The Packers leading rusher had to leave the game in Week 9
Injuries were a common theme for the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. The Packers were short-handed heading into their must-win game against the Detroit Lions. Several starters for the Packers were out of the game by halftime. The Packers lost another critical piece to the offense in the second half. The Packers leading rusher going down is an injury that could be problematic for this game and future contests.
According to multiple reports, running back Aaron Jones was injured and questionable to return against the Lions. Jones sustained an ankle injury. He was seen jogging into the locker room for further evaluation.

The Packers were trailing the Lions 8-6 before the start of the fourth quarter. Jones was the Packers leading rusher with 575 yards in 2022. He was averaging 5.9 yards per rush. Jones being out could hurt the dynamic nature of the Packers’ offense which needs to find success in the run game.
