GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers running back Aaron Jones left Sunday's 17-0 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the third quarter with a knee injury, and a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter the team believes Jones suffered a sprained MCL.

If further tests confirm that, Jones would miss time but could potentially return before the end of the regular season.

Jones reached for his right knee at the end of a 6-yard gain. On the CBS TV broadcast, Tracy Wolfson reported that Jones left the medical tent in tears and went to talk to his family.

The Packers signed Jones to a four-year, $48 million deal in March.

He had four catches for 61 yards and seven carries for 25 yards when he left the game.

Two of the Packers' outside linebackers also left the game: Whitney Mercilus with a biceps injury, and Rashan Gary, who had troubling moving his right arm as he came off the field in the fourth quarter.

Randall Cobb carrying Aaron Jones off the field on his back. I'm thinking Jones can't be too seriously injured.

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

If you IR a player, they must miss the next three games, and the Packers have Vikings, Rams and Bears as their next three games.

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.

In a Tuesday memo, the NFL notified all teams that they are permitted to have unlimited players return from the injured reserve list for the 2021 season after missing three games, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. Only players on the 53-man roster after Sept. 1 are eligible to be designated for return from IR or the non-football injury list, Pelissero added.

MRI revealed that Packers’ RB Aaron Jones has “a mild” MCL sprain and he is expected to be out 1-2 weeks, per source.

Sounds like we'll have Aaron Jones after the BYE week.
