Aaron Jones injury updates : Vikings running back is back at practice

Vikings offense can get a boost on Sunday with Aaron Jones return

Ahead of Week 7 clash against the Detroit Lions, Vikings’ offense got a good news yesterday with Aaron Jones back at practice.

Vikings’ running back returns to practice is really good step into the right direction for the team, less than 48h before the key matchup against NFC North rival.

Just because, Aaron Jones gets back to practice, doesn’t necessarily mean that he will be available on Sunday.

Full participant to warming drills, Aaron Jones has also been spotted catching passes during training, another good sign for Minnesota. Since getting injured, Jones is doing his best to get back as quickly as possible with different kinds of treatment.

Aaron Jones impact on Vikings offense

That’s safe to say that Jones has already established himself as a primarily threat in Vikings’ backfield this season.

He already has 71 carries for 350 yards and a touchdown along with 17 receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown. he plays a great part of Vikings success this season so far.

His presence next to Sam Darnold offers the quarterback a great support in both passing and running area.

Getting back on Sunday will considerably increase Vikings chances to remain undefeated.

The Vikings host the Detroit Lions at US Bank Stadium on Sunday, October 20th at 1 pm ET on Fox.
