Days like Sunday, though, show why the Packers drafted A.J. Dillon so high and why, whether it’s for the next couple weeks or at any point in the future, the Packers should be just fine were they to lean on Dillon as the feature back.

Jones is said to have suffered a sprained MCL, which could keep him out a couple of weeks. The story said after the injury, Jones had tears in his eyes and was looking for his family in the stands. The Packers have always seemed to use caution with Jones so perhaps an IR stint will happen. The team didn't update Jones' status after the game but we'll likely hear something soon. It appears Dillon will be in store for a much bigger workload at least for the short term, and as the story said, Dillon's improvement in the passing game should mean a smooth transition for the offense.
