In Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, the Vikings lost 22-6 to the Falcons. Minnesota came out of that loss with injuries to its top offensive players. One of them was starting QB J.J. McCarthy.
The other major loss for the Vikings after Week 2 was RB Aaron Jones. He suffered a hamstring injury and has landed on the IR for Minnesota. Backup RB Jordan Mason will now start for the Vikings while Jones misses time. Additionally, NFL insiders announced the team has signed free agent RB Cam Akers. It’s his third stint in three years with the Vikings.
