Knee injury keeps Aaron Jones out of practice for Vikings
ProFootballTalk reports Aaron Jones missed Monday's Vikings practice with a knee issue, having finished Sunday's win over Chicago in a brace. He is listed as questionable for the trip to Tampa Bay.
Vikings running back Aaron Jones finished last Sunday's win over the Bears with a brace on his knee and the issue was bothering him enough on Monday that he missed practice.
Sharp take
Sharp SixHoldA Monday absence is the least informative practice report there is. Jones has given you 10.0 and 10.5 in his two games, which is flex filler at best, so the knee is not costing you a difference-maker. Minnesota is a 1.5-point favourite in a 42.5-point total, which is not the spot you scramble to protect. Hold him and line up an alternative before the weekend. If he is already on your bench, this changes nothing.
