  • Managing foot issue

    Coach Dan Quinn relayed Monday that Jones is still rehabbing his foot injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: On the plus side, the star wideout was spotted on the practice field as the Falcons opened training camp Monday. Though Jones, who is currently hoping to sign a contract extension with the team, is understandably being eased into things, at this stage there is nothing to suggest that his current foot issue is a major concern. The 30-year-old is no stranger to the team's in-season injury report but hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2016.

  • Not holding out

    Jones (foot) is reporting for the start of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones hasn't received the new contract he desires, but he apparently is confident about a deal eventually being completed. He was a spectator during mandatory minicamp in June, not wanting to aggravate an issue with his foot. The 30-year-old wideout may reconsider his amicable stance if negotiations don't wrap up soon.

  • Working toward contract

    Jones (foot) is sending agent Drew Rosenhaus to meet with the Falcons on Wednesday for face-to-face negotiations, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Falcons owner Arthur Blank and general manger Thomas Dimitroff both have acknowledged their intention to give Jones a new contract, but there's still work to be done on the exact terms. Jones has two seasons remaining on a five-year, $71.25 million deal, putting him 12th among wide receivers in average annual value ($14.25 million), per overthecap.com. The 30-year-old didn't hold out from mandatory minicamp in June, instead watching from the sidelines to avoid aggravating his foot. His history…read more

  • Dealing with foot injury

    Jones won't partake in drills at mandatory minicamp this week while he rehabs a foot injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Jones was absent for voluntary workouts in May while he attempts to secure a new contract but reported to the Falcons' practice facility Monday still recovering from the foot issue. It's not clear how the 30-year-old sustained the injury or where he's currently at in his recovery. Jones has two years and just over $21 million remaining on his current deal, and general manager Thomas Dimitroff indicated last month both sides "are having really good conversations" toward a new contract, per…read more

  • Absent for start of OTAs

    Jones was not present for the Falcons' first OTA session Monday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones assured earlier this offseason that he will be present for mandatory minicamp in June, but chose to abstain from voluntary workouts Monday while awaiting a contract extension from the team. General manager Thomas Dimitroff has been persistent that there is no cause for alarm, stating that both sides "are having really good conversations," and "there's no time frame on (the extension). But, the sooner (it can get done) the better." Jones has been dominant in amassing 1,400 receiving yards…read more

  • Will attend mandatory minicamp

    General manager Thomas Dimitroff stated that Jones will be in attendance for Falcons mandatory minicamp from June 11-13, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones remains in search of a pay raise from the Falcons, but all indications hint that contract negotiations are in an amicable state, and an agreement should be reached in the near future. Dimitroff said Saturday that the club was "very encouraged" by extension talks with Jones' agent, Jimmy Sexton, and that Jones will remain around the team facility while negotiations are ongoing. Jones sat out mandatory minicamp a year ago, but there was certainly no evidence of rust upon his return to the…read more

  • Not planning a holdout

    Jones isn't present Monday for the start of voluntary workouts, but he plans to join the Falcons later this spring in time for mandatory team activities, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The main takeaway is that Jones isn't planning a holdout as a tactic to secure a new contract. Falcons owner Arthur Blank recently suggested it's just a matter of time until the two parties reach an agreement, essentially acknowledging that Jones has outplayed his five-year, $71.25 million contract through three seasons. The 30-year-old wideout is working on five consecutive years with more than 1,400 yards, including a 2018 campaign in which he scored eight touchdowns in the final nine games.…read more

  • On track for new contract

    Falcons owner Arthur Blank expects Jones to receive a contract extension this offseason, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. "I'll let Antonio Brown take care of himself," Blank said. "And we will take care of Julio and make sure that he's treated with the respect that he should be and that he's earned."

