In his first game back from injury, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones totaled 69 yards on 17 touches against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jones had been sidelined the last three games, dealing with an MCL sprain that he suffered against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“We all know the type of competitor he is and how tough he is,” said Matt LaFleur of Jones post-game. “That’s evident. I think a lot of guys wouldn’t have even been out there today, quite honestly.”
Prior to the game, Matt LaFleur told Wayne Larrivee on the Packers Radio Network that the team was going to monitor Jones and that he wasn’t going to see his normal workload.
