Vikings, Ravens Activate Key Players From Injury Lists

The Minnesota Vikings are set to activate running back Aaron Jones from injured reserve ahead of their Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones, who missed the last four games due to a hamstring injury, has had a productive career including a Pro Bowl selection and strong performances with both the Packers and Vikings. Despite limited action this season, Jones remains a key offensive player for Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens have activated rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones from the reserve/non-football injury list after recovering from shoulder surgery sustained prior to the 2025 NFL Draft. Emery Jones, a third-round pick from LSU, is expected to provide depth on the offensive line, potentially filling roles at both tackle and guard to improve the Ravens' line performance. His activation offers the Ravens a promising younger option to strengthen their offensive front as they prepare for upcoming games.
