Vikings’ Key Rumors for Week 7
As the Vikings look to improve their record to 4-2, the latest rumors focus on three main figures: running back Aaron Jones, quarterback Max Brosmer, and cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.
Aaron Jones Set to Return
Aaron Jones, the veteran running back, is expected to return to action following a four-game stint on injured reserve. His return is anticipated for October 23, 2024, against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sources have indicated that Jones is “100% ready” for play.
- Matchup: Vikings vs. Chargers

Jones’ presence on the field could provide a much-needed boost to the Vikings’ offense. Despite his absence, Jordan Mason has stepped up, showcasing reliability and speed in his expanded role.
Max Brosmer’s Readiness
Max Brosmer, the rookie quarterback, is also making waves within the organization. His coaches express confidence in his ability to step in as QB1 if needed. Brosmer has shown poise during limited appearances this season, particularly in a notable game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Asante Samuel Jr.’s Potential Signing
Asante Samuel Jr., a promising cornerback currently looking for a team, may find interest from the Vikings. After undergoing neck surgery, he is set to have a CT scan this October to confirm his recovery status. If healthy, he could enhance the Vikings’ defensive lineup significantly.

Samuel Jr. has previously attracted interest from various NFL teams, and a signing with the Vikings is still a possibility, especially given their need for depth at the cornerback position.
As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for their next game, all eyes will be on these developments as they could significantly impact their season moving forward.
