Vikings RB Jordan Mason Practices Fully, Poised for Increased Role if Jones Sidelined

Vikings RB Jordan Mason (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, progressing from a limited session Wednesday. Mason was knocked out of a Week 16 game due to the ankle injury and was sidelined last Thursday. With fellow RB Aaron Jones (hip) yet to practice this week, Mason could be in line for a leading role in Week 18 against the Packers if Jones is inhibited or unable to play.
