Packers Place AJ Dillon on Injured Reserve

News summary

The Green Bay Packers have placed running back A.J. Dillon on injured reserve for the entirety of the 2024 season due to a neck injury, effectively ending his campaign before it began. Dillon had signed a one-year, $2.7 million extension after a lackluster 2023 season, where he rushed for 613 yards and two touchdowns. General Manager Brian Gutekunst expressed hope for Dillon's recovery but acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team. With Dillon sidelined, the Packers will rely on Josh Jacobs as the starting running back, supported by rookies Marshawn Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson. Dillon's injury is a continuation of issues he faced last season, raising concerns about his long-term viability as a player. The Packers are looking to move forward, potentially signaling a shift in their running back strategy as they finalize their roster.
