Packers RB Aaron Jones Week 3: Latest News, Injury Updates, and Fantasy Outlook
**
**Packers RB Aaron Jones banged up following knee injury**
**Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones suffered a knee injury in the team's Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The injury occurred in the third quarter when Jones was tackled awkwardly after a 12-yard run, resulting in a missed game for Green Bay's Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.**
**Latest news on Jones' injury**
**According to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, Jones underwent an MRI on Monday, which revealed a Grade 2 MCL sprain. This injury typically requires a recovery time of 2-4 weeks, making it likely that Jones will miss multiple games.**
**LaFleur stated that the team will take a "week-to-week" approach with Jones' recovery. The Packers have a bye in Week 6, which could provide Jones with additional time to heal.**
**Fantasy outlook for Jones**
**The injury to Jones is a significant blow to the Packers' offense. Jones is one of the NFL's most explosive running backs, and his absence will be felt in Green Bay's running game.**
**In Jones' absence, AJ Dillon is expected to receive the majority of the carries in the Packers' backfield. Dillon is a capable runner, but he doesn't possess the same level of explosiveness as Jones.**
**Fantasy owners who have Jones on their roster should consider adding Dillon as a potential replacement. Dillon is widely available on the waiver wire in most leagues. He could be a solid flex option for fantasy owners in the coming weeks.**
**Packers schedule with Jones potentially out**
**Week 3: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers**
**Week 4: @ New England Patriots**
**Week 5: vs. New York Giants**
**Week 6: BYE**
**Week 7: @ Washington Commanders**
**Week 8: vs. Buffalo Bills**
