Aaron Jones Won't Play On Monday Night

one year ago

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) will not be active on Monday Night Football to close out Week 5 action against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a source. Jones was questionable heading into Monday night's action, and a report surfaced earlier on Monday that he was unlikely to play after returning from a two-game absence in last Thursday's loss to the Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old will get extra time to rest up with the team's bye coming in Week 6, so hopefully he'll be closer to 100 percent for a Week 7 tilt against the Broncos in Denver. You could be in trouble if you were counting on Jones in a starting lineup spot this week. AJ Dillon should lead the Packers' backfield against the Raiders without Jones, with rookie Emanuel Wilson backing him up.
