The Green Bay Packers running game struggled early in the 2023 season. Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener which set the ground game back. A.J. Dillon was struggling to run with authority, the offensive line had trouble blocking for the run and the team committed too many penalties that often put the offense in second or third and long situations.
Jones suffered another injury in the Packers win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Packers have managed to keep on winning without their starting running back. Furthermore, the running game has managed to be effective despite the absence of Jones, where earlier in the season it was not.
