Falcons' Julio Jones: May practice in full Sunday

Jones (knee) could return to full practice as early as Sunday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. "He's fit and knows it well, so I'm not going to rush it," head coach Dan Quinn said Saturday. "But I think it's going to be sooner than later. I don't have necessary have a, 'It has to be by tomorrow [Sunday] or it has to be by Tuesday.' But I'd be surprised if it wasn't tomorrow [Sunday] or Tuesday."

Analysis:

Jones tweaked his knee in the first practice of training camp Thursday, but his noted explosiveness was on display Saturday, indicating that he should indeed take on every practice rep in the near future. However, with an off day scheduled Monday, the Falcons could very well exercise caution with the stud wideout.
