With Aaron Jones gone, Dillon is set to back up Josh Jacobs, the team's big free agent signing, and the Packers are using this mechanism to save cap space while keeping a hometown favorite around for another year.

Packers' AJ Dillon uncertain for Buccaneers game due to broken thumb

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon is dealing with a broken thumb sustained during Monday's game against the New York Giants. Dillon, who has never played with a broken thumb before, is uncertain if he can continue playing with the injury. The thumb is crucial for a running back, affecting ball security and making it easier for opposing teams to exploit the injury. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones, who has been out with a knee injury, returned to practice and is hopeful for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Packers' running back situation is further complicated by the re-signing of Patrick Taylor and the return of rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks from ankle injuries.
