Jones hurt his left knee late in the second quarter of a 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 19. He sat out the Packersā€™ 29-22 Thanksgiving Day triumph at Detroit and hadnā€™t practiced this week.

The 28-year-old Jones has rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns on 66 carries in seven games for the Packers (5-6) this season. He also has 19 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown.

Before hurting his knee, Jones missed three games with a hamstring injury.

LaFleur also said cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) is doubtful for Sundayā€™s game with the Chiefs (8-3). Cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder), linebacker Deā€™Vondre Campbell (neck), tight end Josiah Deguara (hip), safety Rudy Ford (biceps/groin), wide receivers Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (knee), cornerback Robert Rochell (calf) and safety Darnell Savage (calf) are questionable.

Savage and Stokes have both missed Green Bayā€™s last five games. Alexander has been out for the Packersā€™ last three games. Campbell, Deguara and Wicks didnā€™t play against the Lions.
