The Minnesota Vikings had their full offensive armament available for only the second time in Week 10, but that didn’t last long.

The team’s running back Aaron Jones suffered a chest injury in the third quarter of their Week 10 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Here’s what you should know about Jones’ injury and his status for the remainder of Week 10 play and beyond.

Aaron Jones injury update

Jones was injured late in the third quarter of the Jaguars-Vikings game. He completed a 7-yard carry down the middle of the field before being sandwiched by Trevon Walker and Foye Oluokun.

Jones shot hard to both sides during the carry and was slow to get back up. He made his way to the sideline but eventually got up on one knee, allowing medical staff to attend to him on the field.

Jones entered the blue medical tent and did not return to the field during Minnesota’s field goal drive. He later showed up and was seen jogging on the sidelines but was eventually carted off to the locker room.

The Vikings then announced that it was “questionable” that Jones would return with a pectoral injury.

Who is Aaron Jones’ backup on the Vikings depth chart?

Cam Akers is currently Jones’ backup. The Vikings acquired the veteran running back before the 2024 NFL trade deadline and he ended up taking the No. 2 back role away from Ty Chandler.

Akers entered Sunday with 193 yards and a touchdown on 46 carries, most of them with the Houston Texans.
