Considering the physical nature of the NFL, it is quite normal for athletes to sustain injuries. However, despite the pain being a part and parcel of the high-octane action, fans often get worried. Especially when it comes to their favorite athletes. Likewise, in their recent game against the Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings’ star RB, Aaron Jones gave his fans quite the scare. Being carted off the field, speculations grew about how serious Jones’ injury was. Thankfully, putting an end to the somber talks, the star QB explained the entire situation.
How Serious Is The Injury Of Aaron Jones?
Playing against the Jaguars, Aaron Jones took a nasty hit on his chest during the third quarter of the game. Going for the ball, the Vikings’ RB clashed with Ventrell Miller, which sent Jones rolling onto the ground. While the medics rushed to attend Jones, he clutched his chest and seemed to be in significant discomfort. The medics soon carted Jones off the field, which kicked off speculations about his health.
Thankfully, Jones revealed recently on the Up & Adams show that he was perfectly alright. Speaking with Kay Adams, the Vikings’ QB stated, “The only reason I got carted off was because the X-ray machine was on the other side of the stadium.” This came as a huge sigh of relief for the fans as Jones’ absence would have caused significant problems being a crucial member of the side.
Thankfully, everything turned out to work out just the way Jones had imagined. Despite his injury scare, the Vikings managed to edge out the Jaguars 12-7. And well, there’s a particular ritual that Jones follows that might play a part in keeping him safe in the games.
What Ritual Does Aaron Jones Follow?
Aaron Jones is not only a great athlete but is also a good human being. On being asked about his post game rituals, Jones revealed a heartwarming gesture. Catching up with an NBC postgame crew, Jones said, “I have. Matter of fact, today, you said I always wear the (purple) sombrero, I left it in the locker room at TCO so I ran over there right before I had to be here, 20 minutes…I normally put flowers in Khyree Jackson’s locker, so I walked by, I see the flowers and I’m the only one in there.”

For the uninitiated, Khyree Jackson was Vikings’ fourth-round pick this year. In the most unfortunate matter, Jackson tragically lost his life in a car crash this July. Remembering his friend, Jones stated, “I just had a moment with him, told him tonight’s for him, and then when I got here, warming up, I turned and see his parents. His parents were here, I shared that story with them, and then go in the locker room and I got a gift from a military soldier sitting in my locker.” Thus, turning out to be quite a character, it remains to be seen how Jones paces his career from henceforth.
