Jordan Mason Returns to Action as Vikings Co-Starter in Backfield

Jordan Mason made his return to the field in Week 7, leading the Minnesota Vikings backfield in carries and prompting the team to list him as a co-starter alongside Aaron Jones Sr. Mason received seven more carries than Jones during the contest before Jones departed late with a knee injury. The younger Mason is expected to handle a heavy workload in the coming weeks as Minnesota looks to balance touch distribution in their running game.
