Aaron Jones out of practice with a knee injury
Reports were that Vikings running back Aaron Jones avoided a serious injury last Sunday, but his practice work is still being managed this week. The Vikings’ first injury report of the week shows that Jones did not practice on Wednesday. Jones aggravated a knee injury in the second half of Minnesota’s win over the Colts and word is that he is considered day-to-day heading into Sunday’s game against the Lions. Jordan Mason led the team in rushing against the Colts and would be in line for an even bigger role if Jones isn’t able to play this week. Guard Joe Huber (knee) was also out of practice for the Vikings. Right tackle Brian O’Neill (knee) was a limited participant

Aaron Jones will have an MRI on his knee
On Sunday, Vikings running back Aaron Jones made an early exit after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. After the game, coach Kevin O’Connell said Jones aggravated a knee injury he suffered earlier in the season. The injury happened in the Week 2 game against the Bears. He did not practice the following Wednesday but returned the next day and did not miss the Week 3 game. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Jones will have an MRI on Monday. The current hope is that it won’t be a long-term situation for Jones. With the trade deadline only 16 days away, the Vikings were already believed to be interested in adding a running back. If Jones will be missing some time, the urgency to do so could increase. The good news for the Vikings was that Jordan Mason returned on Sunday, after missing four games following a Week 1 thumb injury. Mason had 15 carries for 68 yards in his return. Now 6-0, the Vikings have a gauntlet coming. They play the Lions in Detroit, the Bills at home on Monday night, the Packers at Lambeau Field, and the 49ers in Mexico City

Jordan Mason - In line to practice Wednesday
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Mason (thumb) is expected to practice Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. The Vikings designated Mason to return from injured reserve Monday after he missed the team's previous four games due to a small fracture in his thumb that required surgery. His activity level Wednesday will serve as his base line for Week 7 prep, but per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, the team is optimistic that Mason will do enough this week to be activated ahead of Sunday's contest against the Colts

Vikings designate RB Jordan Mason to return to practice
The Vikings are getting healthier on offense. Minnesota has designated running back Jordan Mason to return to practice. The club will have 21 days to activate him off of injured reserve. But he could also be back as soon as this week. Mason has been sidelined by a fractured thumb. In his second season with the Vikings, Mason took 15 carries for 59 yards with a touchdown in the Week 1 victory over the Packers. Last year, he rushed for 758 yards with six touchdowns in 16 games with five starts

Jordan Mason is Worth Stashing with Return Looming
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) was designated to return from the Injured Reserve on Monday. Mason will have his 21-day practice window opened after missing the last four games while recovering from thumb surgery. The Vikings are hopeful that Mason will be able to return for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. It has been a month-long layoff for Mason, so he might not be quite ready yet from a conditioning standpoint. Once he's healthy, Mason should see a fairly consistent role behind Aaron Jones Sr. in the backfield. Fantasy managers looking for help at the running back spot should consider stashing Mason

Jordan Mason - Ready to practice

The Vikings designated Mason (thumb) for return from injured reserve Monday. Minnesota will open Mason's 21-day practice window Monday after the running back missed the team's last four games while recovering from thumb surgery. Per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, the Vikings have optimism that Mason will be able to play Sunday against the Colts, though his availability may hinge on how he looks from a conditioning standpoint during practices after a month-long layoff from action. Once he's fully ramped up, Mason should settle back in as the Vikings' top ball carrier on earlier downs, allowing Aaron Jones to slide back into more of a change-of-pace role

Can Managers Trust Jordan Mason When He Returns to Action?
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) is expected to return to action after the team's Week 6 bye, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. The 27-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve with a fractured thumb after the team's Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Mason has missed his required four games after landing on Injured Reserve and will get an additional week because of the bye. During Mason's absence, Aaron Jones Sr. has handled the majority of the work and has been the PPR RB11 in overall scoring, averaging 15.1 points per game. Jones' production should give Mason managers hope that he can become a solid fantasy asset for the remainder of the season. However, it will be interesting to see how the team utilizes both backs when Mason returns. If Mason is on the waiver wire, he is a worthy bench stash until he returns to the lineup

Demond Claiborne a Short-Term Handcuff Option in Deep Leagues
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Demond Claiborne was thrust into a bigger role when the team put Jordan Mason (thumb) on Injured Reserve last week. However, the Vikings have been hesitant to put too much on the sixth-rounder out of Wake Forest's plate early in his first season in the NFL, and that showed in the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 22-year-old only played three offensive snaps and had three rushing attempts for just one yard, while both Max Bredson and DeeJay Dallas out-snapped him behind starter Aaron Jones Sr. Claiborne's role could grow over the next couple of weeks, though, and Mason will miss at least three more games while on IR. In Claiborne's NFL debut in the Week 2 victory over the division-rival Chicago Bears, he had just one reception for a gain of two yards. At best, Claiborne is a short-term handcuff option for fantasy managers who have Jones rostered, but once Mason returns from his thumb injury, Claiborne will be buried on Minnesota's RB depth chart again. He is currently rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues
