Returning to Green Bay Dillon (thumb/neck) is in line to re-sign with the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Considering Dillon missed the last three games of the season (including playoffs) due to a neck stinger, his return to Green Bay is pending a physical. Assuming he clears that hurdle, he'll be a part of a revamped backfield with Josh Jacobs swapping in for Aaron Jones as the team's top runner. A 2020 second-round pick, Dillon averaged 59.8 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 16 total touchdowns in 49 contests over the last three campaigns.

Status in question for Saturday Coach Matt LaFleur said Dillon (thumb/neck) will be questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game at San Francisco, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Dillon made his first notable on-field work Thursday since sustaining a neck stinger Week 17 at Minnesota. At the very least, he took part in the team stretch and had his helmet on prior to drills, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Dillon thus has a chance to reclaim his standing as the team's No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones (knee/finger) this weekend, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes for Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Another DNP on Thursday Dillon (thumb/neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Dillon was knocked out of the Packers' Week 17 win at Minnesota with a stinger that hasn't afforded him any official on-field work in the meantime. Having said that, he joined his teammates for Thursday's team stretch before moving to the rehab group, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. The development may mean Dillon has made some progress in his recovery, but he now has just one more opportunity to practice Friday before Green Bay potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's wild-card contest in Dallas.

Out for Week 18 Dillon (neck/thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Dillon missed Week 15 with a broken thumb and then suffered a stringer Week 17. It would seem to be the latter injury that's preventing him from playing this week, though it's also worth noting that he hasn't been targeted with a pass in two appearances since he broke his thumb. Dillon's next chance to play will be in the wild-card round if the Packers can beat Chicago without him this Sunday while using Patrick Taylor off the bench behind Aaron Jones.

Dealing with stinger Dillon is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after being diagnosed with a stinger, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dillon suffered the injury in the third quarter and was spotted on the sideline rubbing his hand and wrist area. The exact nature of the issue is unclear, though with Aaron Jones leading the backfield effectively, Green Bay could opt to play it safe with Dillon. Prior to exiting, he had recorded seven carries for 27 yards.

Clear for Sunday's contest Dillon (thumb) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Both Aaron Jones (knee/finger) and Dillon operated with practice restrictions this week, but both players will be available to the Packers offense Sunday. In Week 16 at Carolina, Jones dominated the touches (22) and snap share (52 percent) on his way to 135 yards from scrimmage, while Dillon had seven carries for 12 yards and one touchdown on 18 percent of the plays. Dillon may increase that share due to being another week removed from the broken right thumb that sidelined him Week 15, but considering how Jones is running at the moment, the former may be relegated to short-yardage situations.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited Thursday Dillon (thumb) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Impact Dillon remains impacted by the broken right thumb that kept him sidelined for a Week 15 loss to the Buccaneers. He was able to play through it this past Sunday in Carolina, but he earned a season-low snap share (18 percent) on his way to seven carries for 12 yards and one touchdown. Fellow running back Aaron Jones (knee/finger) also has had a cap on his reps this week, so Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not the pair enter the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's visit to the Vikings.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Wednesday Dillon (thumb) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Impact The Packers' backfield duo of Dillon and Aaron Jones (knee/finger) continue to operate with practice restrictions as the team dives into Week 17 prep. In his return from a one-game absence this past Sunday at Carolina, Dillon received 12 snaps on offense, which resulted in seven carries for 12 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, Jones had 22 touches for 135 yards from scrimmage on a 52 percent snap share. Assuming both players are able to suit up Sunday in Minnesota, Dillon likely will serve as a distant complementary piece to Jones.

Returning to action in Week 16 Dillon (thumb) is active for Sunday's game in Carolina, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Dillon will put an end to a one-game absence due to a broken right thumb, but the primary reason he missed last Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers in the first place was ball-security issues. The Packers appear to believe it won't be a problem for Dillon as he rejoins Aaron Jones (knee/finger) in the team's backfield. In the seven games (Weeks 1, 4 and 7-11) in which both running backs have been available this season, Dillon racked up 71 carries for 241 yards,15 catches (on 19 targets) for 138 yards and no touchdowns.
