"The Minnesota Vikings activated running back Aaron Jones to their 53-man roster Thursday, four hours before they were set to kick off against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. To make room for Jones on the roster, the Vikings waived rookie linebacker Kobe King. Jones started the Vikings' first two games this season, accounting for 90 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown over that period, but suffered a hamstring injury Sept. 14 against the Atlanta Falcons."
"The team didn't conduct a full practice on the short week, opting instead for a series of walk-throughs. But coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that the schedule wouldn't be an obstacle. "Yeah, he's a guy that you don't need to really kind of get out there and test too much," O'Connell said, "because of his rehab and the work he's done on the side fields. He's a veteran player. He knows what he has to do. He knows what he needs to feel like.""
Aaron Jones was activated to the Minnesota Vikings' 53-man roster Thursday, four hours before kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The Vikings waived rookie linebacker Kobe King to create roster space. Jones started the first two games, totaling 90 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown, before suffering a hamstring injury Sept. 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. During his four-game absence, Jordan Mason handled 66% of running back snaps and leads the team with 380 yards and four touchdowns. The Vikings opened Jones' 21-day practice window Monday, conducted walk-throughs during the short week, and coach Kevin O'Connell said the schedule would not be an obstacle given Jones' rehab and veteran experience.
