Falcons All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones is not planning to immediately have surgery on his toe.

“I don’t know yet,” Jones said on Tuesday. “I just have to follow up with the doctors and see. That will be next month.”

Jones played the last quarter of the regular season and playoffs with sprain toe that was initially called a turf toe injury.

“I’m just relaxing right now, not trying to press it and go and have surgery right away,” Jones said. “I’m just waiting right now to see if it will heal up and see what happens.”
