup due to a hamstring injury that he played through Week 4, albeit in less effective form. The Packers will benefit from a bye Week 6, meaning by keeping Jones on the sideline he will have nearly another full two weeks to get back to 100 percent form. Jones' status will be made official closer to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but expect AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor to lead Green Bay's backfield in Las Vegas.

Jones (hamstring) is viewed as unlikely to play Monday night against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Initially injured in Week 1, Jones missed Weeks 2 and 3 before returning to face the Lions in Week 4 when he played 20 offensive snaps in the 14-point loss. It's possible he suffered a setback versus Detroit, as he's had 11 days to get ready for Monday's date with Las Vegas. The Packers have a bye next week and may want Jones to just get to 100 percent health for the final 12 weeks of the season. If Jones doesn't play, AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor will handle most of the backfield work.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Jones maintained the same practice cadence that ultimately saw the Pro Bowl running back active for last Thursday's contest, although Jones only received six touches in the aforementioned return. As a result, it does seem like things are trending in the right direction for Jones to be active come Monday, but more information should arrive prior to the primetime 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones returned from a two-week absence last Thursday and got only six touches for 14 yards in a 34-20 loss to the Lions. He's well on his way to suiting up again this Monday in Las Vegas, where he'll presumably occupy a much larger role. Ryan Wood of USA Today noted Friday that Jones' hamstring injury didn't seem to be slowing him down at practice, with the RB sprinting and running full-speed routes without any sign of an issue.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

After sitting out Weeks 2 and 3 due to a strained left hamstring, Jones managed to play 20 of 57 offensive snaps last Thursday against the Lions on his way to five carries for 18 yards and one catch (on two targets) for minus-4 yards. Fellow RB AJ Dillon continued to pace the Packers backfield in snaps (38), but he mustered just five rushes himself for 11 yards. With a week to recover, Jones appears to be in a similar spot to Week 4 prep, but he'll have two more chances to get back to full ahead of Monday's game at Las Vegas.

Jones (hamstring) rushed five times for 18 yards and secured one of two targets for minus-4 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Making his first appearance since Week 1 due to a hamstring strain, Jones didn't have to worry about testing his previously ailing leg too stringently. A game script that saw Green Bay already down 14-3 after one quarter and 27-3 at the half essentially nullified the viability of the Packers' ground attack, leaving Jones tied with AJ Dillon for the team lead in rush attempts. Jones will now have plenty of extra time to get back to full health if he isn't already, as the Packers don't retake the field until Monday night, Oct. 9 against the Raiders following a Week 5 bye.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday against the Lions.

After being listed as limited on five straight Packers injury reports, Jones has been cleared to make his first appearance since his 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown Week 1 at Chicago. There's a chance Green Bay eases Jones into action considering he has yet to log a full practice since pulling his left hamstring on the aforementioned play. Still, Jones will join AJ Dillon as the team's top backfield options Thursday. On the campaign, Jones has 11 touches for 127 yards from scrimmage and two TDs in about two and a half quarters of work.

Jones (hamstring) is expected to play Thursday night against the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones, who last suited up in Week 1, is officially listed as questionable after being deemed a limited practice participant ahead of the contest, but it appears as though he'll be able to return to action Thursday. Per Pelissero, barring any setbacks Jones should be able to log close to his normal allotment of snaps versus Detroit alongside fellow RB AJ Dillon, who is averaging 2.7 yards per carry through three games thus far. Official confirmation of Jones' status will arrive once Green Bay's inactives are posted ahead of the team's 8:15 ET kickoff.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

He's questionable for a third straight week, one fewer than WR Christian Watson, who also has a hamstring injury and is yet to play this season. The Packers have been listing Jones as a limited practice participant since last Thursday, and they certainly missed him the past two weeks with AJ Dillon struggling in a lead role. Patrick Taylor took a lot of work from Dillon in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints, particularly in passing situations.

Jones (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After not holding practice Monday, the Packers resumed on-field work Tuesday with a walkthrough, for which Jones had a cap on his reps. He now has been listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports as he closes in completing his recovery from the left hamstring pull that he suffered Week 1 at Chicago. While he seems to be trending in a positive direction for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wednesday's report ultimately will reveal whether or not Jones will receive a designation for that contest. Jones' availability (or lack thereof) will impact AJ Dillon's standing as Green Bay's No. 1 RB from Weeks 2 and 3.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (hamstring) would have been a limited participant Monday if the team had practiced, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Jones has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, but the starting running back is making progress in his recovery. Green Bay didn't practice Monday after Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints, but Jones' status on Tuesday's practice report should be a key indicator regarding his potential availability for Thursday's home game against the Lions.

Jones (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Despite being listed as questionable for Week 3 action, Jones will miss a second consecutive contest due to the left hamstring injury that he suffered in the season opener at Chicago. He'll thus set his sights on Thursday's NFC North showdown with the Lions, but in the meantime, AJ Dillon again will lead the Packers backfield Sunday, with Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor mixing in behind Dillon.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

On Thursday, Jones made his first appearance in practice since hurting his left hamstring Week 1 at Chicago, getting a limited tag on the Packers' second Week 3 injury report. He'll now enter the weekend with a chance to play Sunday, with his status to e determined about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jones is limited or out, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson are Green Bay's other options out of the backfield.

Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

In his first on-field activity since pulling his left hamstring during a 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown during a Week 1 win in Chicago, Jones operated with a cap on his reps, but he at least looked crisp working in individual drills, which included running routes and catching passes from quarterback Jordan Love, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today. Jones will have one more chance to get back to full before the Packers potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Jones (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

This marks Jones' first visible on-field activity since he pulled his left hamstring in the Packers' season-opening win at Chicago. At the very least, he was taking part in individual drills and also ran routes while catching passes from Jordan Love. Thursday's injury report ultimately will reveal whether Jones was a limited or full participant.

Jones (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones stretched with teammates but then sat out individual drills. He didn't practice at all last week and ended up missing a 25-24 loss to Atlanta, leaving AJ Dillon as the featured back while Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson both got some playing time off the bench. Jones still has a couple more chances to practice before Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at Atlanta, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones thus will miss at least one game due to the hamstring injury that he sustained during a 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the Packers' Week 1 win at Chicago. While he'll aim to get back on the practice field for the first time since that injury during Week 3 prep, Jones will hand off the backfield to AJ Dillon, who mustered just 36 yards from scrimmage on 15 touches against the Bears last Sunday. Behind Dillon, undrafted rookie Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor are the other available options at running back for Green Bay.

Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones was a non-participant at practice all week, which indicated things were trending in this direction. Still, the Packers have not officially ruled him out yet. If that is indeed the case, AJ Dillon would figure to fill in as the starter, while Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor would operate as depth options in the backfield. Jones tweaked his hamstring on a 35-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the Packers' season-opening victory over the Bears.

Jones (hamstring) missed another practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The early exit last week combined with no practice participation this week suggests Jones is less than 50/50 to play and might take fewer snaps/touches than usual even if he does. AJ Dillon figures to fill in as the starter -- a situation that in previous instances led Dillon to more work than a healthy Jones normally would get -- while Patrick Taylor and Emanuel Wilson are the reserve options. Taylor was active ahead of Wilson last week after being called up from the practice squad, but it's unclear if that was about perceived value on offense, special teams or some combination of both. Either way, the Packers will be closely monitored this weekend with Jones and WR Christian Watson (hamstring) both listed as questionable heading into the 1 ET kickoff Sunday.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jones (hamstring) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones' hamstring injury kept him from taking reps with his healthy teammates for the second day in a row, but on a positive note, the running back was able to put in an individual workout off to the side while wearing his helmet, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. While the Packers are hopeful that Jones will make enough progress in his recovery from the injury to suit up Sunday in Atlanta, he may need to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity to have a chance at playing. If Jones ends up being held out this weekend or is handed only a limited role, AJ Dillon would be poised to serve as Green Bay's lead back.

Jones (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones was unable to return after injuring his hamstring at the end of a 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in this past Sunday's win in Chicago. He was seen getting stretched out on the sideline afterward, and coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today on Wednesday that the Packers are "going to give it the course of the week before we make any determination on him." That may mean the team will make a ruling on his availability on Friday's final Week 2 practice report, but more likely he'll be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest in Atlanta. If Jones is limited or sidelined this weekend. AJ Dillon could take on a workhorse role, with undrafted rookie Emanuel Wilson and practice-squad member Patrick Taylor mixing in behind him.

Jones (hamstring) isn't at practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones injured his hamstring at the end of a long touchdown reception in the third quarter of Sunday's 38-20 win over Chicago. He didn't return, and the Packers haven't said anything about the injury other than coach Matt LaFleur telling reporters Monday that Jones was still being evaluated. AJ Dillon took most of the snaps after Jones left, with Patrick Taylor then getting more work in garbage time, but the Packers might also use undrafted rookie Emanuel Wilson (a Week 1 healthy scratch) if they don't have Jones this Sunday in Atlanta.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones (hamstring) is still being evaluated after leaving Sunday's win over the Bears in the third quarter, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers went to Jones early and often in the third quarter, and on a fourth-and-three, Jordan Love found his running back over the middle for a 35-yard catch-and-run touchdown to give Green Bay a commanding 24-6 lead. However, as Jones crossed the goal line, he appeared to be grabbing at his left hamstring. Jones was shown on the broadcast being stretched out by the training staff numerous times throughout the fourth quarter, but he never returned to the field. LaFleur said they didn't need Jones the rest of the way and was encouraged that he was able to jog off the field after the game. Jones had similar comments during his postgame press conference, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him listed on the Packers' initial injury report for Week 2, which will be released Wednesday.

Jones suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Chicago.

After his 35-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the third quarter, Jones appeared to grab at his upper leg as he made his way back to the sideline. He was examined by the medical staff and even stretched out by team trainers before the Packers deemed him questionable to return. If he remains sidelined Sunday, Jones will finish Week 1 with 11 touches for 127 yards from scrimmage and two TDs.

Jones won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers are playing a mix of starters and backups, in part due to injuries and in part due to a desire to keep veterans healthy. Jones' absence seems to be about the latter, as he made a brief appearance in the second week of the preseason and has been practicing since then. He'll next suit up Week 1 when the Packers travel to Chicago for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sun., Sept. 10.

Jones took his lone carry for six yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Saturday's preseason loss to New England.

Jones has started both of Green Bay's preseason games, but he has seen just one carry and one reception (both for six yards) so far this exhibition season. Fantasy managers should not panic, as the Packers are simply trying to keep the star running back healthy as the regular season nears. With Aaron Rodgers leaving for New York, the remaining Aaron should be a focal point of the Packers' offense for quarterback Jordan Love's first season as starter.

Jones is slated to play in Friday's preseason game in Cincinnati, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones will join new Packers No. 1 signal-caller Jordan Love in the starting lineup for the team's exhibition opener. In fact, with only Lew Nichols not in line to suit up Friday, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor and Tyler Goodson, among others, will be available at running back for Green Bay.

