Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones practiced Thursday for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jones’ return to the practice field opens the door to him playing Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, but the current status of Christian Watson — who didn’t practice Thursday after a limited session Wednesday — demonstrates the uncertain nature of hamstring injuries.
Jones was originally injured at the end of a 35-yard touchdown in the third quarter against the Bears.
