Aaron Jones Returns to Practice for Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is likely to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, following a hamstring injury sustained during pregame warmups against the New York Jets. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport indicated that Jones appears to be in a 'good place' after a limited practice session on Thursday, which followed a day of rest on Wednesday. Although he is expected to be listed as questionable, Jones has been proactive in his recovery, utilizing the bye week for various treatments. His return is crucial for the Vikings' offense, which has relied heavily on him this season, as evidenced by his impressive stats of 350 rushing yards and 167 receiving yards. If Jones does not play, the Vikings will turn to Ty Chandler and Cam Akers to fill the void. The final injury report, due Friday, will clarify his status for the key NFC North matchup.
