News: 6 hours agoJones (ribs) practice on a limited basis Wednesday.

Spin: As expected, Jones is opening Week 11 prep with a capped session due to the rib issue that forced him to miss about a quarter of action this past Sunday at Jacksonville. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Wednesday that Jones "will progress" as the week continues, so a full practice seems likely for the running back Thursday and/or Friday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jones joins the Vikings after spending his first seven seasons with the Packers. The 29-year-old is coming off of his least-productive season since his rookie year, missing six games due to a hamstring injury and MCL sprain. Jones is looking to rebound for a Vikings team desperately in need of punch at the position, after their RBs ranked 30th in scrimmage yards and touchdowns last season. Jones' touchdowns and fantasy points per game have decreased four years in a row. Still, Jones will be the RB1 in a Vikings offense that will use him in both the running and passing game. With that dual-purpose workload and a high likelihood for positive touchdown regression, Jones is best viewed as a low-end RB2.
