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.
Ben Ellefson 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.
