If the guy is healthy to play, which he most likely will be, I have to imagine he’s going to lobby hard to be active. How do you go from a GTD decision one week, to not even suiting up the following week
I understand the logic with the upcoming schedule, but if he’s good to go, there is no reason he shouldn’t be given the green light by the medical staff. This is a minor calf strain, not a pulled hammy or knee sprain. 
Davante lobbied pretty hard to be active, too. Team doctors didn't care. He was GTD a couple weeks in a row, IIRC.If the guy is healthy to play, which he most likely will be, I have to imagine he’s going to lobby hard to be active.

I didn’t know he was a GTD a few weeks in a row. Okay, that pretty much means we all need to plan accordingly. I’m going to act as if he’s definitely not suiting up this week.
That's what I'd do. Plan for the worst (assuming you've got Jones), and hope for the best. But I highly doubt he plays.
I have Carson and Jones. I’ll be rolling with Gordon and Dobbins. ...could be worse I guess.
I traded Gordon immediately after the DUI for Keenan Allen thinking I was solid at RB... if Jones doesn't go I get the luxury of picking two from Homer, Hasty, and Moss
lol all I got this week is Davis & Williams...keep the studs out a couple more weeks please!
Still rather have Allen than Gordon.I traded Gordon immediately after the DUI for Keenan Allen thinking I was solid at RB... if Jones doesn't go I get the luxury of picking two from Homer, Hasty, and Moss
Yeah...I don't like the DNP for him. Hoping still its...hey, get that rest for the Thursday night game...then he gets a little extra rest after it.

Rob, I can’t wait to hear your updates later today and tomorrow to get the answer to this question.
Or, better yet, the update is the Packers are feeling confident about Jones’ status.
you missed the worst case.... aaron jones is active.... but he is only active for emergency only and doesnt see the field and it isnt reported before kickoff that way.
I’m as frustrated as you guys, but although it seems like he’s been out for a long time, the injury happened just 14 days ago. If he was to play, there is a high likelihood he reinjures it and is on the shelf for 4-6 weeks. I’d love to have him in my lineup too, but the smart move is to let him come back in week 10. He will get another 10 days to rehab and rest the calf, putting him in a position to be fully healthy for the stretch runWrigley said:
If he's cleared to play, you HAVE to start him. Aaron Jones can do damage with 10-12 touches.
Highly doubtful. Even mild calf strains can take a few weeks to heal, and there is a high rate of rein jury if players come back too soon. He's only been out for 14 days--it seems longer, but it's only been 2 weeks. Like many of you, I need his production, but think the smart move is to keep him out tonight and give him another 10 days of rest.
I really hope Jones sits again. I just don't see the point in rushing him, he's obviously not 100% or he'd have practiced all week. This is a little like the CMC situation, where many expected him back last Thursday, and Carolina made the right call(even though it may have cost them the game) and kept him out.
Sometimes these reports make me scratch my head. If there's no chance of reinjury, why would he be limited?
Given the 49ers have run out of humans for this game, this seems like a game the Packers should dominate with or without Jones. If he goes, I would have to agree he must be awfully close to 100%.
For sure. That’s my problem is Hasty too though, 49ers just called up three practice squad wide receivers to play today. Got to assume Green Bay is going to sell out on the run even as bad as they are at stopping it.
