The Minnesota Vikings have placed running back Aaron Jones on the injured reserve list due to a hamstring injury. This was reported by sources close to the team.<\/p>\n
Jones, now out of action for a minimum of four games, will leave the way clear for Jordan Mason to take the majority of carries in his absence.<\/p>\n
The Vikings are also expected to re-sign Cam Akers, who has had two separate stints with the team.<\/p>\n
Jones, 30, suffered the injury in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, where he only managed 23 yards on five carries.<\/p>\n
Before this, Jones had a similar performance in the Week 1 victory against the Chicago Bears, with five carries and 23 yards.<\/p>\n
The Vikings acquired Mason via a trade with the 49ers in March, and then signed a two-year contract with the 26-year-old running back. In his first two games with Minnesota, Mason has accumulated 98 yards on 24 carries and three receptions for 15 yards.<\/p>\n
The Vikings also have Zavier Scott in their running back group. Ty Chandler, another veteran running back, is on the injured reserve list due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Akers, 26, has played in Minnesota in two periods (2023, ’24), arriving in both cases via trades during the season.<\/p>\n
This week has been hectic for Minnesota, following injuries to J.J. McCarthy and Jones. The team also reached an agreement with quarterback Desmond Ridder on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
