The Packers have a lot of offensive players on the Week 4 injury report
The Green Bay Packers have been banged up in the early season with injuries. The offensive line and wide receiver positions have borne the brunt of most of the maladies. The Packers got left tackle David Bakhtiari back for Week 3, but they had to put wide receiver Sammy Watkins on the injured reserve.
The Packers revealed their injury report for Week 4 Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t kind to the offense.
- Jaire Alexander, Groin, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- David Bakhtiari, Knee, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- AJ Dillon, Knee, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- Jonathan Garvin, Hip, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- Elgton Jenkins, Knee, Did Not Participate in Wednesday’s practice
- Caleb Jones, Illness, Did Not Participate in Wednesday’s practice
- Allen Lazard, Ankle, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- Marcedes Lewis, Groin, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
- Christian Watson, Hamstring, limited participation in Wednesday’s practice
AJ Dillon will be something to monitor
Running back AJ Dillon being added to the Week 4 injury report is big news. The Packers need Dillon and fellow running back Aaron Jones to be healthy this season. That tandem is the best part of the Packers’ offense. Dillon’s injury does make more sense the Packers’ decision this week to look at adding another running back to the practice squad.
Dillon participated in the Packers’ light practice on Wednesday, which is good news. His name on the injury report will be something to check as the week progresses.
