The Vikings are getting some offensive line depth this week, at least in practice.
On Wednesday, the team announced that center Brett Jones was designated for return from the IR after suffering a knee injury back in November.

Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press notes that while Jones is eligible to practice, he’s not eligible to play in games, so we will not see him in the team’s playoff game on Sunday against the Saints.
#Vikings have designated for return center Brett Jones, who was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 14. He is eligible to practice this week but wouldn't be eligible yet to play Sunday if the Vikings wanted to activate him. He suffered a knee injury in practice Nov. 13.