Jones worked with quarterback Jordan Love in California this offseason, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones suggested Wednesday that earning Aaron Rodgers' trust had been a big factor in his personal success, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The 28-year-old running back now hopes to form a similar on-field relationship with the Packers' new starting quarterback, hoping his experience as a pass catcher and blocker can help Love thrive. The Packers are again likely to run much of their offense through Jones and power back AJ Dillon, with Love's mobility potentially adding a third component defenses need to be aware of on the ground. Jones had odd stat lines in his final season playing alongside Rodgers, getting only two touchdowns out of a career-high 1,121 rushing yards but then five touchdowns from 395 receiving yards. The receiving production will be tougher to maintain post-Rodgers, though Jones should remain one of the team's pass-catching priorities given how young the Packers are at wide receiver and tight end.

Jones and the Packers agreed Friday to restructure his contract for the 2023 season to an $11 million salary with an $8.52 million signing bonus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones' decision to restructure allows for Green Bay to retain him for the 2023 campaign rather than release him, and as noted by Schefter he will still have two additional years remaining on his deal. The 28-year-old remains an integral component of the Packers' offense, and his presence will be key in maintaining efficient team production in 2023 regardless of whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers ultimately remains the starter. Jones racked up 1,516 scrimmage yards and seven total touchdowns while playing all 17 games in 2022, maintaining an exceptional 5.3 YPC.

General Manager Brian Gutekunst said Friday he expects Jones to be on the Packers during the 2023 season, but didn't rule out a contract restructure to reduce the running back's contract, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Green Bay has a potential 'out' in Jones' contract this offseason, but it appears the dynamic 28-year-old remains in the team's future plans. Jones is currently heading into the final two seasons of his four-year, $48 million contract, however, and a restructure could be necessary for his salary to fit into the Packers' scheme. Green Bay is heading into an offseason that could contain a number of significant decisions, so keeping a versatile player who accumulated 1,516 yards from scrimmage and seven combined touchdowns in 2022 could help ensure some amount of stability on offense.

Jones (knee/ankle) rushed 12 times for 48 yards and a fumble lost while catching three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Lions.

Jones lost a physical battle to Detroit's front seven, as he was seen getting up gingerly after some big hits (including the one he lost a fumble on). The 28-year-old battled minor injuries throughout the season, but he still finished with 1,516 yards from scrimmage and seven combined touchdowns. Jones should continue to be the focal point on offense for a Green Bay squad with an aging quarterback and a raw receiving corps.

Jones (knee/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones has dealt with lower-body injuries throughout the second half of the season, but he's mostly played well all the same and still gets a few more snaps than AJ Dillon most weeks. Dillon's recent dominance of goal-line work has taken a chunk out of Jones' fantasy value, but it is possible the latter gets more work Sunday night (and then maybe in the playoffs).

Jones (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough as he continues to deal with lingering knee and ankle issues. Since initially getting hurt during a Week 9 loss at Detroit, he's had a huge range of outcomes over the last seven games, tallying between eight and 26 touches per week. Friday's practice report ultimately will reveal whether or not Jones goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

Jones (knee/ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Jones has been a mainstay on Packers injury reports for the second half of the campaign due to various lower-body injuries. Currently, knee and ankle issues are conspiring to impact his reps, but he still was able to tally 16 touches for 113 yards from scrimmage on 40 percent of snaps during this past Sunday's win against the Vikings. In that same game, fellow running back AJ Dillon had a 46 percent share of snaps and 12 carries for 41 yards and one touchdown. Assuming Jones is able to play through the pain Sunday night versus the Lions, he'll again team with Dillon out of Green Bay's backfield.

Jones carried the ball 14 times for 111 yards and caught two of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Vikings.

Green Bay ran away with this one early, but Jones didn't need many touches to record his first 100-yard performance since Week 10. The 28-year-old has now produced his third 1,000-yard season in the last four years, and he's only 32 yards short of a new career high heading into the Packers' must-win Week 18 game against the Lions.

Jones (knee/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Jones has dealt with lower-body injuries throughout the second half of the season, including a rolled ankle this past Sunday in a 26-20 win over Miami. He nonetheless logged at least four snaps in each quarter of the game, though he finished with only six carries and two targets (compared to 11 and three, respectively, for backfield mate AJ Dillon). The absence of an injury designation on Friday's final report is good news, but there is still some chance Jones again handles a lesser role compared to the large workload advantage he had over Dillon earlier this season. Both have merit as Week 17 fantasy plays against a struggling Minnesota defense.

Jones (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones has been dealing with lower-body injuries since Week 9, with the most recent issue stemming from him getting his ankle rolled up on this past Sunday at Miami. He actually logged his lowest snap share (38 percent) of the season in that contest and matched his campaign low with eight touches for just 34 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, fellow Packers back AJ Dillon went for 48 total yards and a rushing TD on 13 touches and a 58 percent share of plays. Assuming Jones is active Sunday against the Vikings as he's been all year long, the breakdown of reps between him and Dillon may be contingent on Jones' health.

Jones (knee/ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Despite dealing with a knee issue during Week 16 prep, Jones was able to suit up this past Sunday at Miami, but his workload was scaled back after his ankle was "rolled up on" on his first carry of the second half, the running back told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette afterward. Jones ended up playing 25 of 66 offensive snaps on his way to eight touches for 34 yards from scrimmage, while AJ Dillon notched 13 touches for 48 total yards and a rushing TD on 38 plays. With Jones tending to a pair of health concerns at the moment, his status will be one to watch as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches.

Jones said after Sunday's 26-20 win at Miami that his ankle was "rolled up on" on his first carry of the second half, but he remained available to the Packers offense, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Jones had a meager performance for his standards Week 16, recording six carries for 25 yards and hauling in both targets for nine yards. The eight touches matched his fewest of the campaign, which last occurred back in a season-opening loss at Minnesota. Jones' comment after Sunday's game help to explain his lack of usage, and his status now will be monitored as the Packers prepare for a Week 17 matchup with the Vikings next Sunday, Jan. 1.

Jones (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Coming off a 21-touch outing in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams, Jones was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the Packers never indicated that he was dealing with any sort of setback coming out of the Week 15 contest. The fact that Jones won't be carrying a designation into Christmas Day implies that his limitations were most likely maintenance-related, so he shouldn't face any major restrictions when he takes on the Dolphins. That being said, Jones may not be a safe bet to clear 20 touches for the second week in a row, as the Packers were able to find plenty of work for both him and AJ Dillon on Monday while they sat on a lead against a non-threatening Rams offense for most of the night. A road matchup with the playoff-hopeful Dolphins could result in the Packers leaning more heavily on quarterback Aaron Rodgers rather than the ground attack.

Jones (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After enduring a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones maintained that activity level one day later as the Packers resumed Week 16 prep with a normal session. He was dealing with ankle and/or shin issues prior to his last five appearances, but this week a knee injury is impacting his on-field work. There's been no indication that Jones is in danger of sitting out Sunday at Miami, but Friday's practice report will indicate whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation.

Jones was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a knee injury.

Since making an early exit from a Week 9 loss at Detroit, Jones has been alternatively listed with ankle and shin issues on Packers injury reports. As the team gears up for Sunday's game at Miami, though, he's dealing with a new health concern. Jones generally has been able to handle a full workload in five contests in the meantime, averaging 18.8 touches for 98.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three total TDs. Assuming he's able to gain clearance to play this weekend, per usual, he'll again share the backfield with AJ Dillon, who left Monday's win against the Rams to be checked for a concussion but avoided entering the protocol.

Jones rushed 17 times for 90 yards (one fumble lost) and caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams.

Jones took full advantage of the absence of Aaron Donald (ankle) on Monday, gashing the opposition for his highest rushing total since Week 10. The 28-year-old's lone blemish was a lost fumble that occurred when he was turtle-shelled on top of a Los Angeles defender and stripped by Jalen Ramsey. Co-starter AJ Dillon (11-36-2) left the game in the second half with a concussion and did not return. Jones would be in line for a hefty workload if Dillon isn't cleared ahead the Packers' Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins on Christmas Day.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game against the Rams, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones' practice reps were capped during the entirety of Week 15 prep, but the ankle issue that has lingered since Week 9 won't keep him from suiting up on game day. He'll be facing an L.A. defense without the services of Aaron Donald (ankle), so Jones will have more room to operate while working in tandem with AJ Dillon out of Green Bay's backfield.

Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Jones hurt his lower leg in a Week 9 loss to Detroit and has been a regular on the injury report ever since -- typically as a limited participant -- but he still hasn't missed a game this season. He was, however, limited to 32 percent snap share in the last game before Green Bay's Week 14 bye, missing a chunk of the second half with what was deemed a shin injury at the time. He returned to the game, and after a bye it'll be a surprise if he's not able to play Monday night against the Rams.

Jones (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has been tending to what has alternatively been termed an ankle or shin injury since exiting a Week 9 loss at Detroit. He logged three of his five largest snap shares of the season Weeks 10 through 12, before he left but ultimately returned to the Packers' last game Week 13 in Chicago. In that last contest, Jones turned 14 touches into 50 yards from scrimmage on 38 percent of snaps, while fellow running back AJ Dillon reeled off 119 total yards and a rushing score on 21 touches and 68 percent of the plays. Jones will have two more sessions this week before the Packers potentially give him a designation for Sunday's outing against the Rams.

Jones was on the field for the Packers' unofficial practice session Tuesday following the team's Week 14 bye, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

In the Packers' last game Week 13 against the Bears, Jones was managing a shin injury that caused him to exit the contest at one point, but he was ultimately cleared to return and finished with 50 yards from scrimmage on 14 touches (nine carries, five receptions) in Green Bay's 28-19 win. Though Jones was less than 100 percent by the end of the Bears game, the week off appears to have him in a better spot on the health front heading into Week 15. Jones should be well-positioned to deliver a bounce-back performance Monday against a depleted Rams squad that could be missing standout defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle).

Jones was limited by a shin injury in Sunday's 28-19 win over the Bears, rushing just nine times for 26 yards but catching all five of his targets for 24 more yards.

Jones was sidelined for most of the second half, paving the way for teammate AJ Dillon to post a season-high 119 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Even when Jones reentered Sunday's contest late, he was twisted awkwardly on a tackle. Although his production suffered from his reduced role, Jones at least now embarks on Green Bay's bye week, giving him extra time to get healthy ahead of Week 15's Monday night game versus the Rams.

Jones (shin) reentered Sunday's contest at Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has been tending to a lower-leg injury since he was knocked out of a Week 9 loss in Detroit. He seemingly aggravated it Sunday, but he'll attempt to gut it out. Having said that, Jones could yield more of the backfield reps to AJ Dillon as the game goes on.

Jones exited Sunday's game against the Bears with a shin injury.

