Former Alabama great Julio Jones good to go against Green Bay Sunday

Despite a lingering foot injury, Julio Jones will be on the field Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons host the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game.

The former Alabama All-American and the sixth pick in the 2012 NFL draft has been hampered by the injury, but it did not stop him from helping the Falcons beat the Seattle Seahawks 36-20 in the divisional playoffs this past weekend.

As USA Today reported, Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn insisted Monday that his All-Pro receiver will be in the lineup when the Falcons play for a spot in the Super Bowl against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
