Aaron jones injury

Vikings are never going to beat you with star power at running back, so I'm not overly concerned about this. Plug in the next guy up and let's see what happens. I think Jones probably plays on Sunday anyway.

Maybe after the 27 Draft we will. KOC has to continue to embrace his new found Ground KOC offense.

My guess is nothing major, but that Jones definitely took some abuse handling the load. Sounds like Deejay is dinged up as well. Will be curious if Scott is an option to resign to the active roster off the bears practice squad or whether that ship has sailed.

If we don't nab a starting RB in '27 free agency or the draft, there should be an investigation. Deandre Swift and Chase Brown were the two free agents that stood out to me.

I think KOC is a little surprised at how well this run and play defense thing works, but I'm curious to see how adding an actual QB to the mix changes things. With Vita Vea in the middle and not much of a secondary, we might find it easier to pass against them than run.

Swift signed a 3 year extension and is signed through 29. Besides, hopefully we’re spending the bulk of the cap elsewhere.

I know KOC loves Jones, and I understand why.

There's just not much talent in the rb room, so I'd like to see them do something impactful this year.

Probably a pipe dream though.

We are what we are this year. Jones is fine my guess, but somebody else needs to split the carries or he will wear down before the freakin bye.

if it was me and ford nor Dallas had it, it’s Claiborne time. Hell I’d like to see Dillon bell at the position for a few reps

The Vikings have two veteran RBs on the practice squad who in theory could be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster: Jerome Ford and Jaret Patterson. https://t.co/yGd6aH1uzx

Kevin O'Connell on Aaron Jones: "He feels pretty good and we'll just keep getting treatment around the clock and see if we can pick up his workload as the week goes on."

Couldn’t agree more with @jzulgad on everything he says here. https://t.co/ei3g0CTLtg

I enjoy everything purple daily puts out there. I listen to the podcasts and the YouTube channel. I like Zulgad, he is my man.

listen to them long enough and you will realize how dumb they are. Judd's ideas change so fast he contradicts himself yet never admits that he was ever wrong. Case in point, he was all about gotta draft a QB and play him on that rookie contract, then JJM is the man he will be great, now he says they will be lucky to get a 6th rounder in trade.

I remember, I believe they made a pretty big play for Etienne before he signed with New Awlins.
