Aaron Jones

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said the Vikings’ Week 7 game against the Lions is “likely to include Aaron Jones.”

As Rapoport reports, Jones suffered a hamstring injury in the Vikings’ Week 5 win over the Jets but had a chance to rest up during the team’s Week 6 bye. After being limited in Thursday’s practice, Jones appears on track to suit up for Week 7 if he’s able to get on the practice field again on Friday. We’ll have a better understanding of his availability once the team releases its final injury report, but Jones would profile as a solid RB2 if he’s able to go in this NFC North showdown.
