Green Bay Packers Injury Update: Aaron Jones Expected to Play, Luke Musgrave Surprises in Practice

In a positive development for the Green Bay Packers, running back Aaron Jones is expected to make his comeback for the team’s upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings. Jones has been sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, but according to head coach Matt LaFleur, he is doing a little bit more in practice and is on track to play. The team, however, plans to exercise caution and be smart with his usage given his recent injury history. Another notable update from Packers practice is the surprise participation of tight end Luke Musgrave. Musgrave had missed practice earlier in the week after sustaining an ankle injury against the Denver Broncos. However, to the surprise of many, he was able to take part in a limited fashion in Friday’s practice. This unexpected development raises hopes that Musgrave might be available for the upcoming game against the Vikings. Center Josh Myers, inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, and cornerback Jaire Alexander all received a questionable designation for the game. As for Alexander, his availability remains uncertain due to a recurring back injury. He has only played one game since Week 2, and despite being a limited participant in practice, his status for the game against the Vikings will be a game-time decision. In related news, the Minnesota Vikings also received positive updates regarding their tight end, T.J. Hockenson. Despite initially being listed as a non-participant in the hypothetical injury report, Hockenson was able to practice with the team and will be active for the game against the Packers. With both teams making progress on the injury front, Sunday’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings promises to be an exciting and closely contested game.
