After sitting out Week 8 with a calf injury, there's a chance that running back could be on the field for Thursday's game against the , but if he can't play, things could get dicey for Green Bay.As things currently stand, even if he does play Jones will be in a limited role, . The Packers usually have Taylor Heinicke Jersey A.J. Dillon and in the second and third spots on the depth chart at running back, but both players were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week, which makes them ineligible to play Thursday.If Jones can't go, that means the Packers will be forced to play two running backs -- and -- who are so far down the depth chart that there's a good chance that most fans had never heard of them before this week.

"I think as a competitor you're ," Rodgers said this week, via the team's official website. "You'd love having your guys in there at full strength, for sure, but there is that fun challenge of going in there without some of those guys and trying to find a way to win."This isn't the first time this season that the Packers have been mi sing some offensive firepower. won't be playing on Thursday, marking the third time he's mi sed a game this year.

"No different this week."As for the two new guys who will likely see the brunt of the workload against the 49ers, Rodgers seems to be a fan of both of them. "I love Williams ," Rodgers said. "Dex has a really good attitude. He's done a nice job of growing up in the offense Daron Payne Jersey and feeling more comfortable with the checks and his responsibilities in pa s blocking and route-running. It seems like he's a little more settled this year and feeling more confident."As for Ervin, Rodgers likes the fact that he can basically play any offensive skill position."He can do a lot," Rodgers said. "He can play receiver. He can be our fly-option guy. He can play in the backfield. With those two guys in the protocol, we're going to have to have him play an even bigger role this week to make sure we're getting our best guys on the field." There's a good chance both players will likely see some serious action on Thursday and that's because even if Jones does play, he's not expected to be on the field for every play.
