FLOWERY BRANCH—Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, running back Steven Jackson and fullback Patrick DiMarco returned to practice on Friday after missing time because of illness.
The Falcons listed all three players as probable to play against the Browns on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
Jones had missed two days of practice while Jackson and DiMarco sat out on Thursday. Coach Mike Smith said the illness was contained to those three players.
Jones said he’s “100 percent now” following Friday’s practice. He said he attended meetings for his position group on the days he didn’t practice.
Cornerback Robert Alford (wrist) and tackle Jonathan Scott (hamstring) were both declared out for the Browns game. Alford, who suffered a fracture last Sunday against the Panthers, is expected to miss at least one more game after this week and as many as three more.
