    Update (Monday, 11:02 AM ET): Vikings RB Aaron Jones' knee injury is not considered significant at this time, and a source described him as "day to day," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Vikings RB Aaron Jones will have an MRI on his knee Monday, with the hope being that it won't be a long-term injury, according to Pro Football Talk.

    Our Take: Good news for a Vikings team we called "so difficult to trust" despite its 6-0 record. Minnesota has the Lions, Bills, Packers and 49ers in its next four games, and it now has the toughest remaining slate in our NFL strength of schedule rankings, so getting Jones back quickly matters.
