Aaron Jones' Absence Continues in Training Camp
6 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) still shows no signs of participating in practice. Jones is out with what is claimed to be just some tightness in his hamstring, however there appears to be no timetable on his return. Jones is suspended for the first two weeks of the regular season for a marijuana related charge from 2017. Although there isn’t much concern about Jones missing additional time in the regular season due to the injury, he really needs to participate in camp so that he isn’t lagging too far behind when he returns. He already has a steep road to receiving a significant share of the touches and his continued absence makes that seem even more unlikely. Jones is the most talented runner with the ball in his hands on Green Bay’s roster, but injury and pass-protection concerns are threatening his playing time. He has a high ceiling but should generally be viewed with caution for 2018.
