An extra few days of rest following Thursday night's loss to the New Orleans Saints will work just fine for Julio Jones.
The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver knows he's unlikely to be 100 percent through the entire season. That's just the nature of the game. But at least the extended break will give Jones time to rest the hamstring and toe injuries that have limited his practice time.
He plans to sleep, and sleep a lot.
``For me, personally, it's going to be great,'' Jones said. ``I've been battling this hamstring. But I'm good, though. I feel better than I did last week.
