Limited to 31 yards
Jones ran for 18 yards on 11 carries and added 13 yards on four catches during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The wintery elements made Jones an intriguing play Sunday, but the sophomore back still managed to tally less than 40 total yards for the third time in his last four contests. For much of the season, fans could excuse some poor yardage tallies thanks to some big touchdown totals, but Jones has now been held scoreless in three of his last four games. Fellow back Jamaal Williams hasn't been significantly better, but he has averaged 4.4 yards per carry over the past four games to Jones' 3.9.…read more

Bottled up on ground
Jones rushed 13 times for 38 yards and did not have a reception in Sunday's 37-8 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: The 49ers schemed a near-perfect gameplan against the Packers, stuffing Jones on the ground while limiting Aaron Rodgers to just 104 passing yards. Fantasy owners may have become accustomed to the 24-year-old's inconsistencies on the ground this season, as his fantasy point totals seem to be either monstrous or minuscule. Luckily for Jones and his owners, the Packers will have two very fantasy-friendly matchups against the Giants and the Redskins on tap, creating strong bounce-back potential…read more

Scores three TDs vs. Panthers
Jones carried 13 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Jones averaged an impressive 7.2 yards per carry while repeatedly gashing the Carolina run defense. He curiously wasn't targeted in the passing game but made up for that with his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season. Jones now has 14 total touchdowns on the season, tying him with Christian McCaffrey for the most in the NFL. He will face a difficult matchup in Week 12 against the 49ers after the upcoming bye.

Held in check by Chargers
Jones carried the ball eight times for 30 yards and caught one of four targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The Packers' offense got shut out in the first half and didn't have much more success after halftime, and as a result, Jones wound up with arguably his worst performance of the season. He should find more running room in Week 10 against a Panthers defense that just surrendered two TDs, one rushing and one receiving, to Derrick Henry.

Good to go in Week 9
Jones (shoulder) put in a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Jones was a limited participant in the Packers' first two practices of Week 9, but there never seemed to be much overwhelming concern about his availability to play Sunday. Expect Jones to serve in his usual capacity as the Packers' lead running back, though he could see his involvement in the passing game scaled back a little bit if top wideout Davante Adams (toe) -- who is being viewed as a game-time decision -- is cleared to play after a four-week absence.

Still has cap on practice reps
Jones (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones missed a handful of snaps on offense during a Week 8 win at Kansas City due to a shoulder injury, which now has impacted his practice reps for a second straight session. He'll aim for an uncapped showing Friday as the Packers ramp up for another visit to an AFC West opponent (Sunday against the Chargers in L.A.).

Dealing with shoulder injury
Jones (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the midst of his spectacular performance last Sunday at Kansas City, Jones left the contest to have his shoulder examined, an issue that's still a bother at the start of Week 9 prep. Jones, the NFL's leader in touchdowns with 11 at the midpoint of the season, will attempt to get back to full participation by week's end with an eye toward Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Goes off for 200-plus yards, two TDs
Jones (shoulder) rushed 13 times for 67 yards and caught seven passes (on eight targets) for 159 yards and two receiving touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Jones had to leave the contest with a shoulder injury at the tail end of the first half, but he was able to return after halftime and went on to post one of the better receiving lines from a running back we've seen this season. The 24-year-old did most of his damage on a pair of wheel routes out of the backfield where he and Aaron Rodgers exposed man coverage on a lone linebacker. Jones has made significant strides as a receiver this season, nearly doubling his aerial output from last season…read more

Returns to SNF
Jones (shoulder) was able to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones got injured in the first half but was able to retake the field after halftime. Fantasy owners relying on the 24-year-old running back can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Injures shoulder against Chiefs
Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Jones had been carving up Kansas City's defense prior to exiting, with 94 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in the first half, in addition to another would-be touchdown that was overturned on replay. Jamaal Williams -- who also has a touchdown already -- should step into the lead-back role with Jones on the mend.

