FLOWERY BRANCH —
Julio Jones wasn’t himself in his last game. He isn’t sure if he will play on Thursday against the Saints but if he does, the Falcons’ star wide receiver likely will be limited again.
There’s a good chance he won’t have his usual outstanding acceleration. Jones may not be able to reach his top-end speed or out-leap defenders, like normal. His physical limitations against the Redskins threw off his timing with quarterback Matt Ryan, and it could be a problem again against the Saints.
