Packers’ Aaron Jones ‘highly unlikely’ to play Thursday against Lions

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur says running back Aaron Jones’ knee problem makes him “highly unlikely” to play Thursday at Detroit but likely won’t require him to go on injured reserve. LaFleur said Musgrave’s abdominal injury required a trip to the hospital and added that “certainly it was a scary situation.” “He’s got a pretty significant injury,” LaFleur said. Taylor said “literally two minutes, three minutes” after he’d made that prediction, his agent called with the news that Packers director of football operations Russ Ball had reached out to him. But I am grateful for the opportunity to be back here and be back with my boys, and play with the Packer ‘G.’“ NOTES: LaFleur said the Packers’ release of Dallin Leavitt had “zero” to do with the start of Sunday’s game, when the veteran safety committed two penalties on the opening kickoff.
