As of Week 12 of the 2023 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers had a record of 4-6. With Aaron Rodgers gone, the team is rebuilding, and their inconsistent performance has reflected that as well.
Here are some updates on three important players and a look at the team’s injury report ahead of their Week 12 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Now, let’s get started without further ado.
An update on Aaron Jones’ injuries
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reports that Aaron Jones’ sprained MCL will probably keep him out of the Packers’ Week 12 match. The standout running back is anticipated to make a comeback before the season is out.
The good news is that Jones won’t be placed on injured reserve, according to head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers. Thus, it is anticipated that the seasoned running back will miss no more than four games.
This season, franchise running back Aaron Jones of the Packers has amassed 245 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Such a potent threat cannot be replaced, so Jordan Love will need to step up during the next few weeks in the absence of his safety net.
Update on AJ Dillon’s injuries
AJ Dillon reportedly had limitations during Tuesday’s practice. The backup running back is still having trouble staying healthy as the 2023 season approaches its conclusion.
But because of Aaron Jones’ injury, if Dillon is cleared to play in Week 12, we anticipate him to be a key player.
Update on Jaire Alexander’s injuries
Due to a shoulder injury, Jaire Alexander was unable to play in Week 11 and has not been able to play much in practice since. Being one of the best defensive backs in the league, the cornerback’s health is critical to the Packers’ defense.
But Corey Ballentine would be a good choice to take his place temporarily if he isn’t prepared to play by Thanksgiving Day.
