Now Jones will go out for at least 7th week. The Vikings host Bengals on Sunday, travel to Ireland to meet Pittsburgh Steelers on September 28, go to London in October 5 games against Cleveland Browns, have a goodbye to the 6th week and then host Philadelphia Eagles on October 19.
With Jones out, Jordan Mason is now undisputed RB1 for the Vikings.
Mason has been the leading Rusher team in both Minnesota games and leveled 24 to 98 meters in 45 snapshots. Jones goes with 13 to 46 meters on 43 snapshots so far this season. He had eight chances at 23 meters in 22-6 losses on Sunday when the Vikings went down to 1-1 and concern attached to the offensive.
This is a big hit on a rapid Belgiered Viking fracture.
Started team manager JJ McCarthy will probably miss the game against Cincinnati with high ankles. Started on the left tackle Christian Darrisaw has not yet played this season as he is returning from ACL tear, his Justin Skule’s cancellation is in conjunction and it is also starting the Ryan Kelly Center. Wide receiver Jordan Addison also has one more game in his postponement due to violation of the department’s abuse policy.
Since he had raised himself for a dramatic victory at Chicago Bears in Week 1, the Vikings have had some difficulties with Jones’s position the latest.
