Aaron Jones, the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings, has been participating in practice as he recovers from a hamstring injury. After being limited in practice earlier in the week, his participation is a positive sign for his availability in the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions. The Vikings have also added depth to their backfield by acquiring Cam Akers, but this move does not necessarily indicate that Jones will miss the game.

• Aaron Jones is making progress in his recovery and could be available for Week 7.
• The Vikings have bolstered their running back depth with the acquisition of Cam Akers.
