Packers' Aaron Jones 'highly unlikely' to play Thursday against Lions

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur says running back Aaron Jones’ knee problem makes him “highly unlikely” to play Thursday at Detroit but likely won’t require him to go on injured reserve.

“Very relieved that it’s not anything long term,” LaFleur said Tuesday.

Jones, who was carted to the locker room late in the second quarter of Green Bay’s 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, is one of 17 Packers listed on the injury report heading into Thursday’s game.

One of the most noteworthy cases involves tight end Luke Musgrave.
