Dillon has sustained his second stinger in nine months, a stinger is also known as a “brachial plexus injury” and occurs when a group of nerves are stretched or injured. The injury can cause numbness, weakness or pain in the arm and hands. Stingers are common in football. The occurrence of a second stinger has caused concern for Green Bay and they are awaiting MRI results to make a more official determination regarding how long he might be held out, last season, a shoulder stinger kept Dillon out of the final three games of the season.

Questionable with neck/thumb injuries - neck is the bigger concern as he did not practice for two straight weeks with the stinger issue - if he does play, expect Emanuel Wilson to still have a role

DNPx2 with neck issue that has lingered the past few weeks - a concerning sign for his availability that his stinger symptoms have not subsided enough for him to practice

Doubtful with neck/thumb injuries - DNP all week and will miss Wild Card round against Cowboys - chance to return in Divisional round if Packers advance

DNPx2 but chance to return for opening playoff round despite missing W18 with stinger - right thumb injury a minimal concern at this point

DNP Wednesday but chance to return for opening playoff round despite missing W18 with stinger - right thumb injury a minimal concern at this point

Chance to return for opening playoff round despite missing W18 with stinger - right thumb injury a minimal concern at this point

Ruled out with thumb and neck injuries - could return for first round of the playoffs if the Packers make it with a win over the Bears in W18

DNP with thumb and neck injuries - likely to miss W18 with Aaron Jones in line to handle a majority of the snaps
