• Vikings' Jordan Mason: Still sharing backfield with Jones

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  As training camp approaches, Mason is slated to reclaim a key role in a Minnesota backfield that also includes Aaron Jones and rookie sixth-rounder Demond Claiborne, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Though the Vikings have yet to declare a starting QB between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy, there's continuity elsewhere in the offense, with the team's top two RBs, WRs and TEs from last year back for another campaign. Mason is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 758 yards and six TDs on 159 carries to go along with 14 catches for 51 yards in 16 contests, while Jones carried the ball 132 times for 548 yards and two touchdowns, adding 28 catches (on 41 targets) for 199 yards and a score in 12 games. With Mason and Jones both still around, another RB timeshare -- one that favors Jones in PPR formats -- is in the making for 2026, while Claiborne is a candidate to mix in on passing downs.

• Vikings' Jordan Mason: Productive in Week 18

  01/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Mason carried the ball 14 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. With Aaron Jones (hip) ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, Mason led the backfield with his best yardage total since Week 3. Fullback C.J. Ham vultured a one-yard TD run in the second quarter, however. Mason finishes his first season in Minnesota with 758 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 159 carries, and with both Jones and Mason on affordable contracts in 2026, the duo will likely remain in some form of timeshare next season.

• Vikings' Jordan Mason: Tracking toward Week 17 absence

  12/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mason (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice. While the Vikings estimated Mason as a non-participant on their first two Week 17 injury reports, the 26-year-old hasn't been ruled out from playing Thursday against the Lions, although he's viewed as a long shot to suit up, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Assuming Mason is formally ruled out following the release of Wednesday's injury report, Aaron Jones would be in line to lead the Minnesota backfield, provided he can move past the ankle injury that rendered him a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through.