    Analysis: Jones has two seasons remaining on a five-year, $71.25 million contract, placing him 11th among wide receivers in average annual value, per OverTheCap.com. He hasn't made any public comments about a potential holdout, but that doesn't mean it isn't on his mind. The 30-year-old is working on a five-year streak with more than 1,400 yards, having missed just three games during that stretch despite dealing with numerous injuries. Jones' career mark of 96.7 receiving yards per game is the best in…read more

  • May get improved contract terms

    Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said Jones (chest) may have his contract addressed during the offseason, Matthew Tabeek of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones has two seasons remaining on a five-year, $71.25 million extension that now looks like a bargain compared to the contracts for other top wide receivers. He easily outperformed his $12.9 million cap hit in 2018, leading the league with 1,677 receiving yards despite playing through injuries all season. At last check, he was headed for X-rays on his chest area after posting a 9-138-1 receiving line Week 17 against Tampa Bay. The lack of follow-up from Atlanta beat reporters suggests nothing…read more

  • Excels in season-ending win

    Jones brought in nine of 13 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 34-32 win over the Buccaneers. However, he apparently was headed for X-rays to his chest area following the game, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The potential injury aside, Jones enjoyed an outstanding season finale, capping it with his ninth 100-yard game of the campaign. Jones also scored a total of five touchdowns over the final four games, a welcome sight after he famously failed to find the end zone in his first seven contests. The eight-year veteran also finished 2018 with the second-highest reception (113) and receiving yardage (1,677) totals of his career, while his eight touchdowns equaled the second-best figure that he's ever…read more

  • Ready for Week 17

    Jones (hip/ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Jones is set to hit the 16-game mark for a third time in the past four seasons. His consistent presence on the injury report hasn't prevented him from piling up a league-high (for wide receivers) 1,539 scrimmage yards, with a good chance to reach 1,600 for the second time in his career. Jones caught 10 passes for 144 yards in a Week 6 win over Tampa Bay, boosting his career averages against the Bucs to 7.2 catches for 120 yards and…read more

  • Gets go-ahead for Week 17

    Coach Dan Quinn said Jones (hip/ribs) will play in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per usual, Jones is expected to play without doing much work in practice. He's looking to defend his spot atop the NFL leaderboard for receiving yards, sitting 114 ahead of DeAndre Hopkins and 121 ahead of Mike Evans. Jones roasted the Tampa Bay defense for a 10-144-0 receiving line on 14 targets in a 34-29 Falcons victory back in Week 6. Another update will be available when Atlanta releases its final injury report Friday afternoon.

  • Held out again Thursday

    Jones (hip/ribs) didn't take the practice field Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite following his precise regimen from a week ago so far, Jones seemingly is healthier this time around, if coach Dan Quinn is to be believed. Unfortunately for Jones, he was unable to log any on-field work Thursday after participating in an earlier walk-through, per McClure. After progressing to limited at last Friday's session, Jones earned a questionable designation and eventually was deemed active for Week 16, so being tabbed with the former would give him a good chance to yield the…read more

  • Healthier than last week

    Coach Dan Quinn said Jones (hip/ribs) is ahead of last week's schedule, which may result in some practice reps Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Slated to test out his pair of injuries during walk-through, Jones could get clearance to practice one day earlier than Week 16 preparations. Even if he does, though, the Falcons are poised to take a cautious approach with the wide receiver, who battles health concerns on a near-weekly basis.

    Jones (hip/ribs) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to the session, coach Dan Quinn relayed on 92.9 The Game Atlanta that Jones' workload will be monitored closely this week, but the wideout hasn't been ruled out for the regular-season finale. Quinn later added the Falcons will do what is in the "best interest" of Jones, according to McClure. Jones was contained to just one limited practice last week before gaining clearance to play by Sunday, but Quinn and company will keep close tabs on the wide receiver to ensure he can handle the…read more

  • Practice time to be limited Week 17

    Coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Jones' practice reps would be restricted throughout the week while the wideout battles hip and rib injuries, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Quinn noted that the same restrictions apply to Tevin Coleman (groin), though neither the running back nor Jones has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers and both are scheduled to at least take part in the walk-through portion of Wednesday's practice. While there's little on the line for the Falcons in Week 17, Jones may gain clearance to suit up this weekend if he endures no setbacks in his recovery from the two injuries over the next few days.

  • Fades after promising start

    Jones (hip) caught four of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jones got off to a promising start to the game, catching four passes -- including a one-yard touchdown grab -- on his team's opening drive. Unfortunately, he was targeted just once the rest of the game and finished with a modest performance by his lofty standards. It's unclear if Jones' nagging hip injury played a part in limiting his involvement, but it is fair to assume he wasn't 100 percent healthy. With nothing left to play for this season, the star wideout could be held out next Sunday…read more

  • Ready to go Week 16

    Jones (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Panthers.

