Packers Place AJ Dillon, Tyler Davis on IR

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon has been placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury, ruling him out for the entire 2024 NFL season. This marks his second stinger in under a year, after missing the final three games of the 2023 season with a similar injury. Dillon's absence leaves the Packers' backfield to newly acquired Josh Jacobs, third-round rookie MarShawn Lloyd, and Emanuel Wilson. Dillon’s injury is a significant setback given his expected role as Jacobs' primary backup, especially after signing a one-year deal to return to Green Bay. Tight end Tyler Davis and defensive tackle Jonathan Ford were also placed on IR, with Ford designated to return. The Packers made several roster moves, including releasing kicker Anders Carlson and trading for quarterback Malik Willis.
