A few important player availability updates from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network ahead of Thursday night’s showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions: running back Aaron Jones and receiver Christian Watson are expected to return from injuries and play, but cornerback Jaire Alexander looks like a long shot to go.
Pelissero said Watson, who missed the first three games of the year with a hamstring injury, will make his 2023 season debut but is expected to be on a pitch count. Jones is also expected to return and split time with backup A.
