Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon suffered a broken thumb in the team's recent game against the New York Giants. Dillon did not practice on Thursday and is unsure if he will be able to play with the injury. The thumb is important for a running back, and Dillon is concerned about how it will impact his ball security. The Packers have relied on Dillon in recent weeks due to Aaron Jones' knee injury. Jones returned to practice and is confident for Sunday's game. The Packers also have running back Patrick Taylor on the roster. In terms of wide receivers, Christian Watson is expected to miss another game due to a hamstring injury, but rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks returned to practice.
