Studs and Duds, Rams:

It explains why we weren't running Jones. He's already hurt. Upnorth, spot on!

I haven't heard and can't find anything about Jones getting reinjured. Is there any truth to that?

Don't know that Jones reinjured the knee. But he looked like he may not be back to 100% recovery from the knee injury.

Agree, he looked slow and hesitant.

[texaspackerbacker]

That much I sort of noticed too although it could just as well have been poor blocking and/or good D. Hopefully with the bye week, he will be 100% for the next game. The offense really is better with him doing the bulk of the running and Dillon being the short yardage/change of pace guy.

[smuggler]

Yeah I didn't mean he re-injured it, more that it was still affecting him and we didn't need him at 75% in that game, we need him near 100% for the rest of the year!

[call_me_ishmael]

No shit? 3.45 per carry less than 1 yard before getting hit? That doesn't say much for the O Line.

Down three starters, the three best starters at that, I'm not surprised.

Exactly. Why rush him back if you don't have to.

The Packers are safe with injuries. If they had him back I’m sure he was 100%. Maybe his conditioning was down a little from being off a week or two.

He didn't look 100%, but they were undoubtedly told by the doctors that there was no extra risk of making it worse.

This makes sense. Maybe he wasn’t 100% I wonder if it was just conditioning though.

Conditioning, lingering soreness, and gaining back the confidence that the knee will hold. So playing last week may get him to 100% quicker than resting him.
