    \n
  • Game Date<\/b>: Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Lumen Field<\/b> in Seattle<\/li>\n
  • Final Score<\/b>: Seahawks 41<\/b>, 49ers 6 after dominant defensive and offensive performance<\/li>\n
  • Jones Elevation<\/b>: Announced January 17 at 1:15 PM PST<\/b> as third running back depth<\/li>\n
  • Career Background<\/b>: Third-round 2022 Bears draft pick<\/b> with 37 NFL games, exceptional speed athlete<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    A Playoff Opportunity for Velus Jones Jr.<\/h2>\n

    Velus Jones Jr.<\/b> faced a winding career path. The Chicago Bears<\/b> drafted him in 2022<\/b> in the third round. Jones featured exceptional athleticism<\/b> and 99th percentile speed testing<\/b> from college. His journey led him through the New Orleans Saints<\/b> before joining Seattle’s practice squad in October.<\/p>\n

    The 6-foot, 200-pound playmaker<\/b> appeared in three games during the regular season. He carried four times for 32 yards<\/b> while seeing opportunities on both offense and special teams. Saturday’s elevation gave him a chance at playoff football when it matters most.<\/p>\n

    Kenneth Walker III Leads Seahawks Rushing Attack<\/h2>\n

    Kenneth Walker III<\/b> anchored Seattle’s ground game throughout the season. The dynamic back rushed 221 times for 1,027 yards<\/b> and caught 31 of 36 targets<\/b> for 282 receiving yards<\/b>. Walker’s explosive running style powered the no. 1 seed offense all year.<\/p>\n

    Zach Charbonnet<\/b> served as the complementary back, carrying 184 times<\/b> for significant yardage. The two-back committee gave Seattle versatility and durability. Both backs will be critical for the NFC Championship Game<\/b> against the Los Angeles Rams<\/b> on January 25.<\/p>\n

    Seahawks Dominate 49ers in Divisional Round Blowout<\/h2>\n

    The Seahawks<\/b> made an immediate statement against San Francisco. Rashid Shaheed<\/b> returned the opening kick 95 yards<\/b> for a touchdown just 13 seconds<\/b> into the game. Seattle’s defense suffocated the 49ers offense<\/b> throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    “The Seahawks elevated running back Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad on Saturday, adding running back depth ahead of their divisional round playoff game against the 49ers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \u2014 Seattle Seahawks Official<\/b>, January 17, 2026<\/p>\n

    Building Depth for the Championship Push<\/h2>\n

    Practice squad elevations are critical in the playoffs. Teams use them tactically to add depth<\/b> at crucial positions. Jones’ elevation<\/b> signaled the Seahawks<\/b> commitment to backfield depth<\/b> during their playoff run. With Walker<\/b> and Charbonnet<\/b> leading the charge, Jones provided insurance.<\/p>\n

    Running back injuries happen fast in football. Having a third option<\/b> with speed and athleticism<\/b> became essential as Seattle aimed for a Super Bowl run<\/b>. The elevation required no salary cap impact while improving tactical options.<\/p>\n

    Can Seattle’s Dominant Offense Continue Against Los Angeles?<\/h2>\n

    The 41-point victory<\/b> over San Francisco demonstrated Seattle’s explosive ceiling. No. 1 seed Seahawks<\/b> face the Rams<\/b> next, a team they know well from the NFC West<\/b>. Will Seattle’s rushing offense maintain this dominance? The Rams’ defense<\/b> presents a stiffer challenge than the beleaguered 49ers offense<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Velus Jones Jr.’s<\/b> playoff opportunity came at the perfect moment. He joined a team peaking at the right time, with playoff momentum<\/b> building heading into championship week. The NFC Championship Game kicks off January 25<\/b> with everything on the line.<\/p>\n
