On Sunday at 3:25 p.m. Central Time, the Green Bay Packers will face the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card round. Despite popular and expert forecasts, the Packers had a stunning second half of the season and managed to secure their berth in the playoffs. They will, however, face a difficult challenge because Dallas has the league’s highest-scoring offense. Unfortunately, one of the Packers’ starters received some bad news today.
AJ Dillon has been ruled out of the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Running back AJ Dillon was the lone player who did not participate in today’s practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Dillon had been nursing a stinger and did not play against Chicago last Sunday.
If AJ Dillon participated on Sunday, it would be a huge lift for the team. The Packers have been plagued by injuries all season, but Dillon was the only player who did not practice today. This is fantastic news for the team as they prepare for a difficult match-up.
With running back Aaron Jones performing admirably, it would be great to have Dillon return to provide an adequate second option in the run game.
