Julio Jones early-morning injury update

The Los Angeles bid committee for the 2024 Olympics is projecting a $5.3 billion budget, a number that would be less than half the cost of the recently completed Rio de Janeiro Games and about a quarter of where Tokyo’s ballooning budget for 2020 currently stands. Bid officials say they can do this because more than 30 venues already exist and those that don’t will be built as temporary structures. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)

Falcons All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones, after not practicing all week with a turf toe injury, went through the team’s walk-through practice on Saturday and will be a game-time decision later Sunday.

The Falcons (7-5) are set to face the Los Angeles Rams (4-8) at 4:25 p.m. at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Jones, who has 72 catches and leads the league in yards receiving with 1,253 yards, will test out the injury during warm-ups before a decision is made about his availability.

“Sunday we’ll let him go out and run some full-speed routes, go through the process,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Friday. “It’s not the catching. We just want to see the full speed routes. That’s what the plan is. His intent is right to go out and play. We are anticipating that, but we’ll see where it goes on Sunday morning.”
