Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley All Out Thursday
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf), running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. The surprising and unsettling one here is Jones, but he said on Thursday that he's good and is missing practice as a precaution. The veteran wideout has a history of playing through nagging injuries in his career, but we'd like to see him at least get in a limited practice on Friday. The bottom line is that if he's active in Week 3 against the Bengals, he should be in all fantasy lineups as a strong WR1. Freeman is likely to miss another couple of weeks, making Tevin Coleman an RB2.
