James Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Browns despite not practicing at all this week.
The Packers seem to be attempting to give off the impression Jones has a chance to play, but in all likelihood his PCL sprain is at least a 1-2 week injury. Look for Jordy Nelson, Myles White, and Jarrett Boykin to formulate Green Bay's three-receiver packages in Sunday's game versus Cleveland.

James Jones (knee) remained sidelined at Packers practice Friday.
It's looking like Jones is going to sit out this week against the Browns. He hasn't practiced at all since suffering a sprained PCL last week versus the Ravens. Fantasy owners need to make other plans for their WR3. Jordy Nelson and Jarrett Boykin will handle receiver duties, while Jermichael Finley will work the slot more this week. Brandon Bostick could see some work at tight end.

James Jones (knee) remained out of Packers practice Thursday.
The Pack are hoping to know Jones' Week 7 status by Friday, but it's not looking like he's going to play. That would leave Jarrett Boykin as Aaron Rodgers' No. 2 receiver. Even if Jones does suit up, he'd likely be on a strict snap count. You need to be making other plans at your WR3 spot.

James Jones (leg) did not participate in Packers practice Wednesday.
Jones is reportedly battling a sprained PCL, but the Packers have yet to reveal anything. Coach Mike McCarthy addresses the media every Wednesday afternoon, so it's possible we'll find out more. For now, Jones' Week 7 status is up in the air.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports James Jones escaped Sunday's knee injury with a PCL sprain and "might be able to play" in Week 7.
It's obviously too early in the week to speculate with any confidence on such things, but it sounds like Jones is headed for a game-time decision against the Browns. If Jones and Randall Cobb (knee) can't face Cleveland, Aaron Rodgers would likely pepper Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley with targets. Eddie Lacy projects for another 18-20 rushing attempts on the ground.

James Jones was spotted with a bag of ice on his shin following Sunday's game-ending injury.
It's notable because initial fears were Jones suffered a right knee injury. Jones walked off the field under his own power, but had a full leg brace under his sweats late in the game on the sideline. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday evening the Packers believe they "dodged a bullet" with Jones' injury. "We'll find out tomorrow," coach Mike McCarthy said. "... James Jones, I'm hoping for good information there."

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Packers WR James Jones (leg) "dodged a bullet" with his Week 6 injury, and is indicating to sources that "he's OK."
Jones limped off the field in the first quarter before being taken to the locker room in the second. The Packers did not update his status after the game, though it appears he may have suffered a hyperextended knee. If that was the post-game diagnosis, it's possible he'll be ready for Week 7. Jones will be under pressure to play, as Randall Cobb's (knee) injury appeared more serious. Jones' status will be updated no later than Monday afternoon.

James Jones was forced from Green Bay's Week 6 game against the Ravens with a left leg injury, and is questionable to return.
Jones limped off the field under his own power early in the first quarter. The injury appears more to his knee than leg/ankle. It didn't seem overly serious, but Jones was spotted on the sideline with his helmet off. It's possible his afternoon is through. Jones had one catch for 10 yards before departing. Jarrett Boykin is now on in three-receiver sets.

James Jones caught four passes for 127 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay's Week 5 win over the Lions.
With the Pack still looking for their first big play of the day late in the third quarter, Jones smoked Lions CB Chris Houston down the sideline for a career-long, 83-yard touchdown. He nearly beat Houston for a 27-yard score a quarter later, but the play was overturned on review. With a quarter of the season in the books, the boom-or-bust WR3 is now on pace for 76 catches, 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns. There will be the occasional dud, but Jones is too explosive to ever bench.
