Overview
- Jones left early in the third quarter after looking hobbled, but the team listed the issue as a shoulder rather than a leg concern.
- He posted 98 yards from scrimmage before halftime, and his status was reported as questionable to return by Tim Twentyman.
- Jordan Mason took over rushing duties as the Vikings adjusted their approach against Detroit.
- Jones previously spent time on injured reserve this season because of a hamstring injury, renewing questions about durability.
- External analysis has floated him as a possible trade candidate based on contract terms, which remains speculative and unconfirmed.
