Aaron Jones, the Minnesota Vikings running back, has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season. He will be out for at least four weeks. This means he is expected to miss a minimum of the next four games, with a possible return around Week 7, but a longer recovery period cannot be ruled out. The Vikings have already signed Cam Akers to fill the backfield in Jones' absence, with Jordan Mason expected to take over primary rushing duties during this period.
