**Vikings' Aaron Jones Sidelined by Hip Injury Against Jets in London**

During Sunday's game in London against the Jets, the Minnesota Vikings suffered a setback as their running back Aaron Jones exited the field due to a hip injury. Jones, who was initially labeled questionable for return, was officially ruled out at halftime.

Before his injury, Jones managed to contribute seven carries for 29 yards and a catch for 24 yards. His absence was felt, particularly during the Vikings' initial drive of the second half. Ty Chandler and Myles Gaskin, who stepped in for Jones, struggled to make significant headway, with Chandler only managing a single yard rushing and another yard on a reception before the team had to punt.

Despite the loss of Jones, the Vikings maintained their lead over the Jets, holding a 17-7 advantage as the game progressed. It remains to be seen how the team will adjust to the absence of their key running back in the coming games.
