Aaron Jones

GB Running Back #33

Aaron Jones (hamstring) is inactive for Week 3 against the Saints.

AJ Dillon will get the starting nod again this week. Dillon totaled 16 touches for 63 scoreless yards in his Week 2 start. Playing the bulk of the snaps, he should see an uptick in receiving work versus the Saints. He projects for RB2 numbers this week.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson (hamstring) is inactive for Week 3 against the Saints.

Also inactive for the Packers are CB Jaire Alexander, RB Aaron Jones, DB Anthony Johnson, DB Zayne Anderson, OL David Bakhtiari, and OL Elgton Jenkins. Watson is still working his way through the hamstring issue he suffered just before the start of the season. Given his track record fo soft-tissue injuries, the Packers are clearly letting him fully recover before rushing him back into action. Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs will handle the bulk of the targets for Green Bay in Week 3.
David Bakhtiari

GB Tackle #69

Packers LT David Bakhtiari (knee) is questionable for Week 3 against the Saints.

Fellow offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins was ruled out. Bakhtiari did not practice at all this week, but the veteran left tackle could still play. He missed last week with his knee injury and has dealt with various knee issues since suffering a torn ACL in 2020. Last week, Yosh Nijman and Rasheed Walker both saw reps at left tackle.
Jaire Alexander

GB Cornerback #23

Packers CB Jaire Alexander (back) is questionable for Week 3 against the Saints.

Also questionable for Week 3 are EDGE Lukas Van Ness and LT David Bakhtiari. Alexander did not appear on the injury report until Friday, indicating he suffered the injury during Green Bay’s final practice of the week. Should he be forced to sit versus the Saints, Chris Olave’s path to another 100-yard game would become even more clear.
Aaron Jones

GB Running Back #33

Aaron Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Week 3 against the Saints.

Jones missed Week 2 because of the hamstring issue but got in a trio of limited practice sessions this week. That puts him on the right side of questionable for Sunday, though it’s still possible Green Bay sits him for another week. He would be a risky RB2 option if he is active. His return would knock AJ Dillon down into the RB3/4 range.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Week 3 against the Saints.

Watson has missed the Packers’ first two games of the year because of the hamstring issue but got in a pair of limited practices this week. He is truly a game-time call versus the Saints. Even if he can go, it’s safe to say his reps will be severely limited. Fantasy managers should wait a week before throwing him back into the lineup.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday.

The most likely outcome is that Watson will be listed as a limited participant for Friday’s session and get a questionable tag heading into the weekend. Watson has yet to play this year and missed time in his rookie season with a hamstring issue. The Packers may choose to sit him one more week to ensure he doesn’t re-aggravate the injury. If he does miss Week 3, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed will be in line for strong workloads once again.
David Bakhtiari

GB Tackle #69

Packers LT David Bakhtiari (knee) did not practice Friday.

Bakhtiari missed Week 2 with the knee issue and will almost certainly be ruled out later today. He has had lingering knee issues since tearing his ACL in 2020 and will likely have his workload managed through the season. Yosh Nijman and Rasheed Walker both saw snaps at left tackle in Week 2.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson (rest) did not practice on Thursday.

There’s no reason to panic here. Head coach Matt LaFleur said part of team’s plan for Watson was to rest him on Thursday after he returned to practice on Wednesday. Watson hasn’t practiced for weeks and is likely being eased back into things as a precaution. We’re assuming Watson will be back on the field in some capacity on Friday, and that he’ll have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Saints barring any setbacks.
Aaron Jones

GB Running Back #33

Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Jones was a DNP to start the week, but was back on the field Thursday. The star running back missed Week 2 against the Falcons after torching the Bears for 127 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns the previous week, but could be in line for Week 3’s matchup against the Saints. We’ll see how he progresses throughout the week. Jones’ injury was reportedly “not considered serious” by the team last week. If he’s active and given his normal workload, Jones will have fringe top-12 upside against the Saints.
