Julio Jones spent ten seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, going to the Pro Bowl seven times. However, he’ll have to wait until Week 18 to exact revenge against his former club. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver has been ruled out of Week 5’s NFC South battle.
I’m told Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) will NOT play today against his former team. Source adds WR Russell Gage (back) WILL play against the Falcons.
So the Bucs will have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Gage ready to roll — a hugely important trifecta for this Tampa squad.
