AJ Dillon Expected To Play Against Lions

12 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (groin), who is listed as questionable for the Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the Detroit Lions, is expected to play, according to sources. Dillon was able to practice on a limited basis this week, and he'll be Green Bay's primary RB against Detroit with Aaron Jones (knee) already ruled out with an MCL sprain and rookie Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) on Injured Reserve. Patrick Taylor and James Robinson, who were just signed this week, will back up Dillon on Thursday. The 25-year-old should get all the touches he can handle. Dillon hasn't been killing it in 2023 with a career-low 3.5 yards per carry and just one rushing score, but the increased volume will at least make him worthy of a starting lineup spot as an RB3/flex in fantasy this week.
