The Green Bay Packers are going to need all the help they can get if they hope to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Leading up to the important NFC matchup, Green Bay receives a massive update on Aaron Jones.
According to Tom Pelissero, “Aaron Jones is active.” This is huge for the Packers, as they receive their star running back in time to play the Rams. Green Bay has been dealing with a lot of drama and injuries lately, so having Jones back in the lineup is enlightening news for this franchise.
#Packers RB Aaron Jones is active, I’m told.

Aaron Jones is a spectacular running back and is a versatile weapon for the Packers. Considering Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a toe injury himself, Green Bay might have to rely on the run game more often than usual. This is an opportunity for this team to get back in the win column by utilizing their strong one-two punch out of the backfield.
AJ Dillion has been phenomenal in Jones' absence. For that reason, he should be very involved on Sunday. Aaron Jones will be the main option, but Dillon provides consistency in the rushing attack as well. The Packers would be smart to play both of their running backs against the Rams.
With Rodgers missing out on practice throughout the week, the passing game could be a bit wonky. Look for the Packers to grind the clock and run often against Los Angeles. This will give them their best chances of winning the game and regaining control of the NFC.
