The Minnesota Vikings have placed Aaron Jones on the Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury. Jones was injured in the Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons and will now be out until at least Week 7.

This news means Jordan Mason will be the unquestioned starter for the Vikings in Jones’ absence. Mason has been the leading rusher for the Vikings through two weeks with 24 carries totalling 98 yards. With Jones landing on the Injured Reserve, the team has signed Cam Akers to the practice squad, and he could be elevated to the 53-man roster for the game against the Bengals. The Vikings’ offense has quickly become depleted with quarterback J.J. McCarthy nursing a high ankle sprain, Jordan Addison still serving his three-game suspension, and a banged-up offensive line.
