Jones goes to IR
The #Vikings are putting Aaron Jones on injured reserve with the hamstring strain he sustained on Sunday. The move will keep Jones out through the bye week, and clear room on the active roster for Desmond Ridder. Cam Akers could be a practice squad elevation on Sunday.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
What?!
@"MaroonBells" Did you hear that? Bro, are you as shocked as I am? Who could have imagined? Amirite?
:rolleyes:
Thank god we’ve got Felton instead of a guy like Tuten or JCM.

Jones won’t be back next year at any remotely close to his current salary. He’ll either take a cut or be on his way.

This I agree with.
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Didn’t understand it then. Don’t understand it now. It’s like the Vikings saw Jones get through a season relatively injury free and completely forgot who he was: an aging back who’s had 2 healthy seasons in 8.
I’m glad we brought in Cam Akers, but a back like Tuten in the 3rd would be serving us much better right now than whatever Tai Felton is doing for us….or as you call him, Ciatrick Faison. ;)
An even bigger misstep was taking the injured TE Bartholomew over Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the 6th when we had already signed Yurosek.

U know, I'm starting to wonder if drafting isnt an opportunity area for the Vikings?
Good thing they got owners who love to throw $$ at FA's

My guess is he wont be back next year period...
The old adage of better to move on a year early vs one too late may just apply here :)
We'll see how the rest of the season goes I guess.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
