Two-time Falcons All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones, who’s recovering from offseason foot surgery, apparently is working through some issues with his surgically repaired foot although he looked fine in pass-catching drills during the first practice of training camp Thursday.

Jones was jumping to make some catches and didn’t appear to have any problems with his foot after landing.

“(Julio Jones) has communicated to me over the summer the running that he’s done, so I think he felt good on most of his cuts,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He’s such a specific guy that there’s certain things that may bother him. ... When we can get him in the team stuff, we will.”
