Long layoff gives Green Bay a chance to heal up

While a victory on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers was always the intended outcome for Green Bay to start Week 9, the injuries that they suffered were not, a consistent theme in many Packer games this season.

And while the 49ers were suffering from their own rash of injuries, which for sure led to the one-sided affair that favored GB, the Packers picked up a few extra injury concerns that the long layoff will hopefully help fix.

Coming into the game, question marks surrounded the running back core for Green Bay, especially with Aaron Jones dealing with an injury and Jamaal Williams being placed on the COVID list due to close contact with rookie back AJ Dillon, who tested positive after the team’s Week 8 contest.
