Packers RB misses third straight practice
Sounds like it might be another week for RB Aaron Jones (calf). Coach Matt LaFleur said holding him out last week “definitely helped him but he’s got to continue to improve and get better each day.” LaFleur said they won’t risk losing him long term so “we’ll be smart with him.” (ESPN – Rob Demovsky)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Even though Jones believed he was healthy enough to play last weekend, the Packers held him out. Two missed practices to begin this week suggests another missed game could be on the horizon. As fantasy owners saw with Davante Adams earlier this year, Green Bay’s training staff is among the most conservative in the league when it comes to injuries. Jamaal Williams would be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside if Jones gets ruled out.
