Seahawks' Velus Jones: Inactive for NFC Championship
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.
Jones and Cam Akers were both elevated from the practice squad to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday. However, it will be the latter who joins George Holani as the team's backup running backs behind Kenneth Walker for Sunday's playoff contest while Jones observes the game in street clothes.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Reverts to Seattle's practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones and Cam Akers were both elevated to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday, though the former ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams. Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8 will be Jones' last opportunity to be elevated to Seattle's active roster this season.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated to active roster
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jones will join George Holani and Cam Akers as a backup to Kenneth Walker for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams. The elevation likely comes due to the absence of Zach Charbonnet (ACL), who suffered a season-ending injury in last Saturday's win over the 49ers. The 28-year-old Jones has played just 20 offensive snaps this year, with 11 coming in last week's win.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Back to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones played 16 snaps (11 on offense, five on special teams) during the Seahawks' 41-6 win over the 49ers during Saturday's NFC divisional-round game. He logged six carries for 10 yards, all of which came late in the fourth quarter in garbage time. Jones could have an elevated role in the Seahawks' offense for the NFC Championship Game against the Rams this Sunday after Zach Charbonnet likely tore his ACL against San Francisco, though George Holani (hamstring) could be activated from injured reserve this week to provide depth in the backfield.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: May be headed for larger role
Jones could take on an elevated role in Seattle's backfield after Zach Charbonnet suffered an ACL tear in Saturday's divisional-round win over San Francisco, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Charbonnet's postseason is over due to the injury, leaving Kenneth Walker alone atop the Seahawks' RB pecking order. The duo of Walker and Charbonnet consistently shared the backfield in a near-even split during the regular season, but chances are Walker will be tasked with taking a higher percentage of handoffs with Charbonnet out of the picture. Nonetheless, there's now an opportunity for another RB to make an impact as Walker's backup, and Jones certainly figures to be in the mix. He was elevated ahead of Saturday's victory and served as the team's third RB against the 49ers, carrying six times for 10 yards. It was just the second time this season that Jones logged any carries during a contest, but the only other healthy running back currently on Seattle's roster or practice squad is Cam Akers.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated from practice squad
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of their divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Jones was elevated three times during the regular season and carried the ball four times for 32 yards while seeing playing time on both offense and special teams. The 28-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet during Saturday's game.

Velus Jones: Reverts to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Jones was elevated for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts, failing to record any stats while playing one offensive snap and 20 snaps on special teams. The running back will now need to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game this season.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated for third straight
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
This marks Jones' third consecutive elevation. He's worked almost exclusively on special teams, though he did earn four carries in Seattle's blowout win in Week 14.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Goes back to practice squad
Jones reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones was elevated from the practice squad each of the past two weeks. He logged six of 62 offensive snaps Sunday against Tampa Bay and carried four times for 32 yards while also recording 16 snaps on special teams. Jones' offensive work Sunday came entirely in garbage time with the Seahawks holding a big lead, and he doesn't figure to be a big part of the offense in future games for which he's active unless there are injuries ahead of him in the RB pecking order.

Seahawks' Velus Jones: Elevated for Week 14
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Jones will be elevated for the second consecutive week after playing 17 special teams snaps for the Seahawks in their Week 13 win over the Vikings. The running back was not a participant in the Seahawks offense, and with Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet, and Cam Akers all healthy, that is unlikely to change this Sunday. Jones can be elevated one more time before he would have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Velus Jones: Returns to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Jones was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings, most notably downing a punt from Michael Dickson in the fourth quarter. The running back didn't record any additional stats over his 17 snaps with the special-teams unit in the game. Jones can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Velus Jones: Finds work in Seattle
The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The 2022 third-round pick from Tennessee was dropped from the Saints' active roster on Oct. 24, but he's already found a new home in Seattle. Jones appeared in five games for the Saints this season, recording 183 kick-return yards across 76 total snaps (74 on special teams, two on offense). Now with the Seahawks, he could be elevated to the active roster at some point this season as a return man.

Velus Jones: Cut by New Orleans
The Saints waived Jones on Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Friday marks the second time this season that the Saints have cut Jones from the active roster, with the most recent move corresponding with New Orleans claiming tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden off waivers from the Ravens. Jones could remain in New Orleans as a member of the team's practice squad, though the Saints already have a running back on the scout team in Audric Estime. Jones played for the Saints in their first five games of the regular season, and he accumulated 183 yards on eight kickoff returns over that span.

Saints' Velus Jones: Back on active roster
The Saints signed Jones from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.
Jones was on New Orleans' active roster for the first five weeks of the campaign before being waived Oct. 7. He then signed to the team's practice squad, and he'll now return to the active roster in the wake of Kendre Miller's season-ending knee injury. When Jones was on the roster earlier in the campaign, he played almost exclusively on special teams, notching just two offensive snaps but racking up 183 kick-return yards. He may get a few more opportunities on offense moving forward but figures to still be third in the RB pecking order behind Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal.

Velus Jones: Returns via practice squad
