Aaron Jones suffers MCL sprain, expected out 1-2 weeks
It is the fourth MCL injury of the running back's NFL career.
By PackerAaron
MRI revealed that Packers’ RB Aaron Jones has “a mild” MCL sprain and he is expected to be out 1-2 weeks, per source.

This is the fourth MCL injury for Jones through his NFL career.
This is obviously a huge bullet dodge for the Packers, even if Jones isn't good to go until after the bye week.
Jones could be seen reaching for his right knee at the end of a 6-yard gain in yesterday's win over the Seahawks. He had four catches for 61 yards and seven carries for 25 yards when he left the game.
As a point of reference, Jones returned from a torn left MCL in two weeks back in 2017.

All things considered this is good news. Jones will be back after the bye week. That should work out perfectly. Hopefully we get good news about Gary as well.
GPG! Thanks, Since '61

Gary may play Sunday and AJ will have 3 weeks to heal up. Who knows, AJ may even be back for the Rams...but expect him to rest the MCL until after bye week.
