Turf toe sucks. I lost a big toenail because of turf toe. It takes forever to get it right again.

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones hopes to return to practice Thursday as he recovers from what the team has reclassified from a hip injury to a right hamstring injury.

Jones did not participate in the Vikings' full-pads practice Wednesday. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has been noncommittal about Jones' availability for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.

"Aaron is going to progress throughout the week and hopefully has a chance to go on Sunday," O'Connell said.

Jones said he first began feeling tightness in his right hip during pregame warmups prior to the Vikings' Week 5 game against the New York Jets in London. It loosened prior to kickoff, but he felt it again after making a leaping grab of a 23-yard pass from backup quarterback Nick Mullens on the Vikings' second possession of the game.

"That play really kind of did it," Jones said. He took two more carries after that play before the team's medical staff decided to pull him from the game.

"They said, 'We don't want you to go out there and hurt yourself any further,'" Jones said.

If Jones can't play against the Lions, backup Ty Chandler will start. The Vikings also reacquired running back Cam Akers from the Houston Texans this week, and Akers should be available against the Lions as well.

...and it seems like one would be very susceptible to reinjury if not completely healed.

Reasons Jones will be out an additional week or two:

- KOCs comment was non-committal, but he's not good at lying.
- With this regime, much of the time players are out a lot longer than the initial prognosis.
- They need to be careful with the injury.
- Akers trade (practically a give away).

As an aside, Akers isn't quite like Fernando Smith who Denny brought back twice, but he's getting there.

Glad to have Akers back. But this means…Jones is out for a long time, right?

Probably not.

More like a lack of faith in Chandler and knowing Jones is prone to missing time.

It’s the Vikings. I always assume the worst.

I think he is a big improvement over Gaskin and with Chandler and Jones; depth is needed.

According to Doogie the Vikes also had dialog with the Bears on Kyrie Herbert.
