Packers vs 49ers Discussion Thread

[Joemailman]

Can't rule out possibility that Jones, Jamaal Williams and Dillon could all be unavailable Thursday night. That would leave Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams at RB.

#Packers RB Jamaal Williams and LB Kamal Martin were both designated high-risk close contacts to A.J. Dillon, source said. They're out for Thursday night.

Get well, Aaron Jones.

Edit: John Lovett played some RB at Princeton, in addition to QB and WR.

Aaron Jones was a limited participant in today's walk-through so it would appear there's still hope for him to play Thursday. Here's the full (and lengthy) injury report:

Expect a lot of end arounds and jet sweeps with the WRs to give who ever they line up at RB a break.

The #49ers have released WR Dante Pettis. The #Packers inquired about him at one point, so it wouldn't be surprising if they put in a waiver claim. It would only cost them around $264,000 in cap money. He does not have a catch this year and just 11 since promising rookie year.

Asked LaFleur about report of disagreement at highest levels of #Packers. He shoots that down emphatically: "I have no idea where anything like that would come from. We're in constant communication, we're always on the same page. There is no truth to that, I promise you that."

Both Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers had high praise for #Packers' second-year RB Dexter Williams today.

MLF: "The thing I'll say about Dexter is he has worked his tail off. ... He prepares as well as anybody we have."

Matt LaFleur said Allen Lazard is "really close" to a return.

He's on IR. Players on IR aren't listed on injury report.

The way I'm feeling about this game makes me almost want to bring up politics to get a week ban....
No rb. And our d is so reminiscent of spray paint hair. The passing game has almost zero room for error.

[Joemailman]

Kevin King, Will Redmond and Vernon Scott out.

[Bretsky]

WHO SHOULD I PICKUP FOR FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR A RB ?

DEXTER WILLIAMS or TYLER ERVIN ?

Sad but in one league I have to start 4 RB's. WE have Mccaffrey, Mostert, and Miles Sanders. Everybody on our team is hurt...lol

[RashanGary]

Dexter probably over erv. I don't see erv getting a ton of runs

[Guiness]

Kevin King, Will Redmond and Vernon Scott out.

King has just been out so much but also flashed really good. I'm afraid the Pack lets him walk and he goes on to be a solid corner like what happened with Hayward.

[Freak Out]

Sounds like its on.

Bring up politics in any form again it will be a a month if that matters to you.

Sounds like the Niners only have 1 WR active as of today per this tweet.

Presumably they'll activate a few more - but we all know what Shanny is gonna do. Can old baldy stop it? My take is this: if the Packers get beat through the air with 5th, 6th, 7th receivers, then so be it. Baldy had better sell out 100% and stop the frigging run. If he doesn't and they get gashed on the ground again, then maybe the Packers should move on.
