Analysis

Neither team could move the ball on the ground Sunday, resulting in rushing averages of 2.5 yards for Minnesota and 1.7 yards for Tennessee. Jones actually finished as the game's leading rusher despite his paltry output. Cam Akers (10-25-0) continues to cut into the starter's touches, even vulturing a receiving touchdown in this contest. Jones is the superior talent and should remain the preferred fantasy option out of the Vikings' backfield heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

Analysis

His availability isn't much of a surprise given that the returned to last week's 12-7 win at Jacksonville after he suffered the injury, taking four carries for 17 yards over the Vikings' final two drives. Jones will continue leading the Minnesota backfield, with Cam Akers subbing in for carries here and there.

Analysis

Jones' practice limitations this week can be attributed to the rib injury that forced him to miss about a quarter of action during this past Sunday's win at Jacksonville. There's been no indication that his status is in peril for Sunday's game at Tennessee, but Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.

Analysis

As expected, Jones is opening Week 11 prep with a capped session due to the rib issue that forced him to miss about a quarter of action this past Sunday at Jacksonville. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Wednesday that Jones "will progress" as the week continues, so a full practice seems likely for the running back Thursday and/or Friday.

Analysis

Jones missed about a quarter of action in the second half of Sunday's win in Jacksonville due to a chest injury but got back into the contest late in the fourth quarter. During his time off the field, he underwent X-rays that returned negative, per Seifert. O'Connell called Jones' health concern a rib issue Monday, so pain tolerance likely will be the running back's main impediment in the short term.

Analysis

Jones suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter and missed roughly 15 minutes of game time before re-entering the contest late in the fourth quarter. He still led the team in carries and was the only running back to record multiple catches, allowing him to top 100 total yards for the first time since Week 7. Most importantly, Jones spoke to reporters after the game and disclosed that his X-rays came back clean per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, suggesting he should be fine heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Titans.

Analysis

Jones stayed on the turf late in the third quarter, visited the sideline tent and then was carted to the locker room due to a chest injury. However, he was able to return and log back-to-back carries in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

Analysis

Officially, Jones is questionable to return due to a chest injury, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Prior to his exit, Jones remained on the turf as trainers tended to him and then visited the medical tent before trying to jog on the sideline. If he doesn't reenter the contest, he'll end Week 10 with 13 carries for 71 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 13 yards. Cam Akers likely will take on a large share of the Vikings backfield for as long as Jones is out, but Ty Chandler also is on hand for RB reps.

Analysis

Jones struggled to the tune of a 3.0 per-carry average without scoring a touchdown in Sunday's win. All of Minnesota's scoring came via the passing game, while the team's leading rusher struggled to gain traction against a tough Indianapolis front. Jones has scored just three touchdowns through eight starts with Minnesota, but he has produced 810 yards from scrimmage to help offset the lack of scoring. The veteran tailback could be in line for a healthy projection against the lowly Jaguars next Sunday.
