Vikings work out three running backs amid Jordan Mason injury concerns

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings held workouts for running backs Jerome Ford, Ulysses Bentley, and Kenny McIntosh at TCO Performance Center on September 16, 2026. This comes after head coach Kevin O'Connell disclosed that Jordan Mason is dealing with thumb soreness following a game where he rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown. Ford, with experience from the Browns, is seen as a potential addition to the roster, especially if Mason's injury affects his availability. O'Connell has indicated further testing will clarify Mason's condition, and if he is sidelined, Aaron Jones is expected to lead the backfield.
