Green Bay Packers Injuries to Aaron Jones and Quay Walker in Week 1
However, the Green Bay Packers did suffer some injuries in the first game. Starting running back Aaron Jones, and linebacker Quay Walker were sidelined in Chicago. Jones left the game with a hamstring injury after scoring a touchdown through the air, and on the ground for the Packers in their 38-20 win.
Linebacker Quay Walker made a big play as he intercepted the Bears quarterback, Justin Fields, in the final quarter. Walker was hit by a Bears offensive lineman when he reached the end zone and was later put into concussion protocol.