    Analysis: As much was suspected from reports earlier Sunday, and this announcement officially confirms it. There are no indications Jones will be under any type of "pitch count" with regards to snaps after reportedly going through rigorous pregame warmups that included plyometrics, so he appears fit to be deployed in fantasy postseason matchups as customary against a Panthers team that he produced a 5-64-0 line against back in Week 2.

  • In line to play Week 16

    Jones (hip) is expected to be active Sunday in Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones went through a series of activities during pregame warmups, including plyometrics (per Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site) and testing out his explosiveness (according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com). Per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it apparently was enough to gain the approval of head coach Dan Quinn, but the Falcons won't make it official until releasing their inactive list at approximately 11:30 AM ET.

  • Trending toward suiting up

    The Falcons are optimistic that Jones (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, will be able to play, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Before confirming Jones' availability, the Falcons will put the wideout through an early morning workout just to ensure the hip issue isn't hindering him too much. The fact that Jones was able to practice Friday in a limited fashion hinted at some progress, but it's still necessary to confirm prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff that he's good to go. Given that the Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention, there's some risk that Jones' snaps could be more limited than usual, but if he suits up…read more

  • Status hinges on pregame warmup

    Jones (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, will be tested during pregame warmups before his status for the contest is determined, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones trended up over the course of the week, going from no participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday to limited participation Friday. The Falcons and Panthers kick off at 1 p.m. EST, so official word on Jones' status is likely to come with the release of Atlanta's inactive list 90 minutes before game time.

  • Officially considered questionable

    Jones (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn mostly sounded optimistic Friday when asked about Jones' status for Week 16, but he also said the wideout is expected to come down to a game-time decision. Per McClure the Falcons intend to take a closer look at their banged-up superstar during Saturday's walk-through. A cautious approach would normally make sense for a team without playoff aspirations, but Jones is still batting for the league lead in receiving yards and already has a long history of playing at a high level…read more

    Analysis: Quinn said Jones is mentally preparing as if he will play, with the wideout's participation in Friday's practice a good sign for his Sunday availability, per Jason Butt of The Athletic. There probably wouldn't be any real question about Jones' status if his team was still in the playoff hunt, but the Falcons may prefer to take a cautious approach at this stage of the season. Granted, it wouldn't be the first time Jones battled through an injury without the motivation of a potential playoff…read more

    Analysis: As coach Dan Quinn noted earlier Thursday, Jones was on the field for the Falcons' walk-through, but didn't log any practice reps for the second straight day. Quinn described Jones' restrictions as being part of a designed maintenance plan, but the wideout offered no assurances he would suit up Sunday against the Panthers, per McClure. More clarity on Jones' status for the weekend should be gleaned based on what he's able to do at Friday's practice.

  • Not taking part in drills

    Coach Dan Quinn said that Jones (hip) would go through the Falcons' walk-through Thursday but wouldn't participate in practice, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Unless the Falcons indicate otherwise, Jones will be listed as "DNP" on the team's practice report for the second straight day. Despite Jones' lack of reps at this stage, the Falcons haven't shown any overwhelming concern that the star receiver will be forced to sit out this weekend against the Panthers. To that end, Quinn noted that the Falcons planned to restrict Jones' workload early in Week 16 by design, so it's assumed the wideout will increase his activity at Friday's practice. Based on…read more

  • No practice reps Wednesday

    Coach Dan Quinn said Jones (hip) won't practice Wednesday but will be evaluated throughout the week to determine his availability for Sunday's game at Carolina, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. "We've been through this before with him where we'll take it through the first couple of days and see what it looks like for Friday," Quinn said. "I'm encouraged by where he's at. But until he runs -- move and go -- you have an injury that's there that walking doesn't bother you as much as cutting and turning and jumping for passes and diving like he does."

    Analysis: Jones is no stranger to being limited in or sitting out practice due to injuries, as intimated by Quinn on Wednesday. A hip issue is bothering Jones this time around, with the receiver having previously endured calf, hand, ankle and foot issues in addition to an illness just this season alone. Taking Quinn at his word, Jones' status should be watched closely to learn whether an absence is possible in Week 16.