Gains 83 yards, scores
Jones ran for 50 yards on 12 carries and added 33 yards and a touchdown on four catches during Sunday's 42-24 win over Oakland.
Analysis: Jones struck first during Sunday's offensive explosion, cutting upfield on a wheel route early in the first quarter and twisting around just in time for the 21-yard touchdown. The UTEP product has now scored at least once in five of seven games and recaptured the lead-back role after taking a backseat to Jamaal Williams in Week 6. How the Packers use the backs will likely vary week to week, but Jones has gotten more touches in four of the six games in which they have both played and is becoming…read more

Miscues mar victory
Jones rushed 11 times for 47 yards but lost a fumble in Monday night's 23-22 win over the Lions. He also caught four of his seven targets for 13 yards.
Analysis: Jones came crashing back to earth after his four-touchdown performance in Week 5. Not only did he cough the ball up on Green Bay's second offensive series, but he then dropped a wide-open, 33-yard touchdown on the next one. After that blunder, he gave way to Jamaal Williams, who capped that drive with a five-yard TD catch. While Jones would re-enter the game and produce decent results, it was Williams who wound up stealing the show, finishing with 14 rushes for 104 yards and four catches for 32…read more

May lose snaps with Williams back
Jones will likely notice a reduction in his offensive snap share Monday against the Lions with fellow running back Jamaal Williams on track to play after clearing the concussion protocol and practicing fully Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Williams exiting on the Packers' first possession of the Week 4 loss to the Eagles and sitting out the Week 5 win over the Cowboys entirely, Jones handled 84 and 68 percent snap shares, respectively, in the contests. Those workloads were his two largest of the season, and significantly above the cumulative 52.8 percent share he logged between Weeks 1 and 3, when Williams was fully healthy. While it's possible Jones earned himself a larger piece of the pie after his massive 182-yard,…read more

Record-tying day in Dallas
Jones carried the ball 19 times for 107 yards and four touchdowns and caught seven of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The running back tied the Packers' franchise record for TDs in a game while also setting a new career high in scrimmage yards. Jones has been a scoring machine to start the season -- he had four rushing TDs in his prior three games -- but he also topped the century mark in rushing yards for the second time in four weeks. He'll look to keep rolling next week at home against a Lions defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground so far in 2019.

Bell-cow role may await
Jones will likely be in store for an elevated snap count and extra touches with top backfield complement Jamaal Williams (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game in Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "I definitely think I can go toe-to-toe with him," Jones said earlier this week, when asked how he compares to the Cowboys' three-down back, Ezekiel Elliott. "I feel like that's something I did a couple of years back in Dallas when not a lot of people knew me. That was my first start. I definitely think I can go toe-to-toe."
Analysis: Jones is specifically referring to the 16-carry, 125-yard performance he turned in as a rookie in 2017, the first time he crossed the 100-yard mark in his career. Aside from a 116-yard outing versus the Vikings in Week 2, Jones has struggled to produce on the ground this season, but the absence of Williams leaves the Packers with few alternatives to turn to in the event the Dallas defense stymies the run game Sunday. Other than Jones, the only remaining backfield options on the 53-man roster…read more

Salvages line with score
Jones rushed 13 times for 21 yards and a touchdown while also bringing in six of seven targets for 37 yards in the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Jones' backfield mate Jamaal Williams exited the game on a cart due to a head injury in the first quarter, leaving Jones with a larger-than-usual workload in the passing game in addition to his rushing duties. Jones unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against Philadelphia's stalwart front seven, but he was able to power in from three yards out in the first quarter to open the scoring on the night. That touchdown, combined with his season-high six receptions, helped salvage a tough…read more

Listed as full practice participant
The Packers listed Jones (shoulder) as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Due to the quick turnaround for Thursday's game against the Eagles, the Packers aren't expected to hold an actual practice session until Wednesday. That said, the team's estimate of Jones being a full participant suggests the shoulder issue he's tending to isn't much of a concern heading into the Week 4 matchup. The injury may explain in part why Jones handled a season-low 39 percent snap share in Week 3 against the Broncos, but he still managed to reach the end zone twice in the victory.

