Green Bay RB Aaron Jones rebounds from injuries to help lead Packers into postseason

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — This hasn’t been a typical season for Green Bay’s Aaron Jones, but the veteran running back has regained his peak form just in time to help the Packers reach the playoffs. I feel like that’s the biggest thing.” Jones rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown last season as the Packers rallied from a two-touchdown, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Cowboys 31-28 in overtime at Lambeau Field. Jones, cornerback Jaire Alexander and defensive tackle Kenny Clark are the only three guys on Green Bay’s 53-man active roster who played for Mike McCarthy, who’s now the Cowboys coach. “One of the best dudes I’ve met.” Jones showed his commitment to the Packers by restructuring his contract and taking a pay cut this season to stay in Green Bay, where his leadership sparked a late-season surge.
