Cheese Curds, 7/5: Packers’ backfield won’t suffer too much after Jones’ suspension

The Green Bay Packers are losing their most explosive running back for the first two games of the 2018 season, as Aaron Jones received a two-game suspension from the NFL. However, despite Jones certainly being the team’s most explosive running back, the team shouldn’t suffer too much without him in the short term.

Even with Jones available, Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery were expected to see significant playing time. Montgomery in particular has had great success against the Bears in recent years; he had his big breakout as a running back against them late in 2016 and he broke a long touchdown run in Chicago again in 2017.
