Vikings Return RB Jordan Mason From Injured Reserve After Broken Thumb Kept Him Out the Last 4 Games
The running back’s 21-day practice window opens after a thumb fracture sidelined him for the first four games, easing Aaron Jones’ workload.
- On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings designated running back Jordan Mason to return from injured reserve, initiating his 21-day practice window.
- Mason sustained a thumb fracture during the September 13 opener against Green Bay, where he rushed for 59 yards before the injury sidelined him for the mandatory four-game spell.
- In Mason's absence, 31-year-old veteran Aaron Jones has assumed the lead back role, accumulating 410 rushing yards while playing around 80% of offensive snaps for the undefeated Vikings.
- Mason will return to practice Wednesday to begin his recovery process; NFL rules grant him three weeks to practice before the team must add him to the active roster.
- Team officials expect Mason to be available after the minimum absence, which should alleviate pressure on Jones and restore the Vikings' full backfield depth for the remainder of the season.
