The Jets’ defense stifled the Vikings on Sunday as they faced off in London. The offense has relied heavily on the run game this year, specifically Aaron Jones.
Unfortunately for the Vikings, Jones left the first quarter of the game with a hip injury. After being evaluated and tested on the sideline, he will not be returning to the game.
Jones had been averaging 116 total yards of offense through the first four weeks of the season. He was an explosive part of their offense, but now that workload will fall on Myles Gaskin and Ty Chandler.
Chandler has been running well this year when given the chance, so his earning more reps in this game could tell us how things will go without Jones.
Thankfully for Jones and the Vikings, the team has a bye week in Week 6, so he will have ample time to recover if anything serious happens.
