Initial roster observationObserved Sep 20, 2026, 7:00 am EDT · Historical profile reference

October 11 injury update

Jones returned to Minnesota’s game against New Orleans after leaving with a knee injury late in the first quarter. Myles Simmons reported his return at 1:51 p.m. Eastern. That game-day return is separate from any later practice or injury designation.

Aaron Jones is listed at RB on the Minnesota Vikings roster checked September 20, 2026. The official source lists the roster status as Active roster (ACT).

Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.

Statistics by season

UPDATED Updated Oct 12, 2026, 8:29 am EDT

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
