Vikings running back Aaron Jones was called questionable to return after going to get his knee checked out on Sunday and he did not return for the final minutes of Minnesota's 16-10 win over the Colts.

Scoring Zone's Take
Aaron Jones aggravated the same knee injury during Sunday's game and did not return, which is the headline concern here. Both reports are light on detail — no word yet on severity, an MRI, or a practice/game designation for this week — so confidence in the actual fantasy impact is limited at this stage.
For this week, you should treat Jones as a legitimate injury risk and have a contingency plan ready. If you have any flexibility at the RB position, lean toward sitting him until you get a clearer practice report or official designation, especially in a must-win lineup spot. Monitor team injury reports closely in the coming days, since aggravation of an existing knee issue often trends toward more missed time rather than less, even though nothing concrete on duration has been reported yet.
For season-long value, this is a yellow flag rather than a full stop. Jones remains talented and valuable when healthy, but recurring knee issues raise the risk of a committee backfield or a stint on the inactive list if the injury lingers. Hold him on your roster for now — there's no indication he's being ruled out long-term — but it's worth lining up handcuff or streaming options at RB in case this turns into missed games. Avoid trading for him at full value until there's clarity, and if you're shopping him, expect his trade value to soften until the knee is confirmed fine. Treat this as a game-time-decision watch situation heading into next week.
