Cornerback Kendall Sheffield (foot) and safety Ricardo Allen (elbow) were declared out of the game against the Bears at 1 p.m. Sunday, and wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and Dante Fowler (ankle) will be game-time decisions and were listed as questionable on the official injury report Friday.
“With all the guys, (Fowler) will get some work today. I just really want to see get-off and change of direction,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said earlier Friday. “He and a couple of others I’ll watch today.”
Jones did not practice all week.
“Kind of in the same space with him to see it all the way up to until our time on the day of the game,” Quinn said. “He has the rare ability to do that when called upon if he’s available. We’ll give him and a couple of others all the time and space that they need to see what it could look like. The only way we’ll do it is that he’s ready to do his thing. We’ll take it all the was up to the game with Julio.”
