Aaron Jones absent from practice, Jordan Mason expected to take on larger role
Summary

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones missed practice on October 28 due to a knee injury, raising concerns about his availability for Week 8. Jordan Mason returned from injured reserve and significantly outperformed Jones in Week 7, taking on 64% of offensive snaps compared to Jones's 25%. With Jones's injury worsening, Mason is set to become the primary running back moving forward, likely handling the majority of goal-line work.
