Team news: Green Bay Packers | Page 10

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that tests came back negative on RB Aaron Jones' injured ankle.

As the story went on to say, things are looking up for Jones, but his practice status this week will determine whether he plays against the Cowboys on Sunday. Dillon would assume the lead role if Jones can't play. Hill would possibly jump into a more significant role with Jones out. He's fresh off the IR and had one carry last week.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs has a high-ankle sprain. Those are generally 4-6 week injuries, though further tests will determine the timeframe. But another target for Aaron Rodgers to miss time.

This offense was an abject disaster before Doubs went down, and stud running back Aaron Jones may be forced to miss time as well. Seventh-round rookie Samori Toure stepped in and logged a season-high 28 snaps, turning four targets into a 2-34 line. Outside of Allen Lazard working as a fantasy WR3, this entire passing offense is a stay-away after the team managed nine points against the NFL's worst defense in Week 9.

Tests on Packers’ RB Aaron Jones’ ankle today came back negative and, “(Jones) should be able to play this week.”

Jones played deep into the second half of Sunday's game before suffering his ankle injury, with A.J. Dillon carrying almost the whole role after he went down, including three carries and two targets over the game's final two drives. If Jones is limited in any way against the Cowboys next week, we can expect an uptick in usage for Dillon.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions with an ankle injury.

As if the Packers' day couldn't get any worse, as their offense has been non-existent so far against the Lions. Aaron Rodgers has thrown 3 interceptions and the Packers are currently being shutout, 8-0. Now, they'll try to come back without Doubs, who had 1 catch for 18 yards.

For the second straight day, TE Mark Andrews (shoulder, knee) and RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) did not practice.

Isaiah Likely is looking more and more like he should be in fantasy consideration for Monday Night Football, even if Andrews plays. As for the backfield, Kenyan Drake would take over lead back duties if Edwards were to miss, and would be an RB2.

Allen Lazard said he heard a “snap, crackle and pop” in his left shoulder and said this week vs. Buffalo is probably a no-go.

The Green Bay Packers' WR1 has eclipsed 70 receiving yards on only two occasions this season, so his departure from the lineup is probably not affecting your fantasy team too much. In a good passing offense, this would help raise the tide of other wide receivers but in Green Bay, it likely just means that you should be starting tight end Robert Tonyan and leaving Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins for all of the most desperate situations.

Ravens’ RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that would sideline him 4-6 weeks.

Related Players: Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill, Gus Edwards

After missing the entirety of the 2021 season, Dobbins has played in only four games this year, and may not be back until Week 13. Gus Edwards could return to action as early as this week but hasn't played himself since 2020. This backfield is a mess at the moment, with Kenyan Drake being the only usable piece, and that is only in the case that Edwards gets ruled out.

Christian Watson (hamstring) joins WR Jake Hanson (elbow) and WR Randall Cobb (ankle) on the sidelines for Thursday's practice.

Watson had been rotating in during Weeks 4 and 5 before missing last week's game, and it's trending toward that inevitability again. Sammy Watkins has been activated off IR and could be a go for Week 7, so targets could spread more spread out as the season continues, which is bad news for Allen Lazard.

RB A.J. Dillon added to report with a knee and is limited.

It's at least a good sign he was limited, but it's worth monitoring heading into Week 4. The Packers host the Patriots in a later afternoon game on Sunday.
