RB Aaron Jones sits out practice as Vikings begin prep for Buccaneers

The Minnesota Vikings may be preparing for another marquee road test this weekend, but the biggest news from Wednesday’s practice report involved veteran running back Aaron Jones Sr.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell said Jones will not practice Wednesday as he continues to work through a knee issue, though the Vikings remain hopeful the veteran leader can be available Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s a 3:05 p.m. Central kickoff.

“Aaron Jones won’t practice today,” O’Connell said, while noting the team is taking a day-to-day approach. “Still want to give them the opportunity to work through it and have a chance to play this week.”
