Vikings' Aaron Jones: Another 20-plus touches Sunday
Jones tallied 17 carries for 58 yards and reeled in five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win in Tampa Bay.
After dealing with a knee injury during Week 3 prep, Jones continued to lead the Vikings backfield Sunday with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. With the help of his first catches of the season, Jones surpassed 20 touches for a second game in a row, a span in which he's turned 45 touches into 197 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, reserve RBs DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne combined for four touches this weekend. Jones may operate with some practice restrictions during Week 4 prep but should remain Minnesota's No. 1 back next Sunday against the Dolphins, assuming he again is available.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Will play Sunday
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that Jones (knee) will be available for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Jones opened Week 3 prep with an absence from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but he progressed to limited Thursday before O'Connell cleared him ahead of the weekend. Thus, Jones likely will take on another workhorse role Sunday, as he did during a Week 2 win in Chicago, when he handled 23 carries for 105 yards.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Practicing again Friday
Jones (knee) was present for practice Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
After taking 23 carries for 105 yards in this past Sunday's 9-3 win at Chicago, Jones emerged from the contest with a knee injury that sidelined him at Wednesday's session. He then returned as a limited participant Thursday and appears as if he'll go down as at least that Friday, something that'll be revealed when the Vikings post their final Week 3 practice report.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Limited in Thursday's practice
Jones (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Jones opened Week 3 prep with no practice reps Wednesday due to a knee injury, but his ability to mix into some drills one day later is a positive step as the Vikings prepare for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he has a designation ahead of that matchup.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Back at practice Thursday
Jones (knee) was present for the open portion of Thursday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
Jones looks to be trending up after missing practice Wednesday. He took on a significant workload in Jordan Mason's absence in Week 2 with 23 carries, but did not come out unscathed. The veteran isn't a sure thing to play in Week 3 at this stage, though the current trajectory is encouraging. If Jones is ultimately unable to suit up, DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne would be next up for the Vikings.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Missing practice Wednesday
Jones (undisclosed) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
After the Vikings placed Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR last week, Jones was the team's unquestioned lead runner during a 9-3 win at Chicago this past Sunday, taking 23 carries for 105 yards. However, with Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reporting that Jones isn't a sure thing for a Week 3 road matchup with the Buccaneers due to a knee injury, his status is up in the air for Sunday. At the moment, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne represent Minnesota's healthy RBs on the active roster.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Tops 100 rushing yards in low-scoring win
Jones carried the ball 23 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.
Wet and windy conditions at Soldier Field put a damper on both teams' passing attacks, but Jones was able to keep the Minnesota offense moving on the ground. The veteran back saw a big workload with Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR, but Jones did briefly leave the game to tend to a minor knee injury in the fourth quarter. Assuming the knee doesn't linger, he figures to be busy again in a Week 3 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Back in Sunday's game
Jones (knee) returned to Sunday's contest at Chicago, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
Jones briefly left Minnesota's Week 2 matchup in the fourth quarter, but now that he's back in the game, he'll attempt to build upon his 23 carries for 105 yards in the team's first outing with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Departs Sunday with knee injury
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Bears in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury and is questionable to return.
Jones carried 18 times for 85 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game before he headed to the medical tent to get his knee checked out, per Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune. The Vikings were already without Jordan Mason (thumb) after placing him on injured reserve Wednesday, and if Jones is unable to finish the Week 2 contest, the team would be left with Demond Claiborne and DeeJay Dallas as its healthy backfield options.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Bigger role on tap
Jones projects to have a bigger role in the coming weeks with Jordan Mason (thumb) on short-term injured reserve, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Jones impressed in Week 1 with a touchdown but played only 30 snaps, as Jordan Mason ate up a decent amount of reps as well. With Mason out for at least four weeks, Jones projects to lead the backfield while DeeJay Dallas, Demond Claiborne and Jerome Ford serve as depth options.
