Jones (knee) returned to Sunday's contest in New Orleans, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Jones spent some time out of the Vikings' Week 5 matchup in the first half due to a left knee injury, but he seemingly will attempt to play through the pain Sunday. If Jones needs to cede any reps to the rest of the team's backfield, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne are on hand to spell the veteran.
