Vikings Lose Key Running Back Jordan Mason to Ankle Injury Against Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Minnesota Vikings suffered a significant blow to their running game early in Sunday’s contest against the New York Giants, as leading rusher Jordan Mason was ruled out with an ankle injury.
The injury occurred during the Vikings’ opening drive. Mason, who was already filling in for injured starter Aaron Jones Sr. (ankle), sustained the injury at the end of a 6-yard reception. Mason managed just two carries for 5 yards before exiting the game.
With both Jones and Mason sidelined in the first quarter, the Vikings were forced to turn to third-string running back Zavier Scott, until Jones’ return in the second quarter.
Mason entered the game as the Vikings’ top rusher this season, boasting 659 rushing yards and six touchdowns. His absence leaves a void in the Vikings’ offense as they continue their battle against the Giants. The severity of Mason’s injury remains unknown.
