Julio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), who aggravated his injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, did not practice on Wednesday. While the veteran Jones often misses practice and plays through nagging injuries, this is one to keep a close eye on the rest of the week leading up to Week 3 against the Bears. The All-Pro pass-catcher had just two receptions last week and will be facing a stingy Bears Defense if he plays, and he would likely be at less than 100 percent. Jones is a must-start WR1 each and every week, but he's become riskier. If he is forced to rest, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage would see more targets from quarterback Matt Ryan.
