Injuries mounting: Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones has 'turf toe', not considered long-term issue

Falcons wideout Julio Jones, who leads the NFL in receiving yards, has been diagnosed with turf toe, coach Dan Quinn announced on Monday. The team doesn't feel it's a long-term concern.

Jones hasn't missed a game this season, and is coming off a seven-reception, 113 yard-performance in a close loss versus the Chiefs. Jones has 1,253 yards on the season, which ranks above Buccaneers wideout Mike Evan's 1,058 for the NFL lead. Of Jones' 12 games, he has reached at least 100 yards seven times, but he hasn't scored a touchdown in three weeks.

Quinn also mentioned offensive tackle Jake Matthews has a knee sprain and won't practice on Wednesday.
