EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings' offensive backfield is in flux this week as starter Aaron Jones Sr. works through a knee injury and backup Jordan Mason remains on injured reserve.
The team planned to hold Jones out of practice Wednesday, coach Kevin O'Connell said, leaving only one running back on its roster who spent time with the team in training camp: rookie Demond Claiborne. Since then, the Vikings have signed three veterans: DeeJay Dallas, Jerome Ford and Jaret Patterson. As of Wednesday, Ford and Patterson were on the practice squad. Dallas was promoted to the 53-man roster last week.
