LaFleur said that running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) and receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) were on a pitch count against the Lions, claiming that the team wanted “to be careful with them.” Jones had been out since he pulled his hamstring in Week 1, while Watson made his regular season debut yesterday.
