Vikings’ Running Back Situation Takes a Hit
The Minnesota Vikings are facing a potentially challenging situation in their backfield as the holiday season approaches. Reports indicate that running back Jordan Mason is unlikely to take the field for their upcoming matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Mason’s Status Remains Uncertain
According to insights from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Mason’s chances of playing on Thursday are slim. Although the Vikings have not officially ruled him out due to an ankle injury, sources suggest he is considered a “longshot” to participate in the game. This news adds an unexpected twist to the team’s preparations as they gear up for a crucial division clash.
As the Vikings look ahead to the game, they are grappling with the implications of Mason’s potential absence. The running back position has become a focal point for the team, and the uncertainty surrounding Mason’s health could impact their game plan against a formidable Lions squad.
The Vikings will be monitoring Mason’s recovery closely in the days leading up to the game, hoping for some good news as they aim to bolster their playoff aspirations.
