Jones (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is expected to play, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jones is on track to play unless he wakes up Sunday feeling any issues with his hamstring, according to Goessling. What initially was believed to be a hip injury that forced him out of the Vikings' last game Week 5 against the Jets was later clarified to be a hamstring issue. Jones sat out practice Wednesday, but he returned to the field as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. The Vikings are expected to officially clear Jones to play upon the release of their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
