Activated from IR
Ellefson was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.
Analysis: The tight end was placed on IR in late October with both a foot and knee injuries, and he'll finally return in Week 18 after missing 11 games. In four games this season with the VIkings, Ellefson has operated mostly as a non-factor on offense, failing to reel in his only target.

Designated to return
Ellefson (foot/knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Ellefson spent just over two months on injured reserve due to foot and knee injuries, but he returned to practice Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play in either of the final two games of the regular season.

Moves to injured reserve
Ellefson (foot/knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Eric Smith of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Ellefson was a limited participant at Wednesady's practice due to the foot and knee issue, so it's somewhat of a surprise to see him shift to injured reserve a day later. Tyler Conklin and Chris Herndon are now the only available tight ends on Minnesota's active roster.

Dealing with pair of injuries
The Vikings listed Elleferson as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with knee and foot injuries, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Coming off a Week 7 bye, Ellefson apparently isn't fully healthy. So long as he's able to upgrade to full activity by Friday, though, Ellefson should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's appeared in four games for the Vikings, drawing only one target across 71 offensive snaps.

Leaves practice early
Ellefson left practice early Wednesday with an apparent knee injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Ellefson previously sat out the Vikings' Week 6 game against the Panthers with a knee injury, so it's possible he aggravated the issue in the team's first practice following a Week 7 bye. If he's able to shake off the injury in time for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Ellefson will likely be limited to a blocking role for Minnesota.

Sidelined for Week 6
Ellefson (knee) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.
Analysis: Ellefson wasn't able to practice at all ahead of Week 6, so his lack of availability shouldn't be a surprise. The 6-foot-3 tight end will have the bye week to get healthy before Minnesota returns to action against the Cowboys on Oct. 31.

Quick recovery from neck injury
Ellefson (neck) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Ellefson missed Thursday's practice due to a neck injury but recovered quickly enough to avoid being on Friday's injury report altogether. The reserve tight end has been used exclusively in a blocking role thus far, as he's yet to have a ball thrown his way this season.

Unable to practice
Ellefson (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Ellefson wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, so it's concerning that this issue popped up midweek. Meanwhile, Tyler Conklin (elbow/glute) was a limited participant, leaving Chris Herndon as the only healthy tight end for the Vikings. Ellefson and Conklin will look to elevate their participation Friday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Claimed by Minnesota
Ellefson was claimed off waivers by the Vikings on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Ellefson was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday, but he'll have a spot on the Vikings' season-opening roster. The 2020 UDFA appeared in seven games for Jacksonville as a rookie and caught one pass for 10 yards.

Waived by Jacksonville
The Jaguars waived Ellefson on Tuesday.
Analysis: Ellefson appeared in seven games -- catching one of four targets for 10 yards -- before landing on injured reserve during his rookie season. The 24-year-old is a likely candidate to join the Jaguars' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Heads to IR
Ellefson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Ellefson had already been declared out for Week 13, and he'll be required to miss at least two more games before returning to the lineup. The Jaguars appear ready to carry four tight ends moving forward: Tyler Eifert, James O'Shaughnessy, Eric Saubert and Tyler Davis.

Out with knee injury
Ellefson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Ellefson has averaged about 20 offensive snaps over the past four games but won't be available for Week 13. Eric Saubert should operate as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Tyler Eifert and James O'Shaughnessy.

Catches first pass
Ellefson caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The 24-year-old tied a season high with 26 offensive snaps and also secured his first NFL reception during the blowout defeat. Ellefson could play a similar role as long as James O'Shaughnessy (knee) remains sidelined, but it's unlikely he makes his way to fantasy relevance.

Joins active roster
The Jaguars promoted Ellefson to the active roster from the practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Jacksonville also activated Ellefson from practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday, prior to moving him to the 53-man roster. The rookie out of North Dakota State previously appeared in game-action Week 1 versus the Colts, but he's still vying for his first career target.

Shuffles to COVID list
The Jaguars placed Ellefson on the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday.
Analysis: Ellefson has either contracted the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. The North Dakota State product will need to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities.

Drops to practice roster
Ellefson reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: The undrafted tight end made his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Colts, and he logged 13 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted on any of Gardner Minshew's 20 passes. Ellefson could be activated again for Week 2 if Tyler Davis (knee) is unavailable.

Added to active roster
Ellefson was added to Jacksonville's active roster Saturday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ellefson signed with the team as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 draft. While he was waived and added to the practice squad, Tyler Davis' knee injury will give Ellefson the chance to serve as depth among the team's tight end corps.

Shifts to practice roster
Ellefson cleared waivers Sunday and signed with the Jaguars' practice squad, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As an undrafted free agent with no preseason games, Ellefson was unable to lock down a roster spot. The North Dakota State product will continue to hone his craft on the practice squad while Tyler Eifert and James O'Shaughnessy handle the tight-end reps.
