Jones was ultimately diagnosed with a chest injury, but ultimately returned with one minute left in the game after being listed as questionable.
After Jones left the game, Minnesota was able to make a field goal before Jones got on the cart. At that moment in the third quarter, the Jags’ advantage had narrowed to 7-6.
The Vikings continued to win, but 12-7.

Punch out the right side of the ribs. He fell to the ground clutching his ribs. I hope it’s not a broken bone, but it looks like it’s in a lot of pain. pic.twitter.com/TgRKvCHeag

Aaron Jones is back in the game, and it’s likely due to his sure hand.
