Jones Dominates with Season-High Carries After Ankle Injury

Vikings RB Aaron Jones returned from an ankle injury, logging season highs with 21 carries for 85 yards and 2 catches for 8 yards in a 16-13 win over the Giants. Despite frequent in-game injuries, he handled a hefty workload, reaching 65 scrimmage yards for the third consecutive game. Following Jordan Mason's serious ankle injury, Jones' expanded role led to his highest rushing total and snap count of the season, marking his first double-digit fantasy point performance since Week 11. He commented, “We’re playing for each other.”
