Aaron Jones Returns from Hamstring Injury, Limited in Vikings' Committee Backfield

AutoDraft Pro AI

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones made his return from a hamstring injury in Thursday night's game against the Chargers, operating in a committee alongside Jordan Mason. Despite his return, Jones struggled to find traction, carrying the ball five times for just 15 yards. The Vikings' backfield as a whole was ineffective, with the team falling behind early and running only 47 plays, limiting overall volume. Neither Jones nor Mason found significant running room.
