Falcons Optimistic About Having Julio Jones
Julio Jones (shoulder) has a chance to suit up on Thanksgiving night. The team is "optimistic" about having Jones on the field for their Thanksgiving clash with the division rival New Orleans Saints. If healthy, Jones will face off with cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), who is expected to play. That matchup will downgrade Jones slightly, especially if he's not at full strength, considering Lattimore held him to three catches for 79 yards in Week 10. Still, Jones is a must-start despite his recent slump, considering that he's averaged 9.1 targets and six catches for 92.6 yards in 16 career games against New Orleans.
