Running back Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers will play in the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. As of Wednesday, he was one of six significant injuries the Packers were still sweating about.
Following his touchdown run in the Packers' Week 1 38-20 win against the Chicago Bears, Jones sustained a hamstring injury. He missed the team's 18-17 comeback victory against the New Orleans Saints last week as well as its defeat to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.
The Packers concluded that Jones wasn't fit to take the field against the Saints despite having two consecutive limited practices leading up to the game last Sunday. He is expected to be ready to start against the Lions on Thursday after being "limited" for practice earlier this week.

Green Bay hasn't had a very impressive running game through the first three contests of the season. Given the solidity of Detroit's defense, Aaron Jones' contribution to the offense cannot be underestimated. He has a commendable 127 total yards and two touchdowns despite not playing a full game so far this season.
