Jones, Moore back at practice, probable for Giants
FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, who missed the two previous days of practice with a hamstring injury, was running routes and catching passes during the open portion of practice on Friday.
Also, safety William Moore, who missed practice with an illness on Thursday, was back at practice. Both fully participated.
Jones and Moore were listed as probable on the official injury report for the game against the New York Giants at 1 p.m. Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Jones suffered the injury during the Falcons’ 26-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. Jones returned to the action after feeling some tightness in his leg.
Returner Devin Hester (turf toe), defensive end Malliciah Goodman (triceps), linebacker Brooks Reed (groin surgery) were declared out for the game.
Jones had nine catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles.
Defensive end Adrian Clayborn (thumb), tackle Jake Matthews (back), linebacker O’Brien Schofield (hip) all fully participated in practice and were declared probable for the game.
“Everybody did full work and we’re ready to rock,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said.