  • Tending to hip injury

    Jones won't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to the session, coach Dan Quinn said on his radio appearance with 92-9 The Game Atlanta that Jones would be limited in practice Wednesday. Instead, the wide receiver will rest his ailing hip, as he's done a number of times this season with other injuries. It should be noted he missed a game in 2014 due to a hip issue, so Jones' status should be watched closely to ensure he's available Sunday in Carolina.

  • Will be limited Wednesday

    Coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday on his radio appearance with 92-9 The Game Atlanta that Jones (undisclosed) would be a limited participant in the team's first practice of Week 16.

    Analysis: Jones wasn't forced to depart Sunday's 40-14 win over the Cardinals with any reported injury, so he's presumably still dealing with a minor foot issue that resulted in his practice time being restricted the last couple weeks. The Falcons will release their first injury report of the week at the conclusion of Wednesday's practice, at which time the exact source of Jones' discomfort will be known. The fact that the wideout is practicing at all Wednesday suggests he's in little danger of sitting…read more

  • Goes deep against Arizona

    Jones caught six of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-14 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Jones placed an exclamation point on a dominant Atlanta first half when he stretched out for a 21-yard diving touchdown grab in the closing seconds of the second quarter. It was the star receiver's third touchdown in two weeks, and his sixth in the last seven games after he started the season scoreless through his first seven contests. Though the season hasn't lived up to team expectations, Jones has been dominant and has an opportunity to finish strong against two mediocre division-rival pass…read more

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Jones (foot/illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: After missing Wednesday's practice to manage a minor foot injury and Thursday's practice to recover from an illness, Jones rejoined his teammates Friday as a limited participant. He'll do battle with an Arizona defense that allows 7.0 yards per pass attempt (fifth best), including just 7.5 per target on throws to wide receivers. Jones figures to spend much of his afternoon squaring off with top cover corner Patrick Peterson.

  • Back at practice

    Jones (foot/illness) was present for Friday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones did not practice Thursday, but that apparently had more to do with his illness than his foot injury, and his participation Friday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals like head coach Dan Quinn expects. The Falcons will provide an official update on Jones' status after Friday's practice concludes, but it looks like fantasy players can plan on him being available for Week 15.

  • Falls ill, but on track for Sunday

    Jones (foot) was sent home from Thursday's practice after experiencing flu-like symptoms but coach Dan Quinn fully expects the wideout to play Sunday against the Cardinals, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The illness will prevent Jones from practicing for the second day in a row after he was withheld from Wednesday's session with the foot issue. It's believed that Jones' absence for the first practice of Week 15 was for maintenance purposes more than anything, and Quinn's comments suggest the ailment won't derail the star receiver's chances of playing Sunday either. With another day off to regain health, Jones should be back at practice Friday in some fashion, which would likely erase any…read more

  • Still dealing with foot injury

    Coach Dan Quinn said Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Quinn's comments came in a conference call with Cardinals media as the Falcons prepare to host Arizona on Sunday. He added that he expects Jones to suit up Week 15, so it appears as if the wideout is following a maintenance plan similar to a week ago. Last week, he opened with an absence from practice before being limited on back-to-back injury reports. He ultimately gained clearance to play and torched the Packers for eight catches, 106 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Hauls in two TDs

    Jones caught eight of 11 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Jones had three receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on the Falcons' opening drive before adding a 12-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. It was a fantastic rebound performance after the Ravens held him to two catches for 18 yards last week. The 29-year-old missed a few plays in that game due to a foot injury, but he didn't appear hampered at Green Bay.

  • Limited Friday, ready for Sunday

    Jones (foot), who practiced in a limited capacity Friday, doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Green Bay, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his limited listing at Friday's practice, Jones' activity was contained to an appearance at Thursday's walk-through after he logged no reps Wednesday. Despite getting in very little work due to a foot injury, he was cleared to play earlier Friday by coach Dan Quinn, per McFadden. Jones is thus ready to go Sunday versus a Packers defense that has surrendered 13.5 yards per reception and 17 total touchdowns to wide receivers in 12 games this season.

