Vikings place Jordan Mason on IR; Kyler Murray returns to practice

The Minnesota Vikings have placed running back Jordan Mason on short-term injured reserve due to a small fracture in his thumb. Mason is expected to miss at least four games after undergoing a procedure. Head coach Kevin O’Connell indicated that the team has signed DeeJay Dallas to the active roster and added Jerome Ford to the practice squad as they prepare for their matchup against Chicago. Additionally, quarterback Kyler Murray is a limited participant in practice as he progresses through concussion protocols, following an injury he sustained shortly into last week's game versus the Packers.
