Green Bay Packers linebacker questionable to return against Seattle Seahawks

Not many teams have had worse luck in the injury department than the Green Bay Packers. Their Sunday afternoon game against the Seattle Seahawks has not helped their cause, losing another star player.

The Packers announced linebacker Rashan Gary is questionable to return to the game with an elbow injury. He went down in the fourth quarter attempting to tackle Seahawks running back Travis Homer.

Before leaving the game, Gary made his mark on the game, sacking quarterback Russell Wilson. He added on three tackles to his tally as well, all of which were solo.

Gary has been a key player for Green Bay this season, playing in all nine games. Entering the Seattle game, he has recorded 28 tackles, only two of them have been for a loss. The former Michigan man is coming off the edge more times than not, having a team-high 4.5 sacks on the year. His pressure has been consistent, leading the team with 18 quarterback hits.

Another Packers injury

Gary was not the only Green Bay player to leave in the fourth quarter. Running back Aaron Jones left with a knee injury and the team fears he suffered an MCL injury according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Jones exited the game in the second half against Seattle after having accumulated 25 yards on seven carries. AJ Dillon took over lead back duties and finished with 21 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns.

Prior to Sunday, Jones had rushed for 516 yards and three touchdowns on 116 carries this season. His expected timetable is unknown at the moment.

The Packers went on to defeat the Seattle Seahawks, 17-0 at a snowy Lambeau Field. They now have a stranglehold on the NFC North with an 8-2 record. Aaron Rodgers returned to the field after testing positive for COVID-19 as well, throwing for 292 yards. The NFC playoffs could go through Green Bay.
