Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), safety Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) and center Alex Mack (rest day) did not practice on Thursday, according to the team’s official injury report.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn is holding out hope that Jones can still play on Sunday when the Falcons (0-4) host the Carolina Panthers (2-2) at 1 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“He’s definitely making progress, but until he’s able to fully explode and do his thing, we’ll choose the best interests for him, which is the best interest for the team as well, and make sure that he’s a 100 percent ready to get rocking,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He’s somebody that heals fast and he certainly know his body really well.”
