The Green Bay Packers believe running back Aaron Jones avoided a major injury on a second-quarter play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, Zach Kruse of USA Today's Bears Wire reports.

“I don’t think it’s long-term,” coach Matt LaFleur said post-game.

LaFleur said the injury didn’t look good live — Jones’ leg was twisted awkwardly as he went down — but his veteran running back was in “good spirits” in the locker room following Sunday’s 23-20 win.

Jones was ruled out coming out of halftime with what the Packers reported as a knee injury. He finished with four rushes for 14 yards and one catch for three yards.

Jones appeared to be in major pain while being treated on the field and while being helped off the field following the injury. He needed to be carted back to the locker room, and the obvious fear was a season-ending injury.

Initial belief in Green Bay is that Jones will play again in 2023.
