GREEN BAY, Wis. – With AJ Dillon landing on injured reserve as part of the Green Bay Packers’ roster cuts on Tuesday, the running back known for his big quads and big personality probably has played his final game for the team.
The Packers re-signed Dillon to a one-year contract in free agency. By placing him on injured reserve without listing him as designated to return – that’s how they handled defensive tackle Jonathan Ford, meaning he can return after Week 4 – the Packers will be unable to activate Dillon once he’s healthy.
The big question going forward is if the 26-year-old Dillon will ever be healthy to resume his NFL career.
