Jones's age 31 and injury history create Vikings backfield depth concerns.

Jones is the Vikings' lead back at age 31. Christopher Gates notes he managed to play all 17 games last season but has shown a propensity for getting banged up. Dave Stefano emphasizes the Vikings' backfield depth concern: if Jones or Jordan Mason goes down for multiple weeks, the next man up is rookie Claiborne plus fullback Bredeson, which is not an ideal contingency.
