Let’s be real: If the bye wasn’t this week, the Falcons would probably be heading into their next game without Julio Jones. Because they do have the well-timed week off, however, it sounds like #11 should be on track for Week 6 against the Dolphins barring any setbacks.
That’s good news for the Falcons, who are as banged up right now as they were at any point in 2016. They lost Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu during the course of yesterday’s game, and they were already without Vic Beasley, Ryan Schraeder, Courtney Upshaw, and Ricardo Allen.
