For much of last season, as running back Aaron Jones struggled to deal with a hamstring injury that factored into him missing six games for the Packers, it appeared that we were watching the end of the line for Jones in Green Bay. But a late-year resurgence seems to have firmed up Jones’ position on the team, though it does appear as though the Packers will bid farewell to popular No. 2 running back A.J. Dillon.
To replace him, the Packers could take a somewhat odd route: Signing a player who has had many, many more injury issues over the years than Jones. That would be Ravens free-agent running back J.K. Dobbins, who is working his way back from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in the 2023 opener.
Dobbins has missed 82% of his games in the NFL since his rookie year, after he was drafted in the second round out of Ohio State in 2020. The Ravens played 51 games from 2021-23, and Dobbins appeared in only nine of them. He’s missed 64% of games in his career.
But he will be trying for a comeback year. And Bleacher Report makes the case that the Packers would be the team for which he should make that comeback.
