Source confirmed initial diagnosis on #Packers RB Aaron Jones is a sprained R MCL. Jones has sprained his MCL 3 other times, 2 on his R and once L. He missed 2 games in '17 w/L and did the R at the end of the '17 and '18 seasons, so he didn't return. No surgery for any of them

But before the Bears game there is a bye week, so it's four weeks away... do you IR Jones and make him miss the Bears game? Or do you keep him around and hope he's healed enough to play in the Bears game?
At least for this second, I'm thinking you IR, rest him and try to get him to 100% for the playoffs. If he's 100% after missing three games then bring him back ASAP, if not, he has an additional three practice weeks whenever they active him...
And Packers get another healthy body for the next three games at least.
