The one-two punch of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon was reduced to a one-man show when Dillon exited the Green Bay Packers’ 13-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the second half on Saturday night.
And now we know why.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Dillon suffered a fractured rib while playing on the kickoff return team in the third quarter. He left the game and didn’t return.
Per Rapoport, the injury was serious enough that Dillon probably wouldn’t have played in the NFC title game had the Packers advanced.
