Dillon has a chance for redemption on Thanksgiving Day against the vulnerable Lions' defense. With Jones and Wilson unlikely to be fully recovered on the short three-day rest, Dillon is poised for an immediate do-over.
Week 10:
In the Packers' Week 10 matchup against the Steelers, AJ Dillon carried the ball nine times for a total of 70 yards, complemented by one reception for an additional 11 yards.
Week 9:

Benefiting from an ideal game script, Dillon capitalized on the Packers' dominant time of possession, adding a three-yard catch on his sole target. The Packers' control of the game limited the Rams to zero touchdowns, resulting in Dillon's highest yardage output since Week 7.
Week 8:
In Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Vikings, Dillon had six rushing attempts for 11 yards and caught all five of his targets for 41 yards.

However, the two running backs combined for a 9-reception, 59-yard performance on 10 targets. While Dillon hasn't been a consistent receiving asset, the Packers may turn to short, high-percentage passes to their running backs as part of an adjustment strategy to build up Love's confidence, given the team's current need to find effective offensive solutions.