Before being forced out of the contest, Jones carried four times for four yards and caught three passes for 20 yards. In Jones' absence, AJ Dillon is in line for added Week 13 backfield touches for the Packers.

Jones (shin/glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Chicago, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Neither does backfield mate AJ Dillon, who was also a limited practice participant throughout the week (with a quad injury). It's a good matchup for both against a Bears defense that lost its two best front seven players in trades earlier this season, and the Packers could favor the run more than usual with QB Aaron Rodgers (ribs/thumb) seemingly more banged up than this running backs. Rodgers also avoided a game designation, but he did mention earlier this week that he'd try to keep in an open mind if the Packers fall out of the playoff hunt and want to give Jordan Love a start or two late in the season. For now, it'll be Rodgers and Jones leading the way as the Packers desperately cling to their fading wild-card hopes.

Jones (shin/glute) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones maintained his activity level from one day prior, as did AJ Dillon (quadriceps, limited Thursday). Considering both running backs have been able to log at least individual drills this week, neither player seems in danger of sitting out Sunday in Chicago. Still, the statuses of Jones and Dillon will continue to be monitored, with Friday's injury report potentially clearing up the situation entirely.

Jones (shin/glute) was limited in practice Wednesday.

While Jones has been a regular on Packers injury reports since he was knocked out of a Week 9 loss at Detroit, fellow running back AJ Dillon has avoided them until this week, which he also kicked off as limited due to a quadriceps issue. Consequently, the statuses of both players will need to be watched to get a sense of if their respective abilities to play are in danger for Sunday's game at Chicago. The next two days of prep will determine whether or not Jones and/or Dillon head into the weekend with a designation.

Jones (shin/glute) rushed 12 times for 43 yards and caught three of four targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.

Jones flashed his skills as a receiver when he ran a crisp route to the back of the end zone and made a leaping grab over a defender for a touchdown in this offensive shootout. AJ Dillon chipped in 84 yards and a touchdown of his own on 11 touches as the veteran back duo continues to shoulder the offensive load for a young, improving receiving unit. Aaron Rodgers (ribs) left the game late in the second half and his status for Week 12 is currently unknown. Regardless of who is under center, expect Jones to be heavily involved in the offensive gameplan against the Bears on Sunday.

Jones (shin/glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Jones has been dealing with a lower leg injury since Week 9 and was also listed with a glute issue this week, but there was never any indication of his Sunday availability being in doubt. He'll continue to lead the Green Bay backfield ahead of AJ Dillon, though both tend to get a bunch of carries and their cumulative fantasy production has decreased this year with the Packers no longer among the heavyweights in the NFC.

Jones (shin/glute) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Jones continues to deal with a shin injury, but this week a glute issue also is being listed next to it, inhibiting his reps for a second session in a row. Friday's practice report could clear up his status entering the weekend, but if he's questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff doesn't provide many places to turn for RB help if he's limited or out. Currently, AJ Dillon is the only other backfield option on the Packers' active roster.

Jones (shin/glute) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has been tending to a lower left leg injury since a Week 9 loss to the Lions, and now a glute issue has been tacked on to him on the first Week 12 practice report. Still, he logged a typical snap count the past two games en route to 44 touches for 216 yards and one rushing TD. Assuming he gets cleared for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, Jones should continue to receive the larger share of the backfield reps ahead of AJ Dillon, who tallied 20 touches for 88 total yards and no scores in that same two-game sample.

Jones rushed 12 times for 40 yards and secured six of seven targets for 20 yards in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch and committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.

Jones unsurprisingly had a tough time against the Titans' stalwart road run defense, which came into the game allowing a miserly 60 rushing yards per away contest. However, he did manage to put together a serviceable performance thanks to his pass-catching contributions and two-point conversion grab, with his reception total his second highest of the season. Jones will hope to get his production on the ground back up to his standards in a potentially favorable Week 12 matchup on the road against the Eagles inconsistent rush defense a week from Sunday night.

Jones (shin) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Titans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

For the second consecutive week, Jones' practice reps were capped due to first an ankle injury and then a shin issue. Still, neither of them will stop him from suiting up for the 11th time in as many contests on the campaign. In a Week 10 against the Cowboys, Jones turned a season-high 26 touches into 156 yards from scrimmage and one score on the ground.

Jones (shin) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.

After exiting early in the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Giants with the shin injury, Jones approached this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys without a designation even though he was limited in practices Wednesday through Friday. He proceeded to carry the ball a season-high 24 times in the Packers' 31-28 overtime win over Dallas, finishing with 138 yards and a touchdown. With a quick turnaround for Green Bay's Week 11 matchup with the Titans on Thursday, the Packers could aim to manage Jones' workload to some degree, but the shin injury doesn't look to be anything that will prevent him from suiting up.

Jones was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate with a shin injury.

Last week, Jones also was listed as limited due to the ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 9 loss at Detroit, but it didn't impact him on the field Sunday against the Cowboys, when had a season-high 26 touches for 156 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. This time around, a different health concern has resulted in a similar listing on the first Week 11 practice report. Jones will have opportunities Tuesday and Wednesday to put himself in a position to avoid a designation for Thursday's game versus the Titans.

Jones rushed 24 times for 138 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over Dallas.

The Packers had a clear gameplan to attack Dallas' premier pass rush with its ground game, and Jones led the charge with his fourth 100-yard game of the season. It hasn't been all roses for the star running back, as he has produced five games of 50 or less rushing yards through 10 weeks. Overall, the 27-year-old is still producing like an RB1 while boasting a career best 5.6 yards per carry. Jones will face a stiff test against Tennessee on a short week Thursday.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

The Packers have a crowded Week 10 injury report but at least got a lot of good news on the offensive side of the ball Friday, with Jones, Aaron Rodgers (thumb), WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) and WR Sammy Watkins (knee) all avoiding game designations. Jones missed the fourth quarter of last week's loss to Detroit after injuring his ankle late in the third quarter. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, and now will suit up against one of the NFL's better defenses.

Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers are taking it easy on Jones after he departed the team's Week 9 loss at Detroit in the second half due to a left ankle issue. On a positive note, he's been able to take part in back-to-back sessions, albeit with a cap on his reps, and has one more chance to get back to full before he potentially enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. If Jones is limited Week 10, he could cede some RB reps to AJ Dillon and, to a lesser extent, Kylin Hill.

Jones (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones didn't play beyond the middle of the third quarter this past Sunday at Detroit due to a left ankle injury. Subsequent tests, including an X-ray, returned negative, putting Jones on a path to play Sunday against the Cowboys. Jones' ability to mix into drills Wednesday generally supports that notion, but his status will continue to be watched to ensure he'll be available this weekend.

Jones (ankle) is practicing Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It was reported Monday that the Packers don't expect Jones to miss time after his early exit from a loss to the Lions on Sunday. With X-rays negative and the running back already practicing, he's on track to play Sunday against a tough Dallas defense.

Jones (ankle) received negative X-ray results Monday and "should be able to play this week" according to a source familiar with the situation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones' encouraging injury news is an extremely beneficial development for a Packers team that also saw Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Christian Watson (concussion) depart during Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions, and can ill afford to lose more playmakers on offense. It's too early to say whether Jones will return to action Week 10 against the Cowboys before seeing what he does in practice, but it's certainly encouraging that he has a chance to suit up. If Jones is limited in any capacity come game-time, AJ Dillon would likely stand to handle an increased backfield role.

Jones is scheduled to undergo additional tests Monday on his left ankle injury after initial X-rays were inconclusive following Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport suggests that Jones will likely require an MRI and perhaps a CT scan for the Packers to gain clarity on the injury that knocked the running back out of Sunday's game and resulted in him sporting a walking boot afterward. At this stage, Jones' availability for the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Cowboys and beyond is uncertain, potentially setting up top understudy AJ Dillon for an expanded role on offense over the back half of Green Bay's schedule.

Following Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions, Jones was sporting a walking boot on his left foot, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Per Schneidman, the running back -- who left Sunday's game early with an ankle injury -- "had a very noticeable limp" in the locker room afterward. As a result, Jones' status for next weekend's game against the Cowboys will need to be closely monitored. If he's out or limited in Week 10, added carries will be available for AJ Dillon, with Kylin Hill in the mix for increased complementary snaps.

Jones (ankle) didn't return to Sunday's 15-9 loss at Detroit, finishing Week 9 with nine carries for 25 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 20 yards.

In the middle of the third quarter, Jones jogged to the locker room and eventually was deemed questionable to return due to an ankle injury. After that, he was seen in the sideline in uniform but without a helmet, while AJ Dillon and Kylin Hill earned the backfield touches for the rest of the game. Jones' status for next Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys now will need to be monitored as the week continues.

Jones injured his ankle during the second half of Sunday's contest in Detroit.

Shortly before the Packers scored for the first time Sunday, Jones was seen jogging to the locker room, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, and termed questionable to return due to an ankle issue. If Jones is forced from the contest, AJ Dillon and 2021 seventh-round pick Kylin Hill will be Green Bay's remaining healthy running backs.

Jones rushed 20 times for 143 yards and caught four of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Jones produced a more traditional RB1 stat line after looking more like a wide receiver against Washington last week (nine catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns). The dual-threat back ripped off consistent big gains and did everything but score, which has been a common trend for him in 2022. After generating double-digit touchdowns in three consecutive years, the 27-year-old has just four (one rushing) through eight games. Jones will look to correct that slight deficiency in a juicy matchup against a porous Lions defense next Sunday.

Jones rushed eight times for only 23 yards but brought in nine of 10 targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 23-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

The Packers ran the ball only 12 times overall in their third straight loss, but Jones more than made it up to fantasy managers with his work through the air. The versatile veteran paced the Packers in receptions and trailed Allen Lazard by only two yards for a share of the team lead in that category as well. Jones' second score, a 21-yard grab down the left sideline, put Green Bay within two points, but a last-ditch drive fell short. Jones' pass-catching production was a season-best effort for him across the board, and he'll look to play an integral part again during a Week 8 Sunday night road showdown versus the Bills.

Jones rushed nine times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

Jones continued to be puzzlingly underused in the first half, garnering just four touches despite Green Bay's offense struggling and teammate AJ Dillon being part of a fumbled handoff exchange. Although Jones got more involved after halftime, he found little room to maneuver, making for a season low in scrimmage yards. With the Packers offense in need of improvement ahead of Week 7's game versus the Commanders, Jones represents a key playmaker to highlight, but having gone four straight games without a touchdown amid some frustrating management, his stock carries a hint of uncertainty.

Jones carried the ball 13 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Giants. He added two receptions for 17 yards.

Jones dominated touches out the backfield, out-carrying AJ Dillon 13-6. He regularly found room to run as both a rusher and pass catcher, ripping off several gains of at least seven yards. Even so, Jones was unable to replicate the efficiency he showed through the first four games of the season -- leaving him just shy of 100 total yards. Further hurting Jones' fantasy value is Green Bay's struggles on offense, as he has only two touchdowns on the season -- both of which came in Week 2 against the Bears.

