AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) questionable for Packers in Divisional Round
Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) is questionable for the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night, per head coach Matt LaFleur.
What It Means:
Dillon has a chance to return from a two-game absence and reclaim the backup running back job. He ran the ball seven times in each of his last two appearances. Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor will continue to fill in behind Aaron Jones if Dillon remains out.
numberFire's models project Dillon for 8.0 touches and 35.1 yards from scrimmage on Saturday. The 49ers have the No. 19 run defense and No. 5 pass defense in our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, so the Packers may look to emphasize the ground game.
