Offensive Coordinator Wes Phillips on the #Vikings run game https://t.co/Mkfa261nbJ Via @Vikings on X

What happened: Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Wes Phillips addressed the state of the team's ground game during Tuesday's media session. The discussion follows Minnesota's victory over the Indianapolis Colts to remain undefeated on the regular season.

Why it matters: Minnesota's backfield rotation is shifting with the planned activation of running back Jordan Mason from injured reserve to pair with Aaron Jones Sr. The Vikings have also been linked alongside the Seahawks, Broncos, and Packers as potential suitors for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the trade deadline while holding the top seed in the conference.

What to watch: Minnesota continues regular-season preparations this week as the coaching staff works Mason back into the offensive rotation.
