The Vikings may not be getting quarterback J.J. McCarthy back on the field quite yet, but the team can expect to have running back Aaron Jones play in Thursday night's primetime matchup vs. the Chargers, Amazon Prime broadcaster's Kirk Herbstreit reported.
Jones has missed Minnesota's last four contests after he landed on the injured reserve list with a high ankle sprain following the team's Week 2 game. The Vikings designated him to return on Tuesday, so it was expected Jones would play on Thursday night.