Shoulder issue heading into Week 4
Jones (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Packers didn't hold a formal practice Monday, so what Jones does in Tuesday's session will be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 24-year-old found paydirt twice against the Broncos on Sunday.

Plunges for two scores
Jones ran for 19 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries and added a four-yard catch during Sunday's 27-16 win over Denver.
Analysis: Jones was bottled up for almost all of Sunday, but fans will surely take his pair of touchdowns complements of two costly Denver turnovers. The end result was solid for Jones, but it's right to be concerned by a 3.8-yards per carry start to the season and Jamaal Williams' steady increase in touches. He'll have to pick it up quickly with a Thursday matchup against a struggling Eagles team looming.

To yield touches to Williams?
Coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that the Packers would "like to even out those touches a little bit" between Jones and Jamaal Williams, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: LaFleur's comments come on the heels of Jones receiving a career-high 27 touches, which he turned into 150 yards from scrimmage and one TD run. However, Jones' usage was static from the season opener (59 percent of the snaps on offense) to Week 2 (61), and Williams' workload actually increased as well from 41 to 49 percent of those plays. Despite having a slight lead in work, Jones has more than doubled Williams' touch count (41-19) to date. Considering Jones is averaging 4.3 YPC to Williams'…read more

Explodes for 150 scrimmage yards
Jones carried 23 times for 116 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Vikings. He also made four catches for 34 yards in the 21-16 win.
Analysis: After averaging just 3.0 yards per carry in the season opener, Jones averaged 5.0 per tote in this one as he repeatedly gashed the Vikings run defense. He scored a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter and rounded out his performance by finishing second on the team in receiving yardage. Jones' big game was an excellent sign for the Packers, who secured a divisional win with Aaron Rodgers throwing for just 209 yards. He will have the opportunity to build on this effort next Sunday against the…read more

Inefficient in season-opening win
Jones rushed 13 times for 39 yards and brought in his only target for no gain in the Packers' 10-3 win over the Bears on Thursday.
Analysis: Like all of the running backs on either squad, Jones put together an inefficient performance on the ground overall. However, the third-year pro did find a couple of lanes in the second half, gaining 15 of his yards on the night on back-to-back carries to open a third-quarter series. Otherwise, Jones' quiet effort was a microcosm of the generally poor offensive environment during the contest, and he'll look to boost his production in a Week 2 battle against Vikings a week from Sunday.

Will sit Thursday after all
Due to less than ideal field conditions, Jones and the rest of the Packers' starters will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Jones was slated to make his preseason debut and play to play a series in the contest, but he won't suit up after all due to issue with the field in Winnipeg. Jamaal Williams will also sit out, likely leading to plenty of Dexter Williams and Tre Carson reps.

Preseason debut on tap
Jones (hamstring) will make his preseason debut Thursday against the Raiders, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. He's slated to play a series during the contest.
Analysis: As far as daily purposes go, Jones likely won't be of much use if he only takes the field for one series Thursday, but it's a true sign the hamstring issue that plagues him early in camp is no longer lingering. He should serve as Green Bay's primary back again in 2019 and could see marked improvement on his 133 carries for 728 yards and eight touchdowns from a season ago if he can stay healthy for the full 16 games.

Out Thursday
Jones won't suit up for Thursday's preseason game in Baltimore.
Analysis: Jones missed a good portion of training camp and the Packers' first exhibition due to a tight hamstring. However, the third-year back has been practicing since Saturday, participated in 11-on-11 drills at Tuesday's session and warmed up in pads before Thursday's contest. Along with Aaron Rodgers (back), Jones is the other high-profile skill-position player on the sidelines. Jones' next chance to suit up arrives next Thursday against the Raiders in Winnipeg.

