Jones had 12 carries for 40 yards and one touchdown and didn't catch his only target during Sunday's 39-22 win against the Packers.
Jones started and played 30 of 65 offensive snaps, while position mate Jordan Mason came off the bench and logged 29. Because Mason was able to rip off a 28-yard run in the fourth quarter, his 15 rushes went for 59 yards, and both backs scored a TD from inside the 5-yard line. In order to keep the 31-year old Jones fresh, the Vikings likely will continue with a timeshare in the backfield, though a thumb issue Mason picked up Sunday could mean a bit less work for him in the short term.
