March 1, 2017Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is still contemplating having offseason surgery on his foot that slowed him last season.
“He’s going to visit with the docs again coming up next week,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday. “We’ll make a determination after that. It hasn’t been determined when or if (he’ll have surgery) at this point. But it’s something that he is definitely going to consider.”
