Packers' Aaron Jones' Knee Injury Not Believed to Be Long-Term Issue, LaFleur Says

The Green Bay Packers may have avoided the worst when it comes to the health of running back Aaron Jones.

Jones suffered a knee injury in the team's Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers and was carted to the locker room as a result of the injury. The injury occurred late in the second quarter and the tailback was seen in visible pain before he left the field.

The Packers originally listed Jones as questionable before officially designating him as out in the second half. Following the game, Packers head coach said that the team does not fear a long term injury with Jones and that the tailback is "in good spirits"

Jones was not the only Packer tailback to be carted towards the end of the opening half, as running back Emanuel Wilson suffered a similar fate moments after Jones.

Jones had four rushing attempts for 14 yards in the game to the point of his injury and has 231 yards and two touchdowns in six games thus far in the 2023 season. This production is not representative of his past as he has eclipsed 1,000 yards three times in his seven season career and has scored 45 total touchdowns.

If Jones and Wilson are out for the rest of the game, Green Bay will be down to just A.J. Dillon in the position group.

Green Bay defeated the Chargers 23-20 and improved 4-6 on the season. The Packers sit in third place in the NFC North.
