Packers’ Aaron Jones back at practice; Christian Watson sits out

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (33) runs for a touchdown during second half of their game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023 at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones returned to practice Thursday after sitting out last Sunday’s loss in Atlanta with a left hamstring injury.

While the presence of Jones is a promising sign, wide receiver Christian Watson sat out Thursday’s session. Watson turned in a limited practice Wednesday due to a lingering hamstring issue that has prevented him from making his season debut.

Jones, 28, was injured at the end of his 35-yard touchdown catch and run in the Packers’ 38-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sept. 10. He finished with nine carries for 41 yards and a score and two receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown.

Jones, who missed practice Wednesday, would give Green Bay’s ground attack a boost after it rushed for just 84 yards on 21 carries in a 25-24 setback to the Falcons.

Watson, 24, recorded 41 catches for 611 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games (11 starts) as a rookie in 2022.
