The Green Bay Packers made a roster elevation Saturday that adds concern about the availability of star running back Aaron Jones in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Jones suffered a hamstring injury in the Packers Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears. He missed all three practices this week. The Packers listed him as questionable to play the Falcons in Friday’s injury report.
The Green Bay Packers elevate Patrick Taylor
According to a statement by the Packers Saturday, the team elevated running back Patrick Taylor to be eligible for the active roster for Sunday.

The Packers appear to be taking precautions if Jones cannot play against the Falcons. It’s important to note Jones has not been ruled out for the game. And the Packers can choose to make Taylor inactive on Sunday.
But Taylor’s elevation on Saturday doesn’t look hopeful for Jones’ status in Week 2.