Returns to team drills
Jones took part in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, the first time he's done so since missing some action due to hamstring tightness, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones, who sits atop the Packers' running back depth chart, is thus getting back into gear, while top backup Jamaal Williams continues to deal with a hamstring issue of his own. It's unclear if Jones will see action in Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens, but if he sits that contest out, we'd expect him to see some reps in Green Bay's third exhibition tilt, barring any setbacks.

Returns to practice field
Jones (hamstring) is back at practice Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones hasn't participated in practice since last week Wednesday due to a hamstring issue, eventually missing the team's opening preseason contest, so this is certainly good news. Projected backup Jamaal Williams has also been out for a similar amount of time with a hamstring injury, which has allowed for Dexter Williams to emerge as a training camp standout, a possibility that could continue if the Packers choose to ease their starting RB back into the rotation.

Coach downplays injury
Jones (hamstring) sat out Wednesday's session due to precautionary reasons according to head coach Matt LaFleur, Stu Courtney of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Jones has had a history of leg injuries that resulted in the back missing eight games over the last two seasons, so it's understandable that the team is playing it safe. "He's going to be an important part of our football team, so we need him to be fresh and healthy and so we were a little cautious with him (Wednesday)," LaFleur added when speaking with the media.

Not practicing Wednesday
Jones won't practice Wednesday due to hamstring tightness, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The extent of Jones' injury is uncertain, but the report notes it is "not expected to be anything long term." With that in mind, Jones may be withheld from action for a few more days, but the hamstring issue doesn't look like anything that will affect his status for Week 1. With both Jones and Jamaal Williams -- also dealing with a hamstring injury -- banged up, rookie Dexter Williams will have an opportunity to see more snaps with the first team.

Drops body fat to 5.3 percent
Jones reduced his body fat from more than 11 percent last season to 5.3 percent this offseason, adding muscle to maintain his playing weight of 205 pounds, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.
Analysis: These stories are a dime a dozen every spring, but we can at least give Jones credit for putting specific numbers to the "best shape of my life" narrative. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst and QB Aaron Rodgers both commented on the running back's questionable conditioning earlier this offseason, with Rodgers referring to Jones as "the most athletic, fast guy with a little bit of a belly." The 24-year-old apparently got the message and cut candy out of his diet, hoping to improve his durability after…read more

Praised by GM
General manager Brian Gutekunst said he wants Jones "on the field as much as possible" in 2019, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: This comment is interesting because head coach Matt LaFleur recently said he believes a committee approach is the most effective way to go, per Michael Cohen of the Athletic, which seems like the more realistic statement. While it's true that in an ideal world the Packers could have Jones on the field every single snap, as Gutekunst suggested, the 5-foot-9 runner has missed four games in each of his first two seasons in the league and has yet to show he can truly handle a workhorse role.

Determined to catch more passes
Jones (knee) said he will focus on improving his pass-catching skills during the offseason, Mike Spofford of Packers.com reports.
Analysis: Jones proved capable of handling passing downs in 2018, hauling in 26 of 35 targets for 206 yards and a touchdown while also taking a big step forward as a blocker. He now hopes to become a true three-down weapon, though he also acknowledged that Jamaal Williams has a place in the Green Bay backfield.

The second-year back -- who carved out the lead role in the backfield following a two-week suspension to begin the season -- finishes the year with 728 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 133 carries, good for a 5.5 yards per carry average.

Analysis: Jones missed two games due to a similar injury to his right knee last season, so he may be in danger of missing the rest of the campaign with as many contests left on the Packers' slate. The team should clarify his status in the coming days, but Jamaal Williams nonetheless is poised for an uptick in touches with Jones hobbled.

Won't reenter Sunday's game
Jones (knee) won't return to Sunday's game in Chicago.
Analysis: Jones left near the end of the first quarter with four carries for eight yards on the ledger. The severity of the knee injury is unknown, but Jamaal Williams is the only healthy and active running back on the roster at the moment.

