Jordan Mason had eight rushes for 20 yards in the Vikings’ Week 8 loss to the Lions. 2026-11-01 18:00:02 Mason led the team in carries, as Aaron Jones — who came into the game with a knee issue — saw five rushing attempts on the day. Jones remained the team’s pass-catching option out of the backfield while Mason could not get anything going on the ground against a middling Lions rush defense. Mason, who had 15 carries last week, will remain a touchdown-dependent RB3 option in Week 9 against the Bills. |

Jordan Mason (thumb) is active for Week 7 against the Colts. 2026-10-25 12:00:02 The Vikings activated Mason off injured reserve and he is officially active for the first time since suffering a thumb injury in Week 1. He will split backfield touches with Aaron Jones, with Jones likely getting more of the passing-down work and Mason more the early-down work. Mason is a fantasy RB3 in his return. The Vikings declared S Jakobe Thomas, QB Max Brosmer, CB Chuck Demmings, RB Demond Claiborne, DL Elijah Willliams and OT Caleb Tiernan inactive for Week 7 against the Colts. |

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Vikings plan to activate Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve. 2026-10-24 14:00:03 Mason came into the season as the presumed lead back in a timeshare with Aaron Jones, the latter of whom has performed as a true workhorse in Mason’s absence. Although it could take a week or two for Mason to fully regain the lead back role, his presence significantly mutes the potential of Jones. Expect a near-even split when the Vikings take on the Colts in Week 7. |

Jordan Mason (thumb) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the Colts. 2026-10-23 15:00:02 Mason practiced in full all week. He seemingly has good odds of suiting up, but sometimes NFL teams will give players extra time off when they are returning from injured reserve. If Mason plays this weekend, he should be able to handle his normal lead-rushing role. In that case, he can be started as an RB2/FLEX. |

Jordan Mason (thumb) is practicing in full for Week 7 against the Colts. 2026-10-21 21:00:02 Mason is firmly on track to play in Week 7 against the Colts. He should tentatively be expected to lead the backfield in carries right away, with Aaron Jones potentially settling into a 1B role. The Colts’ defense is not an imposing unit, so both running backs are FLEX-viable this week. |
