What happened: Aaron Jones is missing Wednesday's practice as he manages a knee issue. The Minnesota running back sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of a Week 2 win against Chicago.

Why it matters: His uncertain availability tests the team's backfield depth as they prepare for a matchup against Tampa Bay. Head coach Kevin O'Connell noted the veteran was sore following the recent victory.

By the numbers: Jones logged 23 carries for 105 yards in the Week 2 game despite the fourth-quarter exit.

What to watch: His participation in Thursday and Friday sessions will clarify his status for the weekend.
