Vikings' Aaron Jones Expected to Play vs. Lions

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, despite being listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury. Reports indicate that Jones should be ready to resume his lead role, as he participated in limited practice after missing earlier sessions. Initially thought to have a hip injury, it was later confirmed that his issue was with his hamstring, which he aggravated during the London game against the Jets. Insider Ian Rapoport noted that the Vikings have been cautious with players returning from injury, suggesting that if Jones is cleared, he will contribute significantly to the game. Additionally, tight end T.J. Hockenson's status remains uncertain, with speculation that he may not return until later in the season. The matchup is crucial for the Vikings as they aim to perform well against their division rivals.
