Running back Aaron Jones of the Minnesota Vikings is listed as “week to week” due to a hip ailment, per head coach Kevin O’Connell of the team. In the first quarter of the Vikings’ 23-17 victory over the New York Jets in London on Sunday, Jones suffered a hip injury.
“Aaron Jones continues to be evaluated,” O’Connell informed reporters on Tuesday. Based on the preliminary data that we now have, it appears that we have escaped a permanent harm.
