The Green Bay Packers could be pretty thin at running back when they suit up to face the San Francisco 49ers this Thursday.
The Packers announced Tuesday that running back Jamaal Williams was being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, where he will join fellow running back A.J. Dillon. The reserve/COVID-19 list denotes players who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or have been in close contact with a known positive.
Both players will miss Thursday’s game, and the fate of the Packers’ running game could rest on starter Aaron Jones being able to return from a calf injury during a short week.
