Packers place RB A.J. Dillon on injured reserve: What injury does he have?
What a blow to the Green Bay Packers, running back A.J. Dillon has been placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury, specifically a stinger. This unfortunate development means Dillon’s 2024 season has ended before it even began.
Dillon sustained the neck injury during a recent practice session. The Packers’ medical team diagnosed it as a stinger, a type of injury that affects the nerves in the neck and shoulder. While stingers can vary in severity, Dillon’s condition was serious enough to warrant placement on injured reserve, sidelining him for the entire season.
A.J. Dillon injury impact on the Packers for the coming 2024 season
Dillon’s absence will be felt deeply by the Packers. Known for his powerful running style and ability to break tackles, Dillon was expected to play a crucial role in the team’s offensive strategy this year. His injury leaves a significant gap in the backfield, putting additional pressure on the remaining running backs to step up.
Head Coach Matt LaFleur expressed his sympathy for Dillon, acknowledging the hard work and dedication he has shown throughout the offseason.
With Dillon out, the Packers will need to adjust their game plan. The Packers have a few options to consider for replacing A.J. Dillon. Regardless of the approach, the Packers will need to adapt quickly to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
