Unfortunately, running back A.J. Dillon will not be available for the game, as confirmed by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"#Packers coach Matt LaFleur rules RB AJ Dillon out due to a stinger and considers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) questionable despite not practicing."
This marks the second game that Dillon will miss this season, with a previous absence due to a broken thumb in Week 15 and his current injury occurring in Week 17.
Dillon, aged 25, has rushed for 613 yards and scored 2 touchdowns this season, averaging 3.4 yards per carry on 178 attempts.
In the Packers' season-opening victory over the Bears, Dillon gained 19 yards on 13 carries.
Assuming the Packers secure a win against the Bears this week, there's a possibility that Dillon could return for the wild card round.