Jones rushed 16 times for 110 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Patriots. He also caught three of four targets for five yards.

Jones rebounded from a down Week 3 outing by being his usual dynamic self. The tailback has averaged over 6.5 yards per carry in three of Green Bay's four games so far, and despite posting a season high with 16 rushes Sunday, teammate AJ Dillon was still handed one more carry than him. While Dillon managed 84 scrimmage yards on his 18 total touches, Jones hit the 115-yard mark for the second time in three games. One of the league's most efficient playmakers, Jones will look to keep it rolling against the Giants in London next Sunday.

Jones rushed 12 times for 36 yards and caught three of four targets for 11 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Buccaneers.

Jones found little room in the ground game after a wildly efficient first couple weeks. To make matters worse, he coughed up the ball on the Tampa Bay two-yard line after a second-quarter catch, erasing a likely scoring opportunity for Green Bay. While that miscue halted the team's momentum, Jones should still get plenty of chances to bounce back in Week 4 versus the Patriots.

Jones rushed 15 times for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears. He also caught all three of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown.

Jones gave the Packers a 10-7 lead with a 15-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter, then found the end zone again before halftime from eight yards out on a touch pass from Aaron Rodgers. A 36-yard burst put Jones over the 100-yard rushing mark early in the third quarter. Meanwhile, AJ Dillon mustered only 67 scrimmage yards on 19 touches. After being out-touched 15-8 by Dillon in Week 1, Jones seems to have restored his place as the top option in Green Bay's backfield heading into a Week 3 matchup with the stingy Tampa Bay run defense, though both running backs should continue to play sizable roles.

Jones rushed five times for 49 yards and caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Vikings.

Jones was rather efficient on the ground, helped by a game-long rush of 29 yards during the second half. However, he surprisingly only garnered a handful of carries all game, whereas teammate AJ Dillon rushed 10 times, led Green Bay in receiving and scored the team's only touchdown. While both Jones and Dillon are likely to split snaps all year, the Packers could aim to get Jones more touches in Week 2's matchup versus the Bears.

Jones isn't expected to play in the final preseason game with the Packers holding out their top players to prepare for Week 1 at Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones and AJ Dillon, among others, haven't played at all this preseason. There's no doubt both backs will have key roles in the opener, but it's less clear if the backfield split will look more like early 2021 (advantage: Jones) or late 2021 (closer to 50/50, though still more Jones than Dillon). The Minnesota defense Jones faces Week 1 could look different from past years as well with new DC Ed Donatell expected to use plenty of 3-4 looks, but a lot of key players are the same, including linebacker Eric Kendricks, edge rusher Danielle Hunter, and safety Harrison Smith.

Jones isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason contest versus the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

With all of Jones, AJ Dillon and Kylin Hill (PUP, knee) unavailable, Patrick Taylor, Tyler Goodson and Dexter Williams will compose Green Bay's backfield in the team's second exhibition. Jones' last chance to make an appearance this preseason arrives Thursday at Kansas City.

Jones and AJ Dillon split the first-team reps during Green Bay's Family Night event Friday, according to acmepackingcompany.com.

It is anticipated that Jones and Dillon will fairly evenly share the work in the Packers' backfield during the season ahead, and Friday's snap distribution did nothing to change that, as Dillon got 15 first-team reps to Jones' 14. That pattern caps the upside a bit for both players, but but that does not mean they can't be fantasy assets. Both Jones and Dillon racked up more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage last season, and the running backs figure to be featured plenty on a roster lacking proven options at the pass-catching spots.

Jones restructured his contract with the Packers on Thursday to create roughly $3 million in cap space for the 2022 season, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Green Bay converted $3.85 million of Jones' salary for 2022 into a signing bonus and added two voidable years to the deal. The news comes one day after Kenny Clark agreed to a similarly significant restructure, moves which may signal the team's intention to keep its current roster intact relatively intact and target another playoff run. Looking ahead to the 2022 campaign, Jones stands to once again be deployed as one of the Packers' top offensive playmakers while sharing backfield work with teammate AJ Dillon.

Jones rushed 12 times for 41 yards and brought in nine of 10 targets for 129 yards during the Packers' 13-10 divisional-round loss to the 49ers on Saturday night.

Jones led the Packers in rushing yards, but it was his pace-setting receiving yardage tally that made his night a spectacular one for fantasy purposes. The fifth-year back also tied Davante Adams for the team lead in receptions, with the highlight of his night a spectacular 75-yard catch and run down the right sideline just before halftime. Jones logged his fewest carries since 2018 this past regular season as backfield mate AJ Dillon increasingly expanded his complementary role with strong play, and both backs are likely to be deployed in a similar arrangement in the 2022 campaign.

Jones (knee) practiced fully Tuesday.

Typically, Jones has had some sort of practice limitations at the first practice of the week since hurting his knee Week 10. With the benefit of the Packers' first-round bye, though, he was able to handle every rep during Tuesday's session, displaying his overall health. Jones and AJ Dillon thus are unimpeded as the team prepares for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers.

Jones (knee) practiced Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

It's a solid hint that he would've played in the Week 18 game at Detroit if the Packers hadn't already clinched a playoff spot. As is, Jones sat out for just the second time all year, and now figures to return for a divisional-round matchup against either the Rams, Cardinals, 49ers or Eagles, depending on what happens in the wild-card round.

Jones (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday at Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers official site reports.

Jones has been tending to a knee injury that forced him to sit out Week 11 at Minnesota. While he's been able to play in the meantime and again was limited in practice during Week 18 prep, the Packers won't take any chances with their No. 1 running back, allowing him two weeks to rest up before the team's playoff opener in the divisional round. With Jones on the sideline, AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor are the available options out of Green Bay's backfield in the regular-season finale.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Matt LaFleur said he'll play his starters, including QB Aaron Rodgers, who has dealt with an injury of his own throughout the second half of the season. Jones, of course, plays a more physically demanding position, and the Packers have a well established history of being careful with his workloads. It thus seems unlikely that he'd see more than a dozen or so touches this week, but it shouldn't be shocking if he suits up and takes some snaps, given that he's played in each game since Week 11. The Packers and Lions are part of the early slate of games this Sunday, scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.

After having his reps capped at Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones maintained that activity level in the Packers' second session of Week 18 preparations. If precedent is any indication, he'll ditch his designation entirely for a fifth consecutive week upon the release of the team's final injury report Friday. During the preceding four-game stretch, Jones compiled 53 touches for 328 yards from scrimmage and three TDs, while fellow running back AJ Dillon tallied 51 touches for 245 total yards and three scores of his own.

Jones (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

As has been the case since missing a Week 11 loss at Minnesota, the Packers are capping Jones' practice reps due to a knee issue. As he puts it further in the rearview mirror, he's also become more effective as both as runner and pass catcher, culminating with 13 touches for 106 yards from scrimmage this past Sunday against the Vikings. While his availability for a Week 18 visit to Detroit isn't in question, Green Bay may opt to limit Jones' snap count with the postseason in mind.

Jones rushed eight times for 76 yards and caught five of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-10 win over Minnesota.

Jones was dealing with a minor knee injury during practice this week, but he was cleared for this matchup and looked explosive in limited touches. The 27-year-old was out-touched by AJ Dillon 16 to 13, with the latter getting both of Green Bay's rushing scores. The Packers now boast a dynamic one-two punch in the backfield, with Jones seeing action when the offense is in attack mode, and the beefier Dillon coming in to grind away the opposition when Green Bay is protecting a lead. With nothing left to play for before the playoffs, it will be interesting to see how much playing time -- if any -- Jones and the rest of the key starters receive against the Lions next Sunday.

Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Jones has been a limited participant in nearly every practice since he missed Week 13 with a knee sprain. In three games since the absence, he's taken 30 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown, with 10 catches for 63 yards and two TDs on 11 targets. AJ Dillon got more carries in Jones' first game back, but it was the veteran who led the Packers the past two weeks with 13 carries against Baltimore and 12 against Cleveland.

Jones (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Such is life for Jones on the practice field since sitting out a Week 11 road matchup with the Vikings. In the past two games, he's handled the larger share of backfield reps over AJ Dillon, earning 32 touches to the latter's 20. Assuming the status quo reigns and he's available Sunday versus Minnesota, Jones again should be on the field for more snaps than Dillon.

Jones (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

The Packers have been managing Jones' practice reps since he missed Week 11 at Minnesota due to a knee issue. While he played a close second fiddle to AJ Dillon in his first two games back in the lineup, Jones has taken on more snaps en route to 32 touches for 157 yards from scrimmage and one TD over the past two contests. During those last two outings, Dillon went for 91 total yards and one score on his 20 touches. Assuming the duo of Jones and Dillon is out there Sunday versus the Vikings, a similar breakdown of the backfield appears likely to come to pass.

Jones rushed 12 times for 66 yards and secured five of six targets in 21 yards in the Packers' 24-22 win over the Browns on Saturday.

Jones' carry and rushing yardage totals paced the Packers, and he also checked in second in receptions to Davante Adams. The 27-year-old hasn't seen as much as 15 carries in a game since Week 8, but he's supplementing his fantasy production consistently with a serviceable pass-catching role. Jones now has three straight multi-reception tallies heading into a Week 17 home battle against the Vikings.

Jones (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Browns, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

The Packers managed Jones' preexisting knee issue this week, listing him as limited on all three practice reports. Still, the issue won't stop the fifth-year back from taking the field Saturday against a Cleveland defense that has allowed 114 yards from scrimmage per game and 13 touchdowns to running backs in 14 contests this season. Of course, Jones will yield reps to backup AJ Dillon, potentially capping the value of both players.

Jones (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

After the Packers listed Jones as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, he maintained that activity during the team's first on-field work of the week. He surpassed AJ Dillon in terms of offensive snap share (64-36) and touches (15-8) this past Sunday at Baltimore for the first time since suffering a knee injury back in Week 10. The Jones-Dillon breakdown may remain that way moving forward as long as the former is available to the offense.

Jones (knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

Jones continues to be bothered by a knee issue that he initially picked up Week 10 against the Seahawks. He missed the Week 11 loss to the Vikings and has more or less split work with AJ Dillon in the meantime, compiling 33 touches for 168 yards from scrimmage and two TDs over the last three games. Jones' status will be one to watch in advance of Saturday's contest versus the Browns to ensure he's available.

Jones rushed 13 times for 58 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Ravens.

Jones wasn't utilized very often in the first half, but he got rolling to begin the second, capping Green Bay's opening drive with a nine-yard touchdown grab. In doing so, the tailback scored through the air for the second straight game, helping compensate for another modest output on the ground. Although he still outproduced teammate AJ Dillion, who managed just 22 yards on his seven carries, Jones saw Dillion punch in a two-yard rushing touchdown during the second quarter. While Dillion's presence in the Packers' backfield rotation tempers Jones' upside to a degree, Jones remains an efficient and dangerous playmaker going into Week 16's matchup versus the Browns.

