Falcons’ Quinn says injured WR Jones expected back ‘shortly’
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Falcons coach Dan Quinn updated star receiver Julio Jones’ injury as a sprained toe instead of turf toe on Wednesday, putting a more optimistic outlook on the injury.
Jones missed Wednesday’s practice after being held out of last week’s 42-14 win over the Rams. The update reflects the team’s optimism that Jones, who leads the NFL in yards receiving, is not facing an extended absence.
Jones’ status for Sunday’s game against San Francisco remains uncertain.