  • Cleared for Week 14

    Coach Dan Quinn said that Jones (foot) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: While nursing the foot injury, Jones was listed as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, though he did at least take part in walk-through drills at the latter session. It's unclear how extensively Jones was involved in the team's final practice of the week Friday, but Quinn's comments suggests that the wideout can be included in fantasy lineups with some measure of confidence. Limited to a season-worst line with two receptions for 18 yards on eight targets in the Week 13 loss…read more

  • Non-participant in practice

    Jones (foot) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn acknowledged prior to the session that Jones wouldn't practice fully while working through the foot issue, but it was expected the wideout would be able to do some limited activity in team drills. That evidently didn't materialize given the non-participation listing, though it's still believed Jones went through the walk-through portion of the practice. Quinn also indicated earlier Thursday that he anticipates Jones playing Sunday against the Packers, which seems like a…read more

  • Will be limited Thursday

    Coach Dan Quinn said that Jones (foot) wouldn't fully participate in team drills Thursday but will go through the walk-through portion of practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons have been taking a cautious approach with Jones' practice activity after he picked up a foot injury in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but Quinn relayed that he expects the wideout to play in Atlanta's Week 14 matchup with the Packers, according to Jason Butt of The Athletic. Jones will likely go down as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report before presumably increasing his involvement Friday, which would allay most of the concern about his availability for the weekend.

  • Dealing with foot injury

    Jones missed Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones handled a 77 percent snap share in Sunday's 26-16 loss to Baltimore, but he seemed to miss a few plays late in the game. His final stat line -- two catches for 16 yards on eight targets -- was also a massive deviation from the norm. Of course, the Falcons have frequently listed Jones on the injury report with minor issues over the years, so it's hard to know if his Week 14 availability is truly in jeopardy. He has a history of surgical procedures on his right foot, but it hasn't been…read more

  • Sees dominance snapped in major way

    Jones caught two of eight targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 26-16 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Oof. Jones entered Sunday with at least 100 yards in six straight games and three touchdowns in the process. He and Matt Ryan simply never got on the same page Sunday, as Ryan tallied his lowest yardage mark in a game in which he attempted at least 10 passes in his career. Expect both Ryan and Jones to rebound in a big way during Week 14 against the Packers, a team that entered Sunday among the top 10 in the league in passing yards surrendered, but one that seemed to have quit during an…read more

  • Continues tremendous streak of play

    Jones hauled in 11 of 14 targets, amassing 147 receiving yards but accounting for one costly fumble during Thursday's 31-17 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Jones has been remarkably productive of late, with 741 receiving yards over his past six outings, the most he's pieced together in a six-game stretch since Week's 4 through 9 of 2016 (which included his 300-yard receiving performance against Carolina, the sixth-most all-time in an NFL game). The five-time Pro Bowler is a perennial WR1 option in fantasy, largely due to his monstrous target share and consistent receiving output despite touch-and-go scoring production. This season, Jones trails…read more

  • Scores for third straight week

    Jones caught six of his nine targets for 118 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones led the team in targets, catches and yardage while scoring his third touchdown in as many weeks. He's been remarkably consistent of late, topping the 100-yard mark in six of his last seven games to boost his season average to a staggering 115.8 yards per contest. Jones should continue his excellent run Thursday in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Saints.

  • Fastest in NFL history to 10,000 yards

    Jones caught seven of 11 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 road loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Jones topped the 10,000 career receiving yard mark on a second-quarter reception, becoming the fastest in NFL history to do so in just his 104th game. He capped that same drive with a one-yard touchdown, giving him receiving scores in consecutive weeks after starting the season on a seven-game touchdown drought. Jones will be a WR1 as usual at home against the Cowboys in Week 11.

  • Scores first touchdown of the season

    Jones caught seven of 10 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-14 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Jones made his biggest play of the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter, snagging a bubble screen and cutting upfield for a 35-yard touchdown, his first of the season. Jones has been elite outside the red zone this season, with five 100-yard games, good for a 1,866-yard pace for the season. However, his failure to score prior to Sunday had dragged down his value. A late-game catch-and-run doesn't solve Jones' peculiar lack of production in the red zone, but it's a start. Week 10…read more
