Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) not expected to play on MNF

Dec 11, 2023

The Packers are set to play another game without running back Aaron Jones.

Jones was limited in practice all week because of the knee injury that has kept him out of the team’s last two games and he was listed as questionable on Saturday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Jones is not expected to play against the Giants on Monday night, however.

Fantasy Impact:

If Jones is out, it will be the sixth game he's missed due to injuries this season, the story pointed out. Dillon has served as the lead back in Jones’ absence from the lineup and would continue in that role with Taylor as the No. 2. The Packers could also elevate Drake from the practice squad for further backfield depth, the story went on to say.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
