Packers running back Aaron Jones said Friday he was “confident” he could play through a calf strain.
The Packers, though, aren’t expected to push Jones.
That’s the word from Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette who reports that the team’s “plan is for Jones to not play” Sunday against the Texans.
The Packers promoted running back Dexter Williams from the practice squad Saturday as cover in case Jones can’t go. Jones did make the trip with the team to Houston.
Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon would take on the bulk of the work without Jones.
