Aaron Jones is likely to be considered day-to-day.

The Vikings don't believe the injury is considered serious, and the day to day tag gives him a shot to play in Week 14. If he can't go, Mason will see more work. Owners counting on Jones will want to monitor the injury report this week. The Vikings have an early Sunday game at home against the Commanders in Week 14.

The Minnesota Vikings could go from one struggling young quarterback to another this week.

J.J. McCarthy could be cleared from the concussion protocol as soon as Monday, coach Kevin O'Connell said Sunday, and he would be in line to start the Vikings' Week 14 game against the Washington Commanders.

O'Connell said McCarthy is still in protocol, but said the team will see how he does on Tuesday. The hype around Brosmer was real heading into last Week 13, but the rookie threw four INTs as the Vikings were shutout 26-0 vs. Seattle. It was the first time the Vikings have been shut out since Week 17 of the 2007 season. Their 305-game streak since then, including the regular season and playoffs, was the third-longest active streak in the NFL, the story said.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles said “it's a possibility” that Mike Evans could return to practice this week.

The Bucs are slowly getting their weapons back on offense as Godwin was more involved this past week. The team also saw the return of running back Bucky Irving. Evans broke his collarbone in Week 7. Evans' return would put the Bucs at full strength at WR with Egbuka and Godwin forming the team's top-three. Evans' return would also hurt the fantasy value of Johnson and Shepard.
