RB Aaron Jones active for Packers vs 49ers

Running back Aaron Jones is active for the Green Bay Packers against the San Francisco 49ers after missing the previous two games with a calf injury

NOVEMBER 6, 2020 • Associated Press

Packers RB Aaron Jones active for 'TNF' vs. 49ers Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) is officially active for Thursday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

NOVEMBER 5, 2020 • NFL.COM

Slated to be available Thursday Jones (calf) is expected to suit up for Thursday's contest at San Francisco, pending a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Notably, Schefter stated the Packers intend to be "careful" with Jones and see how his calf reacts to the aforementioned warmup, but they also expect him to be available to the offense. If he indeed is active, Jones may only be used in an emergency with two other healthy bodies (Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams) available to the backfield. However, Jones has averaged 110 yards from scrimmage per game and scored seven touchdowns in five appearances this season, so there's still a decent chance he contributes to the box score.

Impact Listed as a limited practice participant on each of the Packers' three reports this week, Jones hasn't proven that he's completely moved past the calf strain that has sidelined him for the team's past two games. That being said, Jones has apparently shown improvement over the past few days, so the Packers will likely clear him to play if he can make it through an early warmup without issue. Clarification on Jones' status one way or the other should come approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Packers release their inactive list. If Jones is available, Rapoport notes that the running back could be in store for a limited role, which supports what Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported earlier Thursday. With AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams already ruled out for Week 9 after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tyler Ervin -- who has lined up mostly out wide or in the slot this season -- and practice squad callup Dexter Williams are the only other healthy running backs on the roster.

Status up in air for Thursday Jones (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at San Francisco, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones' practice reps were capped this week as he works his way back from a strained calf. Both coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett expect Jones to be "a game-time deal," per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, so the running back's availability (or lack thereof) Thursday likely will come down to a pregame workout. The Packers could use his services, as AJ Dillon tested positive for COVID-19 this week and Jamaal Williams is unavailable because he was considered to be a high-risk close contact of Dillon's. Aside from Jones, the team has two available backs (Tyler Ervin and practice-squad member Dexter Williams) to handle work.

To be game-time decision Coach Matt LaFleur said a decision on whether Jones (calf) will play this week will come down to the wire ahead of Thursday's game at San Francisco, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Pres...

Impact Jones was listed as LP on Monday's practice estimate and officially was a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through. Ideally, the Packers would like him to elevate to full by Wednesday, but considering the state of their backfield, waiting until a pregame workout Thursday seems like a prudent approach. With both Jamaal Williams (not injury related) and AJ Dillon (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jones, Tyler Ervin and practice squad member Dexter Williams are the only running backs available to the Packers. As a result, Jones may have a huge workload this week if he's able to get past (or play through) his strained calf.

Limited in return to practice Jones (calf) was limited at Tuesday's walk-through, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones and Tyler Ervin are the only available running backs on the active roster, with Dexter Williams waiting in the wings on the practice squad, after Jamaal Williams (not injury related) landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to being a high-risk close contact of AJ Dillon (illness). Jones seems to have a chance to play Thursday at San Francisco after practicing for the first time since Week 6 prep, but much may depend on how he fares in Wednesday's session. If he's able to prove his health, he likely will be the lead back, with Ervin and potentially practice-squadder Williams taking on complementary roles.

Limited on practice estimate Jones (calf) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Jones missed a second straight game in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, as the Packers have been taking a precautionary approach to his return. Although the team didn't hold practice, Monday's practice estimate signals that Jones will return to the field Tuesday, affording him a chance to play Thursday against the 49ers. His presence is even more important now that rookie AJ Dillon is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, as Jamaal Williams is the only remaining healthy running back on the active roster.
