AJ Dillon Missing From Practice Again Thursday

AJ Dillon Missing From Practice Again Thursday

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) remained sidelined for the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Dillon did not play in the Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears after suffering a stinger in Week 17, and he's trending toward missing a second straight game on Sunday in the wild-card playoff contest versus the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old has one more day to get onto the practice field on Friday, but even if he does and ultimately is active for wild-card weekend, he's going to play second fiddle to lead back Aaron Jones. If Dillon is inactive this weekend, Patrick Taylor would serve as Jones' backup. Jones has three straight 100-yard games and is looking more and more attractive for DFS lineups against a Cowboys run defense that was a top-10 matchup for the last five weeks for opposing RBs.