Jones (knee/illness) has no injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Neither illness nor a minor knee injury figures to have much impact on Jones' workload after he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant. He's lost more work to AJ Dillon of late, yet remains a must-start in the vast majority of fantasy formats with 927 total yards and nine TDs in 12 games this year.

Jones (knee/illness) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones was a limited participant Wednesday due to the knee injury, before missing Thursday's practice with a non-COVID illness. His return Friday suggests he'll be fine for Sunday's game in Baltimore.

Jones (knee) didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a knee issue, which is likely the one he picked up back in Week 10. Now, his sudden absence is being attributed to an ailment, but there's no evidence that it's related to COVID-19. In any case, Jones' status bears watching as the weekend draws closer to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday in Baltimore. Aside from Jones, AJ Dillon is the other Packers running back to get regular playing time, while Patrick Taylor has earned offensive snaps in three of the last five games.

Jones (knee) wasn't seen at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Packers appear to be managing Jones' health at the moment after he was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. If he ultimately ends up a non-participant Thursday, he'll have just one more chance to mix into an actual practice before week's end.

Jones was limited by a knee injury at Wednesday's walkthrough, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The cap on Jones' reps to begin Week 15 prep likely is related to the sprained right MCL he sustained back in Week 10 against the Seahawks. He missed one game as a result of the injury, and in two appearances since then he's combined for 18 touches for 88 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. Fellow running back AJ Dillon received for more work over those two contests to the tune of 40 touches for 161 total yards and one receiving score. Assuming Jones is able to continue playing through the issue, he may take a back seat to Dillon until he's closer to 100 percent.

Jones rushed five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, adding three receptions for 30 yards and another score in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.

Jones looked like his usual dominant self fresh off of the bye after struggling in his first game back from injury in Week 12. AJ Dillon (15 carries for 71 yards) received the lion's share of rushing attempts, out-touching his fellow back 15 to eight. Jones' nose for the end zone netted his managers the better fantasy line, but head coach Matt LaFleur seems committed to a true timeshare between the two talented backs, which puts a slight damper on Jones' previously-elite fantasy value. When healthy, the 27-year-old is such a weapon that he can still be a must-start asset in his new limited role.

Jones rushed the ball 10 times for 23 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams. He was also targeted once but did not record a reception.

Jones returned from a one-game absence after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 10. He received the first carry of the game for the Packers and saw eight carries in the first half as opposed to six for AJ Dillon. However, Dillon was used extensively in the second half as the Packers tried to run out the clock, and Dillon ultimately earned 20 carries compared to 10 for Jones. When given the opportunity, Jones wasn't particularly effective as he averaged only 2.3 yards per carry with his longest rush going for eight yards. When asked about the running back situation after the game, Matt LaFleur called the backfield a "1A and 1B" situation," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

When Jones sustained an MCL sprain in his right knee Week 10 against the Seahawks, he was expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks. Indeed, the Packers ruled him out for Week 11 action at Minnesota, but he put himself in a position to return by logging limited listings Wednesday through Friday and entering the weekend as questionable. Both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relayed prior to the contest that Green Bay was treating Jones as a game-time decision, and after a pregame workout it's been determined the fifth-year pro is healthy enough to play. Whether or not Jones retakes the reins of the backfield remains to be seen, but AJ Dillon could end up getting the larger share of RB reps between the two considering their respective levels of health.

The Packers are continuing to view Jones (knee) as a true game-time decision leading up to Sunday's game against the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Green Bay and Los Angeles will kick off among the second wave of Sunday games at 4:25 p.m. ET, so official clarity on Jones' status may not arrive until the Packers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the start of the contest. According to Fowler, the Packers were pleased how Jones fared over his three limited practices this week, after he missed the team's Week 11 loss to the Vikings due to the MCL sprain of his right knee. Even if Jones is active this week, there's a good chance he's eased back into the mix as part of a timeshare out of the backfield with AJ Dillon, who was productive as a fill-in starter against Minnesota.

Jones' (knee) availability for Sunday's contest against the Rams is expected to be a game-time decision, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Initial reports suggested that Jones would miss one or two games after suffering the injury in Week 10. Jones sat out last week's loss to Minnesota, but he was able to return to limited practices this week and is officially listed as questionable for Week 12. However, Schefter reports that Jones wants to play Sunday, but following their matchup with the Rams the Packers enter their bye week, which would give their star running back two more weeks to fully rehab from a minor MCL sprain. The game-time decision will put fantasy managers in a difficult position, as the Packers don't kickoff until 4:25 p.m. ET. Obviously, if he is unable to go, then AJ Dillon is expected to see the majority of the offensive snaps once again, while Patrick Taylor operates as the backup.

Jones (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

A limited practice participant the past two days, Jones likely will get the same designation Friday when the Packers release their final injury report. He seems to be progressing as expected from a minor MCL sprain, as initial reports suggested he'd miss one or two games after suffering the injury Week 10. An upcoming bye in Week 13 might impact the Packers' decision, though perhaps less so than usual given that they're facing a potential competitor for NFC playoff seeding this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Jones (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones has logged some activity on the practice field in back-to-back sessions, upholding coach Matt LaFleur's expectation that the running back would be back on the fold this week. On Wednesday, LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site that the Packers will "take it a day at a time" with Jones as he recovers from an MCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered Week 10 against the Seahawks and sidelined him this past Sunday in Minnesota. As a result, Friday's session and eventual injury report could provide clarity regarding Jones' ability to return Sunday versus the Rams.

Jones (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

As anticipated by coach Matt LaFleur earlier Wednesday, Jones ended up returning to the fold. The Packers plan to "take it a day at a time and hopefully he has the ability to get back," LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. Jones missed Week 11 action at Minnesota due to a sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered one week prior versus the Seahawks. How he's listed Thursday and Friday may provide insight into his potential to return Sunday against the Rams, and by proxy whether AJ Dillon will remain Green Bay's primary back or split reps, at the very least, with Jones this weekend.

Jones (knee) is expected to take part in Wednesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Coach Matt LaFleur said Jones will be on the field "a little bit today. We'll take it a day at a time and hopefully he has the ability to get back."

After suffering an MCL sprain in his right knee Week 10 against the Seahawks, Jones was slated to be out 1-to-2 weeks. He already missed one game this past Sunday at Minnesota, but he's poised for his first on-field work since picking up the injury. As intimated by LaFleur, the Packers will be cautious with Jones as he attempts to get back to 100 percent, but a limited listing seems likely on Wednesday's practice report.

Green Bay lists Jones (knee) as out for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Jones was fully expected to miss at least one game after he was diagnosed with an MCL sprain of his right knee following last week's win over the Seahawks, but the Packers didn't officially rule him out for the Week 11 matchup until Friday. The 26-year-old's recovery timeline is estimated at 1-to-2 weeks, so if he's able to get back on the practice field next week, Jones could be ready to go for the Packers' next game Nov. 28 against the Rams. Second-year player AJ Dillon is slated to step in as Green Bay's clear lead back Sunday with Jones out for at least one contest.

Jones (knee) suffered an MCL sprain during Sunday's 17-0 win over the Seahawks and is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones underwent an MRI after being forced out of Sunday's win in the third quarter. While it's unfortunate for both fantasy managers and the Packers' offense that Jones will likely be forced to miss time, it could be considered a stroke of good luck that he's avoided a major injury, and may not even need to be placed on IR. In the meantime AJ Dillon, who racked up 128 scrimmage yards and two scores versus Seattle, will stand to operate as Green Bay's clear backfield leader. Patrick Taylor, the only other running back on the team's active roster, could also be in line for added opportunities if Jones indeed misses time.

Jones (knee) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.

.Jones left the game after a six-yard run late in the third quarter, requiring assistance from team trainers to get to the sideline and eventually the blue medical tent. After an evaluation, he may be in line for a multi-game absence, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Jones picked up an MCL sprain. If so, Jones will yield the backfield to second-year pro AJ Dillon.

Jones suffered a knee injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

After of a six-yard run, Jones attempted to limp off the field but fell back to the turf and needed assistance from two members of the Packers' training staff to get to the sideline. He promptly visited the sideline tent, after which the diagnosis was given. Jones remained on the sideline with his helmet off, but if he's unable to reenter the game he'll come out of Week 10 with seven carries for 25 yards and four catches for 61 yards. AJ Dillon will take over lead RB duties in Jones' stead, while Patrick Taylor is the only back on the active roster.

Jones ran for 53 yards on 12 carries against Kansas City on Sunday.

Jones didn't catch either of his two targets, marking a missed opportunity against a defense that often struggles to defend against running backs, even against lesser ones. Jones did well enough for his own part in Sunday's game, but the opportunities just weren't there. Perhaps that was influenced by the struggles of the Jordan Love-led passing game, but if so it's not clear how soon relief might arrive. It's not known if Aaron Rodgers (COVID) will be available against Seattle in Week 10, so Jones might have to work within similar circumstances if Love is forced to make a second straight start. If Jones can reclaim a more substantial workload, though, then his talent gives reason to expect a bounce back.

Jones rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and secured seven of 11 targets for 51 yards in the Packers' 24-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night.

With the Packers down both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard due to COVID-19 protocols, Jones ended up leading Green Bay in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The star running back also managed to record his first rushing touchdown since Week 3, and he's now recorded at least four receptions in four consecutive contests. Jones' rushing volume was also encouragingly back up after he logged just six carries against Washington in Week 7, and he'll look to exploit a vulnerable Chiefs defense in a Week 9 road showdown a week from Sunday.

Jones ran for 19 yards on six carries and caught five receptions on five targets for 20 yards against Washington on Sunday.

The Washington defense took the run seriously and kept a close eye on Jones in this one, so the explosive runner wasn't able to capitalize in what was a favorable matchup on paper. There's arguably a bright side in that his light workload against Washington might allow the Packers to lean on Jones more aggressively in Thursday's matchup with the Cardinals -- a game that could provide Jones with a favorable bounce-back spot if the the two offenses play to their usual scoring potential.

Jones rushed 13 times for 76 yards and brought in all four targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 24-14 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Jones complemented an ultra-efficient day on the ground that was highlighted by a 28-yard run with a co-team-high reception tally that included his fourth receiving touchdown of the season. Jones has notched at least 67 rushing yards in four of five games since a disastrous five-carry, nine-yard tally in the opener versus the Saints, and he'll look to tack on to that strong stretch in a Week 7 home clash with Washington's inconsistent defense.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Chicago, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was a limited practice participant throughout the week but should be cleared for his typical workload this Sunday against a division rival. The Bears rank 12th in rushing yards allowed (103 per game) and eighth in YPC allowed (3.9), and they've given up the eighth fewest receptions to running backs (20).

Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Operating under a cap in his practice reps for a third straight week, Jones continues his recovery from an ankle injury that he's been able to gut out the past two games. During that stretch, he combined for 36 touches for 208 yards from scrimmage and no TDs. At the same time, No. 2 RB AJ Dillon has received a bit more work en route to 28 touches for 176 total yards and one score. The Packers may continue to operate with somewhat of a split workload out of the backfield as long as Jones is less than 100 percent, but the team first will have to clear his designation on the final Week 6 injury report, as it's done the previous two weeks.

Jones (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones again is putting in capped showings at practice for a third week in a row. In two games playing through his ankle issue, though, he's compiled 29 carries for 151 yards and seven catches (on nine targets) for 57 yards. Jones will look to ditch his injury designation by the week's end as the Packers prepare to face the Bears' 12th-ranked run defense (103.8 yards per game) Sunday.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was a limited participant in every practice for a second straight week. Last week, he ended up taking 15 carries for 48 yards and three catches for 51 yards in a 27-17 win over Pittsburgh, playing 63 percent of offensive snaps. That's right in his usual workload range, and Jones should stay similarly busy this weekend, though he won't have the help of starting center Josh Myers (out - finger).

Jones (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Jones is mimicking exactly how he went through Week 4 prep this week -- consecutive limited sessions -- before he suited up this past Sunday against the Steelers. He was able to log 63 percent of the offensive snaps en route to 15 carries for 48 yards and three catches (on four targets) for 51 yards in that victory. Assuming he gets through Friday unscathed, too, Jones should handle a similar workload Sunday in Cincinnati.

Jones (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones operated under a similar practice regimen last week, logging capped showings Wednesday through Friday. It didn't stop him from playing and producing this past Sunday versus the Steelers on his way to 18 touches for 99 yards from scrimmage. Jones will look to do the same this week with two more sessions to go.

Jones rushed 15 times for 48 yards, secured three of four targets for 51 yards and returned one kickoff for 10 yards in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Jones predictably had a difficult time finding running room against the stingy Steelers front, and his late third-quarter fumble in Pittsburgh territory may have well cost the Packers at least three points. However, Jones still put together a strong albeit unspectacular fantasy effort with a season-best receiving yardage tally, and he also got a chance to get some rest late and let AJ Dillon handle rushing duties with the Packers enjoying a comfortable lead. Jones will look to bounce back with better production on the ground against an improved Bengals run defense in a Week 5 road battle.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Both Jones and backup running back AJ Dillon (back) had their practice reps capped to an extent this week, but the pair will be available Sunday. Throwing out the season-opening loss to the Saints when he had seven touches, Jones has been busy the past two games, totaling 44 touches for 211 yards from scrimmage and five TDs.

Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For the second day in a row, the Packers capped Jones' reps, and backup A.J. Dillon (back) joined him as limited after avoiding the first Week 4 injury report. There's been no indication that either running back is in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Steelers, but with both dealing with injuries the situation should be monitored as the weekend draws closer.

Jones was limited by an ankle injury at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Matt LaFleur told Jason Wilde of ESPN.com that the Packers would be holding a jog-through Wednesday, but Jones still had a cap on his reps. As such, Jones' status bears watching as the week goes on to ensure he points himself in the right direction to suit up Sunday against the Steelers.

Jones rushed 19 times for 82 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 14 more yards in a 30-28 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Jones' performance may get overshadowed by the heroics both Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams performed Sunday night, but he still turned in a strong fantasy line. The 26-year-old has now contributed five total touchdowns to his fantasy managers' scores over the past two games, making up for an abysmal first game of the 2021 season. Jones remains the unquestioned lead back in Green Bay, and his prowess around the goal line keeps him in prime RB1 territory, even if he hasn't busted out a big rushing total game yet. A big cross-conference matchup against the Steelers is on tap for Week 4.

Jones rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown, and caught all six of his targets for 48 yards and three more scores in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.

Jones turned in the second four-touchdown display of his career by getting a hat trick through the air before adding a one-yard plunge in the fourth quarter. After the game plan went away from him in an ugly Week 1 showing, the Packers' offense found success with Jones as the focal point from the get-go Monday. The tailback scored in a variety of ways - all from inside the 15-yard line - and racked up 115 scrimmage yards in the process. As one of the league's most dynamic playmakers, Jones will hope to build on his momentum in Week 3, but a tough matchup at the 49ers awaits.

Jones carried the ball five times for nine yards and caught both his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

The Packers couldn't get anything going offensively in the game and had to abandon their ground game in the second half, rendering Jones almost invisible. He didn't even wind up leading Green Bay in rushing, as AJ Dillon scraped together 19 yards on four carries. Jones should be able to shake off this dreadful performance at home in Week 2 while facing a Lions defense he amassed 311 scrimmage yards and three TDs against in two meetings last year.

Jones says he'll enter the season healthy after dealing with a hamstring injury early in training camp, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones has been back at practice since Aug. 16 and likely would've been healthy enough to play in one or two preseason games if the Packers hadn't decided to rest their star players anyway. He should get plenty of touches Week 1 in New Orleans, though it remains to be seen if Jones benefits or suffers from the new backup situation with AJ Dillon replacing Jamaal Williams in the No. 2 role. Relative to Williams, the 247-pound Dillon seems like more of a threat to steal short rushing TDs but less of a threat to poach targets.

Jones is one of 32 Packers who did not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.

The Packers elected to rest most of their key starters Saturday and it's unclear if the likes of Jones and the team's other top skill players will next see game action before Week 1. Also not in uniform Saturday are QB Aaron Rodgers, WRs Davante Adams, Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard, as well as TE Robert Tonyan.

Jones (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones missed practice last week and wasn't available for the preseason opener, but the Packers haven't expressed any real concern about his hamstring. Regardless of his preseason workload (or lack thereof), Jones will enter Week 1 as one of the more reliable lead backs in the league, this time ceding work off the bench to 247-pound bruiser AJ Dillon instead of Jamaal Williams. The switch could lead to fewer goal-line carries and more targets, but Jones' excellent work in the red zone in recent years should ensure he isn't frozen out there.

Jones (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones missed practice last week because of his injury, and he will remain sidelined Saturday night. Head coach Matt LaFleur has not expressed concern about Jones' status, so chances are he will be ready to go for the team's regular season opener next month.

Jones wasn't present at Monday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Two days removed from the Packers' Family Night scrimmage, Jones isn't taking part in on-field drills, instead focusing on rehabbing his hamstring. The injury may be a minor one, but the team won't take any chances with their highly paid running back. He put pen to paper on a four-year, $48 million contract back in March, and with Jamaal Williams moving on to the Lions in the offseason Jones and second-year pro AJ Dillon are the top two RBs in Green Bay.

Jones announced via his personal Twitter account Sunday that he has re-signed with the Packers.

The 2021 free agency class has lost its prospective top running back, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jones and the Packers have come to terms on a four-year deal worth up to $48 million, and with a $13 million signing bonus. The 26-year-old is coming off back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards, and he's been above 5.0 yards per carry in three of his four years in Green Bay. By virtue of sticking in a proven landing spot, alongside an elite quarterback and behind a top notch offensive line, Jones will no doubt reprise his standing as one of the top running backs off the board in fantasy drafts next season. All that remains to be seen is whether AJ Dillon carves out a larger complementary role, which could certainly happen if Jamaal Williams ends up leaving in free agency.

The Packers will not use their franchise tag on Jones, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As a result, the running back is eligible to become a free agent, though Schefter notes that the Packers are attempting to re-sign Jones before he hits the open market. If the two sides don't come to an agreement, however, the 26-year-old would profile as the top free agent at his position in the class of 2021.

Jones (chest), who was unable to return to Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game, is uncertain to return for the Packers in 2021, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.

Jones didn't retake the field after suffering a hard hit from Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (shoulder), a play that resulted in a crucial fumble on the opening drive of the third quarter. He finished Sunday's loss with just six carries for 27 yards and four catches for 7 yards. Now having reached the end of his rookie contract, Jones is on track to hit the free-agent market this offseason unless he comes to terms on a new deal with the Packers. Demovsky reports that Green Bay offered Jones, who is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons, a deal that would make him one of "the top-five highest paid running backs in terms of average per year," but which includes minimal guaranteed money. With Jamaal Williams also having reached the end of his rookie deal, the stage could well be set for 2020 second-round pick AJ Dillon to take over as the top dog in Green Bay's backfield next season.

Jones was forced out of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers due to a chest injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Jones logged six carries for 27 yards and caught four of his six targets for seven yards. Next up for Green Bay's carries are Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon.

Jones rushed the ball 14 times for 99 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams. He added one reception for 14 yards.

Jones began the second-half with a 60-yard run and ultimately capped the same drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. He was held under wraps for the most part otherwise, with his only other significant rushes going for 11 and eight yards. Even so, he topped 100 total yards third time in his last four games -- spanning back to the regular season. He'll draw a tough matchup in the NFC Championship Game, when the Packers will take on either the Buccaneers or Saints.

Jones rushed 11 times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears. He also caught four of five targets for 43 yards.

Jones' production was evenly split between the ground and the air, again displaying his versatility while topping 80 scrimmage yards. The tailback's 11th touchdown of the campaign, however, came on the ground, as Jones rushed in from four yards to give the Packers a commanding lead late in the fourth quarter. In helping Green Bay secure the top seed in the NFC, Jones will now get a week off before taking the field in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Jones rushed 10 times for 94 yards and caught two passes for 14 more yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over Tennessee.

Jones had an incredibly efficient game, averaging a whopping 9.4 yards per carry, which is shockingly the second time he has averaged over nine yards per tote this season (9.3 YPC in Week 2). While that kind of effectiveness should warrant celebration from his fantasy managers, it actually left them wanting more after seeing backup AJ Dillon go off for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. While the lopsided score would explain why the backup received twice as many carries as Jones, it is worth noting that one of Dillon's scores came on the Packers' second drive of the contest. Head coach Matt LaFleur stuck with his usual backfield timeshare even with Jamaal Williams (quad) sitting this one out, and then Dillon took on a larger workload in the second half once the game was put well out of reach. The light workload should have Jones well rested for an important seeding matchup against the Bears on Sunday.

Jones (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jamaal Williams, on the other hand, is listed as doubtful, still bothered by the quadriceps injury that knocked him out of last week's win over Carolina. Jones ended up playing 90 percent of offensive snaps in that game, piling up 158 total yards and a TD on 23 touches. He should be in for another large workload this week, though it's possible the Packers give rookie AJ Dillon a bit more work.

Jones (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones' reps were capped for the second day in a row after he picked up a toe injury in the Packers' Week 15 win over the Panthers. Fortunately for Jones and his fantasy managers, the running back relayed earlier Thursday that despite his limitations, he's "feeling good" and "ready to go" for Sunday's showdown with the Titans, according to Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. If Jones can increase his activity in Friday's practice, he should approach the Week 16 contest without a designation.

