Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn isn't concerned with Julio Jones' status for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, despite the star wide receiver missing practice on Wednesday.
Jones did not practice due to a foot injury, and he's coming off a tough game where he had just two receptions for 18 yards in Atlanta's 26-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
However, even with Jones sitting out, it doesn't appear that Quinn is too worried about the five-time Pro-Bowler's absence extending into the weekend.
From ESPN's Falcons beat writer Vaughn McClure:
Falcons coach Dan Quinn was asked about the health of the team today and didn't indicate any concern about WR Julio Jones, who sat out Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. We'll see if Jones return to action Thursday. Jones was out on the practice field at the start but apparently didn't do anything. He's coming off a season-low two catches for 18 yards against the Ravens. Jones came out of the game briefly last week but ended up playing 41 of 53 offensive snaps.
Much has been made about Jones having only three touchdowns this season, but he's still managed to secure 86 receptions for 1,323 yards.
Unfortunately, his production hasn't been enough to help Atlanta overcome some serious issues elsewhere, as Quinn's team is currently riding a four-game losing streak.
So, there's no doubt that Matt Ryan and company would love to have Jones ready to go when the Falcons head to Lambeau Field for a showdown against the Packers.
