Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is dealing with rib and ankle injuries that may limit his practice participation this week. Coach Kevin O'Connell is optimistic about Jones' availability for the upcoming game against Tennessee. Despite missing some time in the last game due to a chest injury, X-rays returned negative, and Jones was able to return to the field late in the fourth quarter. Additionally, there are indications that he could be back for Week 7 against the Lions, although the Vikings have added depth to their running back position by acquiring Cam Akers.

- His rib injury is a pain tolerance issue, and he has already returned from a chest injury.
- Vikings acquired Cam Akers for added running back depth, but this does not necessarily mean Jones will miss time.
