Aaron Jones is working towards a return to practice after suffering a hip injury. He was present at a light practice session but did not participate fully on Wednesday. Coach Kevin O'Connell remains optimistic about Jones's chances of playing in the upcoming game against the Lions. Additionally, the Vikings have acquired Cam Akers to bolster their running back depth, although this move does not necessarily indicate that Jones will miss the game.
