Jones was a limited practice at practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.
Jones' snap shares (55 percent in Week 1, 61 percent in Week 2) have been well ahead of backup Ty Chandler's (35 percent both times) this season. Having said that, Jones has 30 touches for 177 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown so far, while Chandler has turned 21 touches into 124 yards. Jones' injury history must be accounted for when it comes to the Vikings backfield, but he at least was able to mix into some drills Wednesday. As such, the team may be exercising caution with the eighth-year pro to ensure he's good to go Sunday against the Texans.