Injures knee Sunday
Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Chicago due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Jones entered the blue medical tent late in the first quarter to have his knee examined. If Jones is unable to return, Jamaal Williams will be the sole healthy running back available to the Packers offense.

Explodes in second half
Jones had 17 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown while catching all three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Jones was a non-factor in the first half with three carries for seven yards, but he erupted out of the gate after halftime. The big play for the second-year running back came on 29-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that pushed the Packers' lead to 34-7. Jones' first-half usage remains a slight cause for concern, but his heavy touches in the second half -- as he tied his highest carry total of the season -- led to a productive day overall. The 24-year-old has a difficult matchup against…read more

Finds paydirt despite low yardage
Jones rushed 11 times for 36 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Expectations were high for Jones coming in, as he entered with four rushing touchdowns in the previous three weeks and an average of 6.0 yards per carry this season. Surprisingly, a Cardinals defense that came in allowing 144.8 yards per game on the ground was able to hold Jones to a season-low 3.3 yards per carry. Still, Jones tied the game 17-17 on an 8-yard rushing score with 5:26 left, which should make owners feel good about turning right back to him against the Falcons in Week 14.

Continues scoring binge
Jones carried the ball 17 times for 72 yards and a touchdown, adding another 21 yards on three catches (five targets) in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Jones didn't turn in the biggest rushing performance of Week 12, but it was certainly a huge win for fantasy owners, considering the Vikings boast a top-five rush defense. The 24-year-old received 17 of the Packers' 18 running back carries, cementing his status as the lead back in Green Bay. With a huge share of carries -- a rare quality in an era dominated by committees -- and five touchdowns over the last five weeks, Jones has become a must-start back. Arizona's 29th-ranked rush defense is on…read more

Finds end zone twice in loss
Jones rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of six targets for 63 yards and another score in the Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.
Analysis: Jones logged all but one of the running back rushing touches, and he complemented his fourth score on the ground over the last three contests with his first receiving touchdown of the campaign. The second-year back did see a drop in carries compared to Week 10, but he's clearly taken the reins of the lead-back role. Moreover, his slight reduction in rushing work was supplemented by season highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards. Jones' fantasy prospects are as bright as they've been…read more

Locked in for Thursday
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the team needs to continue giving Jones opportunities, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Rodgers should get his wish without much question after Jones took 15 carries for 145 yards and two touchdowns while handling a 74 percent snap share in Sunday's 31-12 win over Miami. Jamaal Williams poached just three carries on 14 snaps and Tra Carson strictly played special teams. With his supremacy in the Green Bay backfield safely established, Jones is gearing up for Thursday's road game against a Seattle defense ranked 29th in yards allowed per carry (5.0) and t-18th in rushing yards…read more

Explodes for 172 scrimmage yards
Jones carried 15 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Dolphins. He also caught three passes for 27 additional yards in the 31-12 win.
Analysis: Jones gashed the opposition all day, finishing with an impressive average of 9.7 yards per carry thanks to his long gain of 67 yards. He scored on touchdown runs of two and 10 yards in the second and third quarters, respectively, giving him his first multi-touchdown effort of the season. Jones was the only running back with more than three carries in this one, the Packers apparently are ready to hand him the workload of a featured back moving forward. He'll look to build on this effort Thursday…read more

Leads backfield
Jones ran for 76 yards on 14 carries and brought in two of four targets for 10 receiving yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Jones did lose a costly fumble in the third quarter, but otherwise had an effective day on the ground. It took head coach Mike McCarthy a little longer than expected to make the 23-year-old the leading back in Green Bay, but it appears he has come to his senses over the past couple of weeks, giving Jones more carries than Jamaal Williams (seven carries for 34 yards) for the second straight game. Ty Montgomery's abrupt trade last week removed another mouth to feed in this backfield, and Jones…read more
