Falcons’ Julio Jones back at practice Friday
Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, who has a calf injury, was limited at practice Friday, per the team’s official injury report.
The Falcons (1-1) are set to play the Saints (1-1) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (calf), running back Devonta Freeman (knee), defensive end Derrick Shelby (calf) and linebacker Corey Nelson (calf) will declared out for the game.
McKinley was limited in practice.
“Julio did more than Takk,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He did quite a bit. He went from the walk through and into some of the routes. He did run them full speed. There were 10 or 12 of them where wanted to see him really go full speed....Takk was able to some things, but not full speed.”