Jones (toe) participated in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was a surprise addition to Wednesday's injury report as limited due to a toe issue. It remains to be seen whether he increased his reps or merely maintained them Thursday, but Jones still is doing more than Jamaal Williams, who hasn't practice this week with a quad concern.

Jones (toe) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams didn't take part at all due to the quad injury he sustained Week 15 against the Panthers. With both Jones and Williams tending to health concerns, rookie second-rounder AJ Dillon is the only Packers running back at full capacity. The state of Green Bay's backfield will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

Jones rushed the ball 20 times for 145 yards and one touchdown in Week 15 against the Panthers. He added three receptions for 13 yards.

Jones had the Packers' backfield to himself for much of the contest after Jamaal Williams (quad) exited early on. He took advantage by ripping off long runs of 46, 14 and 10 yards to total his highest rushing yardage total since Week 2. Jones also tallied his eighth touchdown of the campaign, finding the end zone from eight yards away late in the second quarter. He'll have another positive matchup in Week 16 against the Titans and will look to duplicate this statistical output.

Jones collected 69 rushing yards over 15 carries, adding two receptions for six yards during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

Jones endured one of his quieter fantasy outings during Week 14, collecting his second-lowest total in scrimmage yards since Week 6. That was in spite of the 26-year-old garnering 14-plus touches for a sixth consecutive game. Touchdowns were a hallmark to Jones' prolific 2019 season, but they have been less so in 2020, as the fourth-year back has totaled nine scores after collecting 19 a season ago. Even so, he remains well-positioned to top the 1,000-yard rushing mark for a second consecutive year, standing 177 yards shy of the milestone entering a Week 15 Saturday night matchup against the Panthers' 15th-ranked rush defense.

Jones carried the ball 15 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles.

The Philly defense did a good job keeping Jones in check for three quarters, but he finally broke free in the fourth and put the game out of reach with a highlight-reel 77-yard TD run. Jones could be headed for another huge performance in Week 14 against a Lions defense that just surrendered 111 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns to David Montgomery.

Jones rushed 17 times for 90 yards and caught one pass for no gain in Sunday's 41-25 win over the Bears.

Jones was able to find consistent holes through a tough Chicago front (5.3 yard per carry), but he was unable to hit pay dirt. The lack of touchdowns has been a concern for the 25-year-old, as he has just six trips to the end zone in nine contests after racking up 16 rushing touchdowns in 2019. Jones is still a strong fantasy asset despite the regression in scores, sitting atop the depth chart on a potent offensive unit. Backup Jamaal Williams only received an equal amount of carries (17) due to the blowout nature of Sunday's game. Jones will look to feast on the Eagles next week, as they own one of the worst run defenses through 12 weeks (133.4 rushing yards allowed per game).

Jones carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts. He added four receptions for 30 yards.

Jones out-touched Jamaal Williams 14-6, but was limited by the fact that the team attempted only 18 rushes overall. Nevertheless, he found the end zone on a two-yard rush early in the second quarter -- his seventh touchdown of the campaign. Jones was also effective as a receiver out of the backfield and has logged at least four receptions in six of his eight contests this season. He will face a strong run defense in Week 12 against the Bears, though his receiving ability ensures his involvement in the offense and a chance to remain productive.

Jones registered 46 rushing yards on 13 carries, adding five receptions for 49 yards during Sunday's 24-20 win against Jacksonville. He also fumbled once, but the ball rolled out of bounds.

Jones averaged an electrifying 5.7 yards per carry over his first four appearances of the 2020 campaign, but he's been contained to just 3.1 yards per attempt over his past three outings against the Buccaneers, 49ers and Jaguars. Tampa Bay and San Francisco entered Sunday's slate ranking first and 10th in rush defense, respectively, but Jacksonville sat at 27th in the NFL with 138.1 yards per game surrendered on the ground. Jones was unable to capitalize on a seemingly favorable Week 10 matchup, though he did salvage considerable value in producing his second-highest receiving output of the year. The fourth-year back has garnered a healthy workload of 18-plus offensive touches in six of his seven appearances this season, but he heads into a challenging Week 11 matchup against the Colts' No. 3 rush defense.

Jones (calf) practiced in full Wednesday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones was listed as limited on each of the Packers' injury reports prior to getting the green light to return last Thursday at San Francisco. He logged a typical 61 percent of the snaps on offense, which led to 20 touches for 79 yards after missing two games due to a calf strain. The workload likely was necessitated by the lack of available running backs: both Jamaal Williams (not injury related) and AJ Dillon (illness) were unavailable Week 9 due to residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Williams is back on the active roster, while Dillon remains away from the team as he deals with the illness. As a result, the Packers seem poised to have their usual Jones-Williams duo Sunday against the Jaguars for the first time since Week 6.

Jones (calf) rushed 15 times for 58 yards and secured all five targets for an additional 21 yards in the Packers' 34-17 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.

Jones was able to make it through pregame workouts without issue, setting the stage for his return from a two-game absence on a night the Packers were without Jamaal Williams and A.J. Dillon for COVID-related reasons. Jones paced the backfield in carries, but Tyler Ervin did complement him nicely with eight attempts as game script allowed Green Bay to keep the star running back's workload lighter than usual. Jones now has the luxury of a few extra days of rest ahead of a very favorable Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Jones (calf) is listed as active Thursday at San Francisco.

As expected, Jones has done enough to show the Packers that he can play through his calf injury. With AJ Dillon (illness) and Jamaal Williams (not injury related) unavailable due to residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones should be in the mix for touches out of Green Bay's backfield. That said, Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams are healthy and available, so Jones may merely be an emergency option Thursday.

Jones (calf) is expected to suit up for Thursday's contest at San Francisco, pending a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Notably, Schefter stated the Packers intend to be "careful" with Jones and see how his calf reacts to the aforementioned warmup, but they also expect him to be available to the offense. If he indeed is active, Jones may only be used in an emergency with two other healthy bodies (Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams) available to the backfield. However, Jones has averaged 110 yards from scrimmage per game and scored seven touchdowns in five appearances this season, so there's still a decent chance he contributes to the box score.

The Packers are increasingly hopeful that Jones (calf), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the 49ers, will be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Listed as a limited practice participant on each of the Packers' three reports this week, Jones hasn't proven that he's completely moved past the calf strain that has sidelined him for the team's past two games. That being said, Jones has apparently shown improvement over the past few days, so the Packers will likely clear him to play if he can make it through an early warmup without issue. Clarification on Jones' status one way or the other should come approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Packers release their inactive list. If Jones is available, Rapoport notes that the running back could be in store for a limited role, which supports what Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported earlier Thursday. With AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams already ruled out for Week 9 after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tyler Ervin -- who has lined up mostly out wide or in the slot this season -- and practice squad callup Dexter Williams are the only other healthy running backs

Jones (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at San Francisco, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones' practice reps were capped in practice this week as he works his way back from a strained calf. Both coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett expect Jones to be "a game-time deal,' per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, so his availability (or lack thereof) Thursday likely will come down to a pregame workout. The Packers could use his services, as AJ Dillon tested positive for COVID-19 this week and Jamaal Williams is unavailable becase he was considered to be a high-risk close contact of Dillon's. Aside from Jones, the team has two running backs (Tyler Ervin and practice-squad member Dexter Williams) available to handle the backfield.

Coach Matt LaFleur said a decision on Jones' (calf) availability will come down to the wire ahead of Thursday's game at San Francisco, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. "We'll give him up to game time, and then we'll figure it out," LaFleur noted. "So we'll see."

Jones was listed as LP on Monday's practice estimate and officially was a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through. Ideally, the Packers would like him to elevate to full by Wednesday, but considering the state of their backfield, waiting until a pregame workout Thursday seems like a prudent approach. With both Jamaal Williams (not injury related) and AJ Dillon (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones, Tyler Ervin and practice squad member Dexter Williams are the only running backs available to the Packers. As a result, Jones may have a huge workload this week if he's able to get past (or play through) his strained calf.

Jones (calf) was limited at Tuesday's walk-through, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Among Packers running backs on the active roster, Jones and Tyler Ervin are the only available bodies, with Dexter Williams waiting in the wings on the practice squad, after Jamaal Williams (not injury related) landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to being a high-risk close contact of AJ Dillon (illness). Jones seems to have a chance to play after practicing for the first time since Week 6 prep, but much may depend on how he fares in Wednesday's session. If he's able to prove his health, he likely will be the lead back, with Ervin and potentially Dexter Williams taking on complementary roles.

Jones (calf) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Jones missed a second straight game in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, as the Packers have been taking a precautionary approach to his return. Although the team didn't hold practice, Monday's practice estimate signals that Jones will return to the field Tuesday, affording him a chance to play Thursday against the 49ers. His presence is even more important now that rookie AJ Dillon is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, as Jamaal Williams is the only remaining healthy running back on the active roster.

Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones will miss a second straight game, and his continued absence from practice suggests he may not be ready for a Thursday matchup with the 49ers four days later. Jamaal Williams got 19 carries and five targets on 89 percent snap share in last week's win over Houston, while AJ Dillon was limited to five carries on 23 percent of snaps. It's possible the Packers look to get Dillon more involved, but Williams is still the safe bet to pile up touches and yards while Jones is unavailable.

Jones (calf) isn't at Friday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

A third consecutive absence suggests Jones isn't likely to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota, but it's still possible the Packers list him as questionable or doubtful rather than officially ruling him out on the final injury report. Jamaal Williams played 89 percent of offensive snaps in last week's win over Houston, piling up 114 total yards and a touchdown.

Jones (calf) didn't practice Thursday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

As coach Matt LaFleur mentioned Wednesday, the Packers will be "very careful" with Jones as he recovers from the strained calf he suffered in practice last week. Jones didn't suit up Week 7 at Houston, yielding the backfield to Jamaal Williams (114 yards from scrimmage, one TD) and rookie second-rounder AJ Dillon (11, zero). With no practice reps under his belt this week, Jones is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Vikings, but he still has one more practice to make his case for active status.

Jones (calf) isn't practicing Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Packers have a reputation for being cautious with injured players, and coach Matt LaFleur reiterated Wednesday that the team would be "very careful" managing Jones' calf strain. LaFleur did say he hopes to have the running back available sooner than later, but it isn't clear if that will happen for Week 8 against the 49ers. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would at least give Jones a shot to make his case for suiting up.

Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers will be "very careful" with Jones' strained calf, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

LaFleur also said the team hopes to have Jones back in the lineup sooner than later, though the overarching theme is one of caution. Jamaal Williams filled in effectively Week 7 at Houston, and he could get another start Sunday against the 49ers. Practice reports throughout the week should provide some information on Jones' progress.

Jones (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game at Houston, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones injured his calf at Thursday's practice and subsequently didn't practice Friday, earning a questionable designation in the process. On Saturday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette indicated the Packers weren't "expected to push him" to play, but Tom Pelissero of NFL Network countered Sunday morning, calling Jones a "game-time" decision. In the end, Jones' mild calf strain will result in his first absence of the season, allowing Jamaal Williams, AJ Dillon and even practice squad callup Dexter Williams to earn reps in Jones' stead.

