A.J. Dillon, the Packers versatile running back, suffered a chest injury on a kickoff return early in the third quarter.
By video, Dillon took a knee to the torso while he was on the ground after blocking on the run back.
The 23-year-old grimaced while walking on the sideline then had his chest/rib area checked on the sideline.
The fact he has not gone to the locker room is a potentially good sign that the team is not concerned about a rib fracture.
He has not returned to the game, leaving Aaron Jones to handle the primary running back duties. Patrick Taylor could get carries in Dillon's absence.
