Falcons’ playoff injury report: Freeman, Julio Jones and Roberts held out of practice
Running back Devonta Freeman (knee), wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle/ribs) and returner Andre Roberts (knee/ankle) did not practice Tuesday, according to the team’s official injury report.
Freeman and Roberts apparently were injured against the Panthers. Jones took a big hit from Panthers safety Mike Adams in the first quarter, but said he was fine after the game.
“Nothing is broken, nothing is pulled,” Jones said.
Tight end Levine Toilolo (knee) did not play against the Panthers, but returned to practice Tuesday. He was limited.
Center Alex Mack (right calf), wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (right hamstring) and defensive end Adrian Clayborn (calf) were all limited.
With Toilolo out against the Panthers, when the Falcons wanted to run double-tight-end formations, they used tackle Ty Sambrailo as the second tight end.
