LOS ANGELES — It appears that Aaron Jones is set to make his return for the Vikings.
After missing the past month and a half with a hamstring injury, Jones was officially activated from injured reserve in the hours leading up to kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium.
Though he will still have to go through warmups to make sure he’s feeling good, the 30-year-old running back has been trending in the right direction since the Vikings opened up his practice window earlier this week.
Asked about the potential of him playing despite only participating in walkthroughs, head coach Kevin O’Connell noted how Jones is a veteran that doesn’t necessarily need a practice to get himself ready to go.
“He knows what he has to do,” O’Connell said. “He knows what he needs to feel like.”
