The Green Bay Packers are now expected to have two stars ruled out against the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers listed Quay Walker, Christian Watson, Aaron Jones, and David Bakhtiari as questionable against the Falcons in the Week 2 injury report.
Walker passed all phases of the NFL’s concussion protocol Saturday and is expected to play Sunday. The Packers hinted Jones might not play when they elevated running back Patrick Taylor.

Losing Watson and Jones is a big deal for the Packers’ offense against the Falcons. The Packers were much better on offense when they fed the ball to Jones, as Watson was ruled out for the season opener.
Romeo Doubs played well in Week 1 with Watson out. The team must rely on Doubs and backup running back AJ Dillon in Week 2.
