| News for Jones, Aaron |
|---|

Aaron Jones (knee) is active for Week 8 against the Lions. 2026-11-01 12:00:03 Jones was able to practice in full on Friday after battling the lingering knee issue all week. He could be somewhat limited against Detroit, creating a potentially bigger workload for Jordan Mason, who profiles as a flex option in 12-team leagues. Vikings declared Jakobe Thomas, Charles Demmings, Demond Claiborne, Caleb Tiernan, Elijah Williams, and Max Brosmer inactive against the Lions. |

Aaron Jones (knee) returned to practice Thursday. 2026-10-29 16:00:02 Jones was forced from the team’s Week 7 win over the Colts due to an aggravation of an existing knee injury. The fact he was able to return to the practice field in any capacity after missing Wednesday’s session is good news for his potential availability against the Lions. We would expect him to form a loose committee with Jordan Mason, if active Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his level of participation Friday. |

Aaron Jones (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. 2026-10-28 15:00:02 Jones has reportedly been playing through a sprained MCL in one knee since Week 2. He seemingly aggravated it in Week 7 and left the game early in the fourth quarter. On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Jones is considered “day-to-day.” Jones could once again play through the issue this week against the Lions. Stay tuned. |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Aaron Jones is considered “day-to-day” after suffering a knee injury in Week 7’s win over the Colts. 2026-10-26 12:00:01 Jones’ status will be one to watch this week as the Vikings prepare for their Week 8 matchup against the Lions. While the team calling him day-to-day is encouraging, Jones was already dealing with a knee injury entering Week 7, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Vikings opted to sit him this week to give him some additional time to recover. Jordan Mason, who rushed 15 times for 68 yards in Sunday’s win over the Colts could be in line for a busy day against the Lions if Jones is unable to go. |

Aaron Jones rushed eight times for 26 yards in the Vikings’ Week 7 win over the Colts, adding one reception for zero yards. 2026-10-25 17:00:03 Jones got the start in the Vikings backfield, ripping off four straight carries for nine yards on Minnesota’s first possession. Outside of the opening possession, Jones took a backseat to Jordan Mason, seeing a mix of passing-down snaps and short-yardage carries. He caught his only target in the red zone but had it punched out for a fumble out of bounds. Jones left in the fourth quarter with a knee injury; he had been playing through an MCL injury and may have aggravated the issue. Prior to the injury, Jones was getting out-snapped by Mason and ends with 15 snaps to Mason’s 38, while getting six less touches. Jones is a low-end fantasy RB2 if healthy for Week 8. |
