The Green Bay Packers backfield could be extremely depleted in Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are listed as questionable for Sunday, Adam Schefter reports. Jones hasn’t played in a while and last played on Nov. 19 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is dealing with an MCL injury and has been limited in practice this week, making it unlikely he will play. In seven games, the Packers RB has 3.7 yards per carry and two touchdowns. It’s been a bit of a bad year for Jones.
As for Dylan, he has a broken thumb and will be out of practice for most of the week. He reportedly suffered the injury in last Monday’s loss to the New York Giants. He’s not having a great season, averaging 3.5 yards per rush in 13 games, including six starts.The Packers’ running game has struggled all year, ranking 19th in the NFL. If Jones and Dillon can’t go, the bulk of the work will fall to Patrick Taylor.
He’s only had 20 carries this season, but is averaging 5 yards per carry. He’s respectable, but it remains to be seen if he can consistently produce as a starting pitcher.Green Bay enters this Buccaneers game needing a win, and a wild card is still on the horizon. Jordan Love, if both backs are bad, I think I’ll play the monster game
