Injury report: Julio Jones to return vs. Vikings

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, who was limited in practice with a hamstring injury and not listed on Friday’s official pregame injury report, is set to return against the Vikings on Sunday.

Jones has missed two games (Chicago, Carolina). He had nine catches for 157 yards in the season opener against Seattle. He was slowed against Dallas and was used as a decoy. He caught two passes for 24 yards and dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass from wide receiver Russell Gage on a gadget play.

Jones didn’t play against the Chicago Bears and left the game after the first half against Green Bay. He caught four passes for 32 yards against the Packers, but did not play in the second half.

Safety Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) and defensive end Takk McKinley (groin) were declared out of the game. Also, defensive end John Cominsky (illness, not COVID-19 related) was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, scheduled for 1 p.m. at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
