During the regular season, the Green Bay Packers usually have a day off on Tuesdays.
Due to the Packers’ Thursday Night Football game against the Tennessee Titans this week, the team was forced to hold a walkthrough practice today.
Aaron Jones (shin) took part in a limited capacity in Tuesday’s walk-through practice.
Jones entered this past Sunday’s game against the Cowboys without a designation after leaving early in the Packers’ Week 9 loss to the Giants with a shin injury, despite being limited in practices Wednesday through Friday.
He then carried the ball 24 times for a season-high 138 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ 31-28 overtime win over Dallas.
With a quick turnaround for Green Bay’s Week 11 matchup against the Titans on Thursday, the Packers may try to limit Jones’ workload.
TENNESSEE TITANS
Five Titans players have been ruled out due to injuries: kicker Randy Bullock (right calf), outside linebacker Bud Dupree (hip), defensive back Lonnie Johnson (hamstring), safety Amani Hooker (shoulder), and center Ben Jones.
Questionable are defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (ankle) and defensive back Elijah Molden (groin). Simmons did not practice on Wednesday after being deemed limited during the team’s walkthrough on Tuesday.
The Titans did not provide a game status for the following players, who are expected to play: receiver Cody Hollister (back), defensive lineman Denico Autry (veteran rest), offensive lineman Aaron Brewer (toe), cornerback Kristian Fulton (hamstring), running back Derrick Henry (veteran rest), linebacker David Long (neck), cornerback Roger McCreary (calf), defensive lineman Kevin Strong (ankle), and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle).

GREEN BAY PACKERS
Both tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and guard/tackle Elgton Jenkins (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
De’Vondre Campbell (knee) and Romeo Doubs (receiver) have also been ruled out for the Packers (ankle). Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) is questionable.
Only Jean-Charles, one of the five aforementioned players, practiced on Wednesday. After being listed as a non-participant on Monday and Tuesday, the second-year cornerback was limited.
Bakhtiari and Jenkins both played all 64 snaps in the Cowboys’ 31-28 overtime victory on Sunday.
While Campbell is expected to miss his third consecutive game, the Packers are expected to welcome back linebacker Krys Barnes.
After clearing the concussion protocol, the third-year veteran was not given a game status for Thursday night.
Green Bay played the Cowboys without Barnes, leaving Eric Wilson as the lone reserve inside linebacker behind Quay Walker and Isaiah McDuffie.
In addition to Barnes, the Packers did not provide a game status for 11 other players who are expected to play: quarterback Aaron Rodgers (right thumb), running back Aaron Jones (shin), receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder), kicker Mason Crosby (back), cornerback Rasul Douglas (calf), linebacker Kingsley Enagbare (ankle), cornerback Keisean Nixon (calf), guard Jon Runyan (knee), linebacker Preston Smith (shoulder/groin (foot).
On Wednesday, Douglas, Enagbare, and Nixon were all upgraded to full participation from limited participation.
