Tim Jones has stepped into first-team wide-receiver reps as injuries thin the depth chart. It’s a chance to prove reliability and route-running, potentially shaping Vikings’ WR3 trajectory and whether the team pursues deeper veteran help or leans on Jones and the current depth.

Jones has been part of Minnesota’s WR rotation in camp, providing veteran presence and depth behind Addison, Jefferson and Nailor. His role is likely limited but could be a useful Week 1 depth piece should the top three WRs face restrictions.

Jones led Minnesota receivers with five receptions for 68 yards on Saturday, establishing himself as a trusted target in Brosmer’s arsenal. His consistency and chemistry with Brosmer on practice reps and key drives position him as a stabilizing force in the late stages of camp and potentially into the regular season.

Jones logged several reps and participated in the WR mix, reinforcing the Vikings’ depth options behind Addison and Jefferson. His production in practice adds another layer to the WR picture, particularly in deeper leagues that chase situational depth.

Tim Jones flashed in a 40-yard connection with Max Brosmer, illustrating a tangible step forward for Vikings’ reserve speeds who can stretch the field. His late-camp contributions hint at a potential returner or depth threat role if deeper WR options don’t pan out.
