Packers' Aaron Jones (calf strain) now a game-time decision
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones, who suffered a mild calf strain in practice this week, traveled with the team to Houston and is expected to test out his injured calf during pre-game warmups.
What It Means:
Jones will be a game-time decision for Week 7, but it's fair to question whether or not the team will feel comfortable using him in his usual role. MRIs this week revealed he is dealing with a mild calf strain, but the team may play it safe with their star running back.
If Jones is not able to play in Week 7, expect Jamaal Williams to lead the way in touches with second-round rookie A.J. Dillon seeing significant work for the first time this season. Dillon saw a season-high 5 carries in the team's blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week and took them for 31 yards.
