Vikings Schedule MRI for Injured Running Back

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday after aggravating a preexisting left knee injury during Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that Jones aggravated the MCL sprain he originally suffered against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. Jones left the game in the fourth quarter following a 17-yard run.

Jones finished the contest with 26 rushing yards on eight carries before being ruled out. Fellow running back Jordan Mason returned from a thumb injury to lead the team with 68 yards on 15 carries, providing Minnesota with immediate backfield depth while they await Jones' test results ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
