RustyMiller 1,247 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Seems like he'll be limited even if he does play. https://www.nfl.com/news/even-if-packers-rb-aaron-jones-suits-up-tonight-don-t-expect-a-normal-workload NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Good Morning Football that he does not hear optimism about Jones' status. "Even if he suits up, it's going to be nowhere near a normal role for him," Garafolo added. The Packers are without backup Jamaal Williams and rookie A.J. Dillon due to COVID-19 protocols. Green Bay has rightfully taken a cautious approach with Jones this season, not wanting to turn an injury that keeps him out a few weeks into one that knocks the stud running back out the entire season. Jones, in the final year of his contract, has been pushing to play. With Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams as the only other running backs ready to play, it's possible Jones talks his way onto the field. If he does, don't expect Matt LaFleur to give Jones his normal workload in his first game back Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtywater97 1,074 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Part of me wonders how much this is GB just trying to lower the price for contract negotiations. I'm sure overall health for a playoff push plays a role too, but the contract aspect definitely factors in too. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamall just went out their and killed it, think this could be a combination of things considering how much Jones was wanting to be paid. Link to post Share on other sites

UcanTry 338 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I mean all this if he plays he might not play doesn’t really help. With bye weeks, Covid, injuries etc I don’t know how you can sit him if your in a competitive league. My backup was Williams in case of a Jones injury and AJ Dillion screwed me there. Are we benching and gambling on Dexter or Ervin? Link to post Share on other sites

Are we benching and gambling on Dexter or Ervin? Likely playing him if he's active. Even at a 30% snap count, I still like Jones to be better than replacement level. Link to post Share on other sites

Are we benching and gambling on Dexter or Ervin? Wondering this as well, not feeling great with Dexter or Ervin but might be out of choices. Hopefully Jones plays, even at half capacity he's better than a replacement player. Link to post Share on other sites
leffe186 662 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yeah, there are a few awkward bye weeks out there, plus injuries. Hunt/Chubb, Ekeler, Mixon/Bernard, Rams RBs, Sanders/Scott, Mostert, Gaskin, Drake, plus all the bye week WRs for FLEX. All out there on rosters, plus plenty of other guys you'd be playing Jones over. If he goes I'm just going to roll him out there, expecting/hoping for a short yardage TD.

JoeJoe88 1,164 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Ughh, I hate these situations. Just sit him GB. I’m not trying to stare at a zero until Sunday because he was active but never actually came in the game. Link to post Share on other sites

iamkoza 72 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 so what his agent dm'd rapsheet and schefty at the same time? he only plays 50% of the snaps when healthy anyway, how much more can they limit his role? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thissity thissity this!! If Aaaron Jones plays a third of the snaps tonight, he's still a top 10 RB. Only way I bench him is if they say he's only active as an emergency RB. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

yanksman 3,781 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He very well can be ACTIVE only in an emergency role like Fournette. VERY risky start. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
