Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has officially been ruled out of today’s matchup due to an ankle injury he suffered during the first half of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Mason exited the contest early after sustaining the injury on Minnesota’s opening offensive series and was carted to the locker room, signaling a potentially serious issue. With the Vikings already dealing with injuries in the backfield, Mason’s absence is a significant blow to Minnesota’s ground attack.
Jordan Mason, 26, has flashed productivity during his NFL career but has dealt with some injury setbacks, most notably a high-ankle sprain in the 2024 season while with the San Francisco 49ers, an injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve and ended his year early after cutting short what had been a strong stretch of play. Mason entered the 2025 season appearing fully healthy following that ankle recovery, which makes today’s ankle injury and subsequent ruling out of the game particularly concerning given his prior lower-leg history.
The severity of Mason’s ankle injury remains unclear as of this writing. If it involves ligament damage or a high-ankle component, historically a tougher injury for running backs to overcome quickly, his availability in the coming weeks could be in jeopardy. The Vikings will provide further updates following additional imaging and evaluation. In the meantime, Minnesota’s rushing offense will have to adapt without one of its key contributors.
