The Green Bay Packers’ offense is expected to a get a nice boost on Sunday afternoon.
According to reports, Packers running back Aaron Jones is expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams.
Jones had missed last week’s game with a knee injury. He was at first expected to miss multiple games, though he’s reportedly made a nice recovery.
“Packers’ RB Aaron Jones, listed as questionable due to a knee injury, wants to play vs. the Rams but Green Bay also has a bye next week and can get two weeks of rest for him if he doesn’t play Sunday, per source. Packers not expected to make final decision until pre-game warmups,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted.

This would be a very nice boost to a Packers offense that will likely need to put up some points against the Rams.
