Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has not seen the field since Week 1’s victory against the Green Bay Packers, where he rushed for 59 yards off of 15 carries and scored 1 rushing touchdown.
A thumb fracture sustained in-game forced him onto injured reserve for the mandatory four-game spell, and after the team took their bye-week in Week 6, the former San Francisco 49ers running back has now been designated to return, per the team’s transaction wire on Monday.
The Vikings have officially designated RB Jordan Mason to return from IR. He’ll return to practice Wednesday. A big boost for the run game. Should take some of the load off of Aaron Jones, who has been a warrior in Mason’s absence.
