The Minnesota Vikings had a brutal injury start on Sunday.

Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason were both hurt on the opening drive.

The pair of running backs both left the game during an opening field goal drive for Minnesota.

Jones went to the medical tent first.

While Jones was in the tent, Mason took a helmet to his knee and limped off.

The Vikings' third RB on the day is Zavier Scott.

They also have fullback C.J. Ham.

Both RBs have been announced as questionable to return.

The Vikings are already eliminated from the playoffs, so these injuries are probably as impactful to fantasy football managers as to anything.

It doesn't help J.J. McCarthy keep the offense moving, though, either. 

It'll be interesting to see who does or doesn't come back into the game on the next drive.
