Green Bay will miss second-year running back Aaron Jones for the opening two games of the season. They are divisional games, too, against the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings.

Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams will lead the way, and an opportunity could arise for second-year running back Devante Mays.
