#Vikings place Jordan Mason on IR, signed DeeJay Dallas to 53, signed Jerome Ford to practice squad
33 more updatesfrom 21 sources
- 3d Andrew Krammer (Bluesky) Jordan Mason expected to return for Oct. 25 vs Indianapolis ... four other veterans limited in Wednesday's practice
- 3d Ben Goessling (Bluesky) Even though they trailed for much of Sunday’s game against the Packers, the #Vikings still ran the ball 58 percent of the time. Their commitment to the run game will have to continue without Jordan Mason for at least a few weeks, starting this Sunday in Chicago: youtu.be/C_B3U8anax4?...
- 3d Will Ragatz (X) Will be interesting to see how the Vikings' RB room shakes out with no Jordan Mason. Aaron Jones is the obvious starter, but who mixes in behind him? Everything you need to know about DeeJay Dallas, Demond Claiborne, and Jerome Ford:
- 3d Will Ragatz (X) The Vikings signed RB DeeJay Dallas from the practice squad to their active roster today. I'm not entirely sure why his official roster headshot looks like he saw a ghost in the room.
- 3d Andrew Krammer (Bluesky) O'Connell: Aaron Jones is going to be "heavily, heavily involved" w/o Mason ... DeeJay Dallas "will probably see an even more increased role" On Ford: "A veteran player, a guy we've been monitoring for a while now. He's healthy now." · Quoting Andrew Krammer: Vikings placing RB Jordan Mason on injured reserve with a designation to return. He's out at least four games due to a "small fracture" in his thumb, Kevin O'Connell said today. RB DeeJay Dallas promoted to the 53. RB Jerome Ford signed to the practice squad. Ford among 3 tryout RBs this week.

- 3d Will Ragatz (X) Kevin O'Connell with very high praise for Dallas Turner: "He's always (had) the physical talent. So gifted athletically. Strength, his ability to use his length as a rusher. Slowly and surely sometimes at that position, it happens. When he first got here, he had two Pro Bowlers in the same position group. It's not like you can say 'Hey, we're gonna throw him in there at a different spot.' That's not great for his development, to help him get to where I believe he is now. I do believe he's maximized his offseason. He's maximized his comfort in the defense. Flo and his staff have done a phenomenal job pinpointing how to activate him as one of our real impact players. And then he's following it up with a toolbox and a skillset now, to be hard to block 1 on 1. He's hard to block within our scheme, where people are obviously concerned about pressure. And then it's his comfort level of applying the techniques and his athleticism in those moments that's so exciting. I've seen it…

- Vikings have roster juggling to do if they want to elevate RB Jerome Ford, too, w/ QB Max Brosmer and OLB Kyle Van Noy expected to be elevated if not signed to the 53
- My confidence in the Vikings this week is fairly low without Murray/Mason/Jennings, and with a shaky secondary going against Williams/Johnson. But anything can happen, and rain could be an interesting equalizer. The big thing about winning last week is the Vikings could lose this one and still have a good chance to be 3-2 or even 4-1 at the bye.