Jones (calf) traveled with the Packers to Houston and is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette previously indicated that the Packers weren't expected to push the running back, whose MRI revealed what's being described as a very mild calf strain. Though Pelissero notes that Jones wants to play, he adds that "Green Bay's medical staff is always cautious" and if the team's top rusher isn't 100 percent, he won't go Sunday. In that scenario, Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon would be in line for increased roles, with Dexter Williams in reserve. Final confirmation of Jones' Week 7 status will arrive upon the release of the Packers' inactives in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Jones (calf) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Texans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Although Jones relayed Friday that he was confident he'd play Sunday, this news was somewhat expected considering the soft-tissue injury surfaced during Thursday's practice. The official status will be handed down when the Packers release inactive about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. It's an appealing matchup for any backfield, as the Texans have allowed a league-high 177.5 rushing yards per game this year, and Jamaal Williams figures to be the lead back Sunday, although rookie second-round pick A.J. Dillon could command a handful of touches as well.

Jones (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Houston, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was a late addition to the injury report, missing practice Friday after he suffered a calf strain during Thursday's session. He hopes to be ready for Sunday, but he acknowledged it'll be up to the Packers training staff to make the final decision, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. On that note, Demovsky believes Jones is unlikely to play, pointing to the training staff's history of being cautious, especially with soft-tissue injuries (just ask Davante Adams). On the other hand, Jones said he's confident he can play, and coach Matt LaFleur said the running back is "more in the questionable category" than doubtful. Fortunately for fantasy managers, the Packers have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, allowing for a plethora of fill-in options if Jones is inactive. Jamaal Williams would be the safest bet to see touches out of the Green Bay backfield, but rookie second-round pick AJ Dillon also would be in line for an expanded role.

Jones suffered a mild calf strain during Thursday's practice, potentially setting up a game-time decision Sunday in Houston, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones still wants to play in Sunday's game, but the final decision also figures to involved the team's medical staff, and it could depend on how he looks/feels after a pregame workout. If Jones isn't able to play, Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon will handle backfield work for the Packers.

Jones is absent from Friday's practice, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones hasn't been listed on the injury report this week, so his absence comes as a surprise. It's possible he's feeling ill or missing practice for personal reasons, but the Packers haven't provided an update yet.

Jones carried 10 times for 15 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches (on five targets) for 26 yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

Jones struggled to the tune of 1.5 yards per carry against a stout Bucs defense, though he did manage to score a short touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter. He was quite involved as a pass catcher yet again but did little in that department outside his log gain of 20 yards. Jones had averaged 144.3 scrimmage yards over the last three games, so his struggles in this one can be largely be chalked up to a tough matchup and poor overall play by the offense. He could bounce back in a big way next Sunday against a Texans team that has been gashed by opposing running backs all season.

Jones rushed 15 times for 71 yards and caught all five of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-16 win over the Falcons.

Jones started the scoring with a wide-open, six-yard catch just under five minutes into the first quarter. That play set the tone for what would become a season high in receptions for Jones, which took place on a night Green Bay was missing top wideouts Davante Adams (hamstring) and Allen Lazard (abdomen). Along with his contributions through the air, Jones was his ever-efficient self on the ground, slashing his way to a fourth straight game of over 65 yards and 4.0 yards per carry. With now six touchdowns on the season as well, Jones is established as one of the league's best all-purpose tailbacks and enters the Packers' bye week on the back of a stellar start.

Jones rushed 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Saints.

Another Aaron stole the show and carried the Packers to a big primetime win, but Jones was still able to turn in a solid fantasy performance with a trip to the end zone. The 25-year-old has been a touchdown machine early in the season, rushing for four and adding a fifth through the air through three contests. Jones has proven that he can stay involved even in contests that turn into shootouts, which next Monday's matchup against the Falcons has the potential of becoming.

Jones rushed 18 times for 168 yards and two touchdowns while adding four catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions.

Jones led Green Bay in both rushing and receiving yards, piling up 236 scrimmage yards. He scored a seven-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter, then ripped off rushing touchdowns of 75 and 14 yards as the Packers outscored the Lions 39-7 over the final three quarters after falling behind 14-3. Jones has four total touchdowns through two games this season and is locked in as one of the league's top fantasy running backs heading into a Week 3 trip to New Orleans.

Jones rushed 16 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 10 yards in the Packers' 43-34 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also fumbled once but it was recovered by the offense.

Jones took a back seat to Aaron Rodgers, who was spectacular with four touchdown passes in the somewhat surprisingly high-scoring battle. However, the talented running back still rewarded fantasy managers via a five-yard touchdown run with 3:19 remaining that snuffed out any hopes of a Vikings comeback by extending a 36-26 Packers lead. The fourth-year pro, who recorded a career-high 49 receptions a season ago, was encouragingly involved in the short passing game, and he'll look to augment his overall numbers in a Week 2 divisional tussle with the Lions next Sunday.

Jones has looked "fast, decisive and explosive" during training camp, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site.

Coming off the best season of his three-year career -- 1,558 yards from scrimmage and 19 total touchdowns -- Jones had entered the upper tier of do-it-all running backs as the offseason kicked off. The development didn't stop the Packers from selecting AJ Dillon in the second round of the 2020 draft, which left the backfield in the hands of Jones, Jamaal Williams and the 6-0, 247-pound rookie. It should be noted Jones and Williams are heading into the final year of their rookie deals, so Dillon can be considered insurance at the least and a threat to touches, especially in short-yardage situations. Regarding this last point, Jones may lose some of his 34 runs and 12 targets in the red zone from 2019, thereby lowering his ceiling.

Jones will be joined by a new running back in 2020 after the Packers' selection of AJ Dillon in the second round of this year's draft.

The Packers' running back room was in good shape heading into both the draft and the 2020 season, as it contained Jones and Jamaal Williams, who combined for over 2,200 yards from scrimmage and 25 touchdowns in 2019. However, both players will be free agents in 2021, so Dillon was added to provide some long-term security at the position. Dillon is a power back, so he will be more of a threat to Williams' opportunities than Jones' in 2020, and Jones -- who accounted for over 1,500 yards and 19 scores himself last year -- still figures to be the Packers' primary running back in any games that are played in 2020. That will remain the case should he sign an extension with Green Bay, but with Dillon on board the Packers could be less inclined to shell out big the bucks for Jones next offseason.

Jones rushed 12 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and brought in all five targets for 27 yards and another score during the Packers' 37-20 loss to the 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Jones' rushing yardage total paced the Packers for the evening, and he was able to find the end zone on a nine-yard grab and a one-yard rush in the third and fourth quarter, respectively. The two-score tally was a fitting cap to a stellar regular season for Jones, one that saw him rush for a career-high 1,084 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding a 49-474-3 line through the air. Jones will look to put together an even bigger season in 2020 in anticipation of going into unrestricted free agency ahead of the 2021 campaign.

Jones carried 21 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-23 win over the Seahawks. He also caught one of two targets for four yards.

Jones' yardage output was lacking on an evening when he averaged just 3.0 yards per carry while doing next to nothing as a pass-catcher. He salvaged his performance from a fantasy perspective with a pair of one-yard touchdown runs in the second quarter. Jones finished the regular season with three 100-yard games in his last four, so his struggles to produce efficiently came as a bit of a surprise. Things won't get any easier in next week's NFC Championship game against a 49ers team that just shut down Dalvin Cook and has been one of the stingiest teams against the run all season.

While Jones hasn't appeared on the Packers' Week 14 injury report, he dealt with some "sharp ankle pain" during this past Sunday's 31-13 win against the Giants, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Jones spent some time on the sideline Sunday but noted Thursday that the discomfort dissipated by the end of the contest. He even underwent an MRI earlier this week, which revealed no cause for concern. Meanwhile, fellow running back Jamaal Williams was limited at Thursday's practice due to a knee issue. If Williams has to take a step back this Sunday versus the Redskins, Jones could serve in more of a bell-cow role out of the Packers' backfield.

Jones (shoulder) put in a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones was a limited participant in the Packers' first two practices of Week 9, but there never seemed to be much overwhelming concern about his availability to play Sunday. Expect Jones to serve in his usual capacity as the Packers' lead running back, though he could see his involvement in the passing game scaled back a little bit if top wideout Davante Adams (toe) -- who is being viewed as a game-time decision -- is cleared to play after a four-week absence.

Jones (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones missed a handful of snaps on offense during a Week 8 win at Kansas City due to a shoulder injury, which now has impacted his practice reps for a second straight session. He'll aim for an uncapped showing Friday as the Packers ramp up for another visit to an AFC West opponent (Sunday against the Chargers in L.A.).

Jones (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

In the midst of his spectacular performance this past Sunday at Kansas City, Jones left the contest to have his shoulder examined, an issue that's still a bother at the start of Week 9 prep. The NFL's leader in touchdowns with 11 at the midpoint of the season, he'll attempt to get back to full participation by week's end with an eye toward Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Jones (shoulder) rushed 13 times for 67 yards and caught seven passes (eight targets) for 159 yards and two receiving touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs.

Jones had to leave the contest with a shoulder injury at the tail end of the first half, but he was able to return after halftime and went on to post one of the better receiving lines from a running back we've seen this season. The 24-year-old did most of his damage on a pair of wheel routes out of the backfield where he and Aaron Rodgers exposed man coverage on a lone linebacker. Jones has made significant strides as a receiver this season, nearly doubling his aerial output from last season in four less games. The third-year man has seen his rushing production take a hit, averaging 4.1 yards per carry after gaining fame in fantasy circles with a 5.5 average over his first two seasons. Jones remains the preferred back in Green Bay over Jamaal Williams, and heads into a soft matchup against the Chargers on Sunday.

Jones (shoulder) was able to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Jones got injured in the first half but was able to retake the field after halftime. Fantasy owners relying on the 24-year-old running back can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a shoulder injury.

Jones had been carving up Kansas City's defense prior to exiting, with 94 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in the first half, in addition to another would-be touchdown that was overturned on replay. Jamaal Williams -- who also has a touchdown already -- should step into the lead back role with Jones on the mend.

The Packers listed Jones (shoulder) as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Due to the quick turnaround for Thursday's game against the Eagles, the Packers aren't expected to hold an actual practice session until Wednesday. That said, the team's estimate of Jones being a full participant suggests the shoulder issue he's tending to isn't much of a concern heading into the Week 4 matchup. The injury may explain in part why Jones handled a season-low 39 percent snap share in Week 3 against the Broncos, but he still managed to reach the end zone twice in the victory.

Jones (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers didn't hold a formal practice Monday, so what Jones does in Tuesday's session will be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 24-year-old found paydirt twice against the Broncos on Sunday
