Falcons WR Julio Jones didn’t want to rush his recovery and looked at little things as milestones. Like the day the Falcons moved practice indoors from the rain. Jones was happy to get a chance to test the foot on turf.
“The Georgia Dome has turf and that just gave me more reps on turf to make me feel more comfortable when game time comes around,” Jones said.
While Jones appears fine, he’s perhaps his toughest critic.
“I can get up to speed good,” Jones said. “I can’t hold it as long as I want to hold it like over a course of game. Right now, I probably could give you 65 plays or so, I mean that’s a whole game, but the way that I play in the running game and everything, I want to be at full speed for the whole game. I don’t feel like I’m there yet.”
Jones has looked 100-percent so far in camp and preseason but wants to make sure he's a full-go for the regular season. He's already shown flashes in the preseason, like 52-yard TD in preseason Week 3. Jones has been going in the lower half of first rounds and sometimes even slipping into the early second round. Jones is already ranked as our third-best WR play in Week 1 against the Saints.
