The Green Bay Packers might be without their top running back on Sunday against the Houston Texans.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Packers running back Aaron Jones suffered a calf injury during Thursday’s practice and missed Friday’s practice, likely making him a game-time decision against the Texans.
Pelissero described the injury as “very mild” and revealed Jones wants to play on Sunday.
The Packers will list Jones on Friday’s final injury report. They will designate him as out, doubtful or questionable, but most game-time decisions receive the questionable labeling.
If he can’t go, the Packers would lean on Jamaal Williams and rookie A.J. Dillon as the primary running backs against the Texans’ league-worst run defense.
Through five games, Jones has 389 rushing yards, 550 total yards and seven total touchdowns.
In general, the Packers have been cautious about injuries early in the season.
