Falcons coach Dan Quinn expects center Alex Mack and wide receiver Julio Jones to ramp up their work in practice over the next two days.

Mack suffered an injury left ankle in the NFC Championship game and Julio Jones has a sprained toe injury. Both were limited in practice Monday.

“Julio looked great,” Quinn said Tuesday. “So for him to get rolling just like he did, you could feel his intent, you could feel the energy.

“For Alex, it’s important for him to get moving and to feel that he can participate like he could. Both of them will ramp up their work over the next two days.”
