The Packers should rest Aaron Jones this week to make sure he’s fully recovered from a calf injury.

The Green Bay Packers have already missed star wide receiver Davante Adams for almost three games this season. They don’t want to lose Aaron Jones for a similar amount of time.

Jones missed practice on Thursday. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jones has a “very mild calf strain” which he suffered in practice and he’ll be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Houston Texans.
