"Minnesota's offense took a massive blow after its Week 2 loss to the Falcons. Starting QB J.J. McCarthy is out 2-4 weeks with an ankle sprain. On top of that, starting RB Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury and has been placed on the IR. Not ideal at this point in the season. The team has a capable backup RB in Jordan Mason. He proved that in 2024 when he was with the 49ers."
"Christian McCaffrey missed a majority of the season for San Francisco. This allowed Jordan Mason to play in 12 games and made six starts for the 49ers. He had 153 carries for 789 yards and three rushing touchdowns. On top of that, he added 11 catches for 91 yards. Through two games in 2025, Jordan Mason leads the Vikings with 24 carries for 98 rushing yards. J.J. McCarthy has the only rushing touchdown through two weeks."
The Vikings lost Week 2 to the Falcons 22-6 and sustained major offensive injuries. Starting QB J.J. McCarthy is sidelined 2-4 weeks with an ankle sprain. Starting RB Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury and was placed on injured reserve, sidelining him at least four weeks. Backup RB Jordan Mason will step into a starting role after proving durability and productivity with the 49ers in 2024. Mason leads the Vikings through two games with 24 carries for 98 yards. The team signed free-agent RB Cam Akers for a return to the roster.
