Team news: Green Bay Packers | Page 22

A.J. Dillon should have a bigger role in Green Bay's backfield next year since Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are set to be free agents after this season. The Packers (12-3) already gave lucrative extensions to defensive tackle Kenny Clark and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, so it's hard to imagine they'll be able to keep both Jones and Williams.

The story added Dillon could even see more time during the Packers playoff run, which could hurt the fantasy value of Jones and Williams, perhaps especially Williams who is dealing with an injury but has been the change of pace back to Jones most of this season. It seems like there is a good chance one of Jones or Williams will be playing somewhere else next season, giving Dillon a much bigger role in 2021 with the Pack.

RB Jamaal Williams is not at practice today.

Williams injured his quad early last Saturday night and didn’t return, which meant a huge workload - and game - for Jones. While Jones would likely get a big workload again against the Titans on Sunday night in Week 16, Dillon, with more prep time this week, may get a few more touches than he did last week.

Jamaal Williams' thigh injury isn't considered to be severe, but how he fares in rehab will determine his availability for next Sunday's game versus the Titans, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

After Williams left the game in Week 15, it was all Jones with the exception of a couple of chances for Dillon. It's looking like it could be a similar pattern for Week 16 when the Packers take on the Titans on SNF. Williams status will need to be monitored this week. If he can't go, Dillon would line up as the team's RB2 behind Jones.

After posting on Instagram that he wasn’t playing, Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is dressed and being active as part of the Raiders’ pregame.

Was Jacobs trolling his followers? It’s possible. As mentioned before, the Raiders did declare Theo Riddick inactive. That would only leave Jalen Richard behind Devontae Booker if Jacobs doesn’t play. The guess right now is that he will see the field.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs posted on his Instagram that he is active for Sunday’s game against the Colts, but that he will not play.

Jacobs was questionable with an ankle injury but the Raiders did not declare him as an inactive. If this is the case, the Raiders will likely lean heavily on Devontae Booker against the inconsistent Colts defense. Fellow RB Theo Riddick was declared inactive. Our own John Paulsen believes this is a poorly timed joke. Pay attention to John's feed for more updates.
