Jordan Mason questionable as Vikings prepare to face Colts
Mason practiced without restrictions throughout the week, but Minnesota must restore him to its active roster before he can return.
Minnesota has assigned Jordan Mason a questionable designation for its matchup with Indianapolis. The running back is the lone Vikings player carrying an injury designation for the game; receiver Justin Jefferson is ready to play.
A thumb fracture suffered against Green Bay in the opening game sent Mason to injured reserve on Sept. 16. His practice participation was unrestricted throughout the week after the opening of his 21-day window, though a roster move is still required for him to play.
Before the injury layoff, Minnesota divided its Week 1 rushing attempts between Mason, who recorded 15 carries, and Aaron Jones Sr., who had 12.
Jones subsequently handled the heavier rushing workload while Mason was sidelined, despite an MCL sprain affecting his left knee, ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reported.
