Highlighted by the return of wide receiver Julio Jones and cornerback Kendall Sheffield, the Falcons had a glowing injury report Thursday.

After playing the Bears with six starters out, the Falcons (0-3) are set to face the Packers (3-0) at 8:15 p.m. Monday at Lambeau Field.

It wasn’t all good news as five defensive starters, including Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Grady Jarrett (hip), did not practice.

Sheffield, who had a foot injury, has been out since the middle of August.

Also, right tackle Kaleb McGary, who missed the Bears game with a strained knee, returned to practice.
