Uncomfortable with the current injury diagnosis and unwilling to risk worsening a repeated injury to his neck, the Green Bay Packers made the difficult decision to place running back A.J. Dillon on season-ending injured reserve during final cuts on Tuesday.
Dillon suffered his second stinger in nine months during the Packers’ second-to-last week of training camp. Now on injured reserve without a return designation, Dillon’s season with the Packers — and possibly his career in Green Bay — is over. General manager Brian Gutekunst explained the delicate process of placing Dillon injured reserve this week.
