The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was elevated for the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, but ended up inactive on game day as the Seahawks chose Cam Akers to be the No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and George Holani. A similar fate is likely in store for Jones this Sunday as the Seahawks take on the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Jones and Cam Akers were both elevated from the practice squad to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday. However, it will be the latter that 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.

The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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.
