The Week 10 status of running back Aaron Jones is up in the air as we head into the weekend.
Jones came down with shoulder and toe issues in Week 9 and popped up on the injury report this week as a result.
Jones did not practice on Wednesday but closed out the week with limited sessions on Thursday and Friday before drawing a questionable tag.
Here's what we know about Jones' chances of suiting up on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Is Aaron Jones playing in Week 10?
Yes, Jones is expected to play despite the questionable tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
"Vikings RB Aaron Jones (questionable, shoulder) is expected to play Sunday vs. Ravens, per sources," Fowler reported.
This tracks with what Jones has been saying all week, as the veteran has been optimistic about his status.
"I do feel good. Continue to take it each day. I still have two days, so I feel like I'll be in a good spot," Jones said on Friday, per ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
Aaron Jones fantasy advice
Jones was on pace to have a monster game in Week 9 before exiting due to injury. He showed he's the clear lead back over Jordan Mason by running through the Lions' defense for 78 yards on nine carries while adding two catches for 20 yards.
This week, Jones draws a juicy matchup against a Ravens team ceding the fifth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season.
We'll call Jones a borderline RB2 play with upside in Week 10.
