Vikings' Pat Jones: Past knee injury
Jones (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Jones upgraded to a full session Friday after beginning the Vikings' week of practice with consecutive limited outings, indicating that he's ready to play in Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old pass rusher has recorded 7.0 sacks and one forced fumble in 13 games this season and is expected to cause problems for a struggling Seahawks offensive line in Week 16.

Vikings' Pat Jones: Begins Week 16 with two LPs
Jones (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Jones has been dealing with a knee injury since early December and didn't play Week 14 against Atlanta. He returned to action this past Monday against the Bears, though, and logged three tackles while playing 28 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. It's not clear if Jones has had a setback or if the Vikings are simply managing the knee issue, though it's worth noting that he put together an LP/FP/FP practice progression last week and entered the weekend without an injury designation.

Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Vikings' Pat Jones: Two more sacks against 49ers
Jones had five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Jones has recorded two sacks in each of Minnesota's first two games and has five total sacks his last two seasons. The 2021 third-round draft pick wasn't thought of as an impact pass rusher, but he's benefited from the focus on other players amid a deep rotation. Jones played on just 34 of the defense's 74 snaps, so he may not get the volume of opportunities with which to come close to keeping up this pace.

Vikings' Pat Jones: Impresses down stretch
Jones logged 32 total tackles, including 1.0 sack and an additional four tackles for loss, in 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
The 2021 third-round pick saw increased snaps on Minnesota's defense after D.J. Wonnum sustained a quadriceps injury towards the end of the season, and he took advantage of the opportunity. In the Vikings' final three games, Jones racked up 16 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two additional tackles for loss. The 26-year-old also saw the most snaps he's seen as a pass rusher in his career in 2023 (388) and finished third on the team with 32 pressures, almost 20 more than he had in 2022. Jones is heading into the final season of his rookie contract, and he'll likely continue to contribute as a rotational pass rusher.

Vikings' Pat Jones: Racks up nine stops in Week 17 loss
Jones tallied nine tackles (five solo) Sunday in a loss to the Packers.
Jones finished third on the Vikings with nine tackles in the defeat, recording his highest total this season. He also played on a campaign-high 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps after hovering around the 50-percent mark for most of the campaign. Jones' extended opportunity came as a result of D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) landing on IR last week due to injury, and Jones figures to see plenty of work again in Minnesota's regular-season finale Sunday in Detroit.

Vikings' Pat Jones: Gets first sack of season
Jones had six total tackles, including a sack and two additional tackles for loss, in Sunday's loss to Detroit.
It was Jones' first sack of the season as he played a season-high 52 snaps on defense. Jones could get more playing time and be depended on in the pass rush with D.J. Wonnum likely to miss time with a quad injury.

Vikings' Patrick Jones: No tackles in loss
Jones didn't have a tackle but had two QB hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Jones was heavily in the mix as an edge rusher while playing on 40 of the defense's 68 snaps. He struggled against the run in the loss, so he'll need to improve to stay in the rotation.
