In a twist of fate, the Green Bay Packers find themselves down to just one active running back for the remainder of their game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson have been ruled out for the rest of Week 11 due to injuries sustained in the second quarter.

It was during the same drive late in the second quarter that Jones and Wilson suffered their respective knee and shoulder injuries, leaving the Packers with a depleted backfield. The news comes as a blow to the Packers' offense, as they now heavily rely on the lone remaining healthy running back, AJ Dillon.

Meanwhile, the Chargers are also facing their own injury woes on the defensive side of the ball. Star edge rusher Joey Bosa has been downgraded to out after suffering a foot injury early in the first quarter. Bosa's absence will undoubtedly impact the Chargers' pass rush and defensive scheme.

In addition to Bosa, Los Angeles linebacker Tanner Muse, primarily known for his contributions on special teams, has also been ruled out with a knee injury. Muse's absence may not be as significant as Bosa's, but it still poses a challenge for the Chargers' depth on defense.

As the game progresses into the second half, the Chargers secured a slim 13-10 lead early on with a 26-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker. However, their lead could have been larger had wide receiver Keenan Allen not dropped a pass at the goal line on third down. Allen's missed opportunity leaves the door open for the Packers to potentially come back and seize control of the game.

With both teams grappling with injuries to key players, the remaining players on the field will have to step up and fill the void in order to secure victory for their respective teams. As the game unfolds, it remains to be seen how these injury setbacks will affect the outcome.
