Jones reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 5 win over New Orleans and caught his only target for 32 yards on six offensive snaps. He also logged 11 snaps on special teams and recovered a fumble on kick coverage. Jones' opportunity was partly a result of Jordan Addison (hamstring) being inactive and Odell Beckham being a healthy scratch, so there's no guarantee that Jones will be elevated again Week 7 versus Indianapolis following Minnesota's Week 6 bye.

Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Elevated for Week 18
Rotowire
The Vikings elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.
Jones will draw his first elevation of the season in Week 18. With Myles Price (ankle) ruled out ahead of the divisional contest, Jones will slot in as the No. 5 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor and Tai Felton. Price is also the only listed punt returner on the Vikings' depth chart, so Jones could potentially see snaps at the position if it is not dominated by Ty Chandler or Felton.
