Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell delivered a couple of injury updates on two key players after Sunday’s win over the Packers.
While running back Aaron Jones was not in at the end of the game because he was dealing with a quad contusion.
“He was working his way through it,” O’Connell said, via Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star-Tribune. “He had some really good runs, but we decided to pull him.”
Cam Akers was in at the end of the contest for the game-sealing 6-yard catch for a third-down conversion.
O’Connell also noted that outside linebacker Pat Jones is expected “to miss al little bit of time” after sustaining a right knee injury during the contest. Pat Jones is set to undergo further evaluation on Monday.
Minnesota will take on Detroit next week for a game that will decide the NFC North and the conference’s No. 1 seed.
