Aaron Jones Saves Awful Day with Late TD

Aaron Jones Saves Awful Day with Late TD

Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried just five times for 22 yards and added 3 receptions for a mere 6 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately, his final catch went for a 5-yard, game-winning TD to save an otherwise brutal fantasy line.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones suffered an apparent rib injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. We'll update his status when we know more. Jones' absence leaves Minnesota's backfield to RBs Cam Akers and Ty Chandler.

Update: Jones is officially questionable to return with a chest injury.

Update: Jones returned late in the fourth quarter.

The Texans are trading RB Cam Akers to the Vikings for a swap of conditional Day 3 draft picks in 2026. Houston's sending Akers and a conditional seventh-rounder to the Vikings for a conditional sixth-rounder, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
