Matt LaFleur on Packers RB Aaron Jones: ‘Ready to cut him loose’ vs. Rams

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones wore a red non-contact uniform during practice this week, but coach Matt LaFleur sounds ready to (finally?) lean on his top playmaker on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

“He did a great job. We did that (red uniform) for his own protection, making sure that people wouldn’t knock him over and anything like that,” LaFleur said Friday. “He looked good. Had a good week. Got a great attitude. Ready to cut him loose.”

Quarterbacks traditionally wear red practice uniforms to alert defenders not to hit them.
