Falcons ‘anticipate’ Julio Jones plays Thursday against Saints

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn indicated Tuesday it is the team’s expectation that Julio Jones will be good to go for Thursday night showdown with the New Orleans Saints. But the dynamic wide receiver was somewhat cryptic with his comments concerning his potential availability.

“He did the walk through last night and did that today,” Quinn said, via NFL.com. “From what we saw, he’s doing good and we anticipate him playing for the game.”

Jones, meanwhile, was unwilling to give a full confirmation regarding whether he expects to be on the field Thursday after being hampered with a nagging hamstring issue over the past few weeks, including last Sunday’s 25-19 win over the Washington Redskins.
