Jordan Mason expected to play for Vikings in Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Mason returns after a thumb injury sidelined him since Week 2, logging three full practices before drawing a questionable tag for the game. While he had a strong performance in his first game this season with 15 carries, it's uncertain how much action he will see, as reports suggest he may split carries with teammate Aaron Jones. Considering the favorable matchup against the Colts' defense, which allows the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs, there are still concerns about Mason's workload.
