The Green Bay Packers have one of the more versatile running backs in the league, Aaron Jones, who can run the ball well and is a pretty good pass catcher. 

However, they have struggled to get anything going on the ground in 2023, and that could be the same case in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders are not a great defensive stem, but some of the news coming out of the Packers' camp will only help the Raiders' defense on Monday Night Football. The Raiders injury report is falling in their favor, now.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jones is likely to be listed as inactive against the Raiders, which would put them without their starting running back.

The Raiders are a middle-of-the-pack defense when it comes to run defense in every category. As for the Packers, they are just as bad of a running offense as the Raiders, as both teams average three yards per carry.

The Raiders have no more excuses now.
