After just five carries in the 22-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Minnesota Vikings took a gut punch with running back Aaron Jones having to leave the game with a hamstring injury. The workload switched over to Jordan Mason.
Jones' hamstring injury first resulted in him being ruled out of the Week 3 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Then, NFL Media's Tom Pelissero shared on Tuesday that the Vikings were placing Jones on injured reserve, knocking him out for the next four games.
Minnesota's leading rusher in the loss would end up being Mason, who had nine carries for 30 yards and added two receptions for eight yards.
