Aaron Jones (knee) DNP for Packers to begin Week 12
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report for Week 12 against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a knee injury and didn't return. The Packers believe Jones avoided a long-term injury, but he's likely not going to be able to play on a short week. Emanuel Wilson also picked up a DNP after leaving with a shoulder injury on Sunday. AJ Dillon, who was listed as limited on Monday, will lead the Packers' backfield if Jones is out. Jayden Reed could also be more involved after running 3 times for a team-high 46 yards and a touchdown.
Jones played 15 snaps in Week 11 and turned 5 touches into 17 yards before leaving. Dillon rushed 14 times for 29 yards and caught 4 passes (4 targets) for 32 yards. The Lions are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to running backs this season and the Chargers are allowing the ninth-most, so the Green Bay backfield will have a tougher matchup on Thanksgiving.
