Aaron Jones (hamstring) returns to Packers practice Thursday
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday.
What It Means:
Jones practiced for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the Packers' opener. He was reportedly moving well and seems to be trending toward playing in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. AJ Dillon will return to a backup role if Jones is cleared for action.
Jones still put up 25.7 FanDuel points in Week 1 with the injury, via 41 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, 2 catches, and 2 touchdowns. The Saints have the No. 22 adjusted rushing defense and No. 3 passing defense in the NFL through two weeks, according to numberFire's metrics, so the Packers may want to focus on establishing the run.
