Jordan Mason Health, Injury Updates & History

Will make his return to the field Week 7.

Mason is targeting a Week 7 return against Indianapolis after undergoing thumb surgery following Minnesota's season-opening win over Green Bay, the Vikings running back has already completed the minimum four-game injured reserve absence and will benefit from the team's Week 6 bye, with a potential return to practice expected next week if his recovery continues progressing

Mason was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair a small thumb fracture suffered in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Packers, the running back will miss at least four games, though head coach Kevin O'Connell does not expect the injury to keep him out beyond the minimum IR window

Recovered from the right ankle injury that ended his 2025 season. Mason participated without restrictions throughout the Vikings' offseason program and enters training camp healthy with no reported lingering concerns. The ankle injury appears to be an isolated issue and is not expected to affect his role alongside Aaron Jones in Minnesota's backfield.

Expected to start on Sunday vs the Packers

Has been ruled out for their Christmas day game as he was unable to practice all week with an ankle injury

Hasn't been able to practice at all this week due to the ankle injury he suffered on Sunday, considering the short week it seems unlikely that he suits up on Christmas

Exited today's game in the first half with an ankle injury and was subsequently ruled out for the game

A high ankle sprain at the end of the season in week 14 cut Mason’s year short. During OTAs in early June, he appeared fully healthy and should be a full go at the start of camp this season.

Placed on IR with a high ankle injury sustained in W13 in Buffalo, he will miss at least the next four games while Christian McCaffrey will also miss time with a PCL injury, this could severely hamper the 49ers chances of making the playoffs and that could determine the course of action for their return
