On Sunday, both the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys have a lot to prove. The Packers want to surprise the NFL world by having their third consecutive franchise quarterback. The Cowboys want to show the NFL that they can finally make it to the playoffs.
The Packers will almost certainly have to do so without one of their offensive starters.
The Green Bay Packers’ 25-year-old is expected to miss the team’s playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.
According to ESPN’s Demovsky, running back A.J. Dillon has been listed as questionable for the Packers’ Wild Card game this weekend.
Dillon missed workouts for the third day in a row on Friday, so his selection for Sunday makes sense. If Dillon misses a second consecutive game due to a neck stinger, the Packers’ backfield will be in good hands with Jones.
Jones has rushed for more than 100 yards in three consecutive games. Patrick Taylor will most likely handle any RB reps not given to Jones.
Jones has had a lot of success against the Cowboys throughout his career. Jones has rushed 62 times for 370 yards and six touchdowns in three career games against the Cowboys.
