Packers' AJ Dillon Out for the Season with Neck Injury

Dillon was a key contributor to the Packers' offense in 2023, rushing for 1,023 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also caught 29 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns.

The Packers are now without their top two running backs from the 2023 season, as Aaron Jones is also on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Jamaal Williams is expected to take over as the Packers' lead running back, with Kylin Hill and Patrick Taylor Jr. also expected to see increased roles.

Dillon's injury is a major blow to the Packers' offense, as he was a key part of their running game. The Packers will now have to rely on Williams, Hill, and Taylor Jr. to step up and fill the void left by Dillon.

Dillon is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season.

The Packers are currently 5-8 on the season and are in danger of missing the playoffs. The loss of Dillon is a major setback for the Packers, as they will now have to rely on a less experienced running back corps.

The Packers will face the Chicago Bears on Sunday in a must-win game. The Packers need to win their remaining games in order to have a chance at making the playoffs.

The loss of Dillon is a major blow to the Packers' playoff hopes, but the team will need to rally around Williams, Hill, and Taylor Jr. in order to make a run at the postseason.
