Aaron Jones escapes significant injury
The Packers running back could very well be available to play against the Cowboys.
By PackerAaron
The Packers got some incredibly bad news earlier today, learning they will be without Rashan Gary for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
The news is decidedly much more positive when it comes to running back Aaron Jones, who left Sunday's game in Detroit due to an ankle injury.
From ESPN's Adam Schefter:
Tests on Packers’ RB Aaron Jones’ ankle today came back negative and, according to a source, “(Jones) should be able to play this week.”

Speaking to the Athletic's Matt Schneidman after the game, Jones indicated that he wanted to come back into yesterday's game, but was held out by the training staff:
Aaron Jones postgame on his ankle: "X-rays were fine, but they decided to hold me. It was frustrating b/c I felt like I could have went, but they were being smart. I definitely respect them because after I stopped moving around and I sat still for a while, it got kind of sore."

It's good to know the Packers will have their incredibly talented running back available against the Dallas Cowboys. (Insert your own "so they can ignore him" joke here)

No, they're not going to ignore him because he's the only chance they have vs. Dallas; not many other options at this point.

This offseason, Aaron Jones is going to be one of the most valuable assets we have if we want to make a trade. He's under contract and his salary wouldn't be prohibitive for the acquiring team.
Rest him, play Hill.

He should have been moved a week ago. Would have rolled some salary cap savings over into next year. The only marketable assets the GBP had was Gary who is done and Jones. This team is circling the drain into the giant salary cap cesspool.

The packers had Reggie White. Unless the Packers change back to the 4-3-4. There will be No rainbow.
Gutey planned for tomorrow with Love. But he just hasn't got a clue. Timing is everything!!!
