Vikings' Aaron Jones Avoids Significant Knee Injury, Considered Day-to-Day
Minnesota's lead back left Sunday's win over the Colts with a knee injury and had an MRI scheduled, but the news Monday was encouraging
Vikings running back Aaron Jones' knee injury isn't considered significant, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday, and a source described him as day-to-day.
Jones left Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts late and didn't return. He was scheduled for an MRI on Monday, so this is about the best outcome Minnesota could have hoped for.

Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Vikings RB Aaron Jones’ knee injury that he suffered during Sunday’s win over the Colts is not considered to be significant at this time, and a source described him as “day to day.”
He finished with 26 yards on eight carries against Indianapolis and has 436 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 105 carries this season.
The timing helps. Jordan Mason returned from injured reserve this week and led the Vikings with 68 yards on 15 carries Sunday, so Minnesota has a capable option if Jones is limited. The 6-0 Vikings visit the Lions on Sunday.
