The Minnesota Vikings elevated DeeJay Dallas as Aaron Jones manages a knee issue, giving Kevin O'Connell added backfield depth against Detroit.
The Minnesota Vikings have elevated running back DeeJay Dallas from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's divisional game against the Detroit Lions. While Aaron Jones carries no injury designation after returning to full practice on Friday, Dallas' elevation offers head coach Kevin O'Connell veteran depth to manage Jones' recently aggravated knee.
Jones sustained the knee injury in Week 7, leaving Jordan Mason to handle significant rushing duties. Dallas provides specialized pass protection and special teams capabilities, serving primarily as insurance alongside Mason. Minnesota holds one standard elevation remaining for Dallas before requiring a permanent roster signing.
