Injury report: Julio Jones has turf toe

Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews (sprained left knee), wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (groin) and Julio Jones (turf toe) are all expected to return to practice this week, coach Dan Quinn said on Monday.

“Matthews had a knee sprain,” Quinn said. “He won’t practice on Wednesday and we’ll take a look and see where he will go on Thursday and see if he will be able to participate in the game. For Sanu, it was a groin strain and Julio had a turf toe injury. Hopefully, he’s short-time and we’ll get a chance to see what he looks like on Wednesday.

“The other two will be out Wednesday, but we don’t know about Julio yet.”
