News: 9 hours agoThe left knee injury that forced Jones out of Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts isn't considered significant, and the running back is viewed as day-to-day, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Spin: Jordan Mason (thumb) returned from injured reserve and stepped back in as the Vikings' lead ball carrier while Jones shifted into a change-of-pace role. Jones carried eight times for 26 yards and added one reception for no gain across 15 snaps before exiting with 12:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. After the game, head coach Kevin O'Connell acknowledged that Jones experienced an aggravation of the MCL sprain he previously sustained in Week 2. Jones was able to return to action the following week, but the results of an MRI on Monday will help determine whether he can avoid an absence during the Vikings' Week 8 game in Detroit.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jones is back for a third season in Minnesota after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign limited him to 747 yards (his fewest since his rookie season in 2017) and three touchdowns in 12 games. Jones remained fairly busy (11.0 carries and 3.4 targets per game) but didn't perform well, ranking dead last among 65 backs with 50-plus carries in forced missed tackle rate and elusive rating, per PFF. Jones failed to record a single top-10 fantasy outing. Now 31 years old, Jones remains a starter and will get some run, but he's well past his prime and unlikely to return to consistent fantasy output. Jones is best valued as a bench player with occasional flex appeal.
