Vikings' Aaron Jones not expected to miss time with quad injury

Vikings running back Aaron Jones is not expected to miss game or practice time due to the quad injury that kept him out of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over the Packers, coach Kevin O’Connell said Monday.

Jones, whose 1,471 yards from scrimmage are 88 yards shy of setting a new career high, exited at the end of the third quarter after he was tackled by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper for a 2-yard loss. He finished with 77 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches.

O’Connell said the team received “really positive news” on edge rusher Pat Jones II’s right knee, which took a low cut block from Packers tight end Tucker Kraft in the second quarter. Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard called out Kraft on social media, saying, “Be a man block up high,” and calling on the league to ban low blocks.
