Falcons' Julio Jones: Quiet preseason opener

Jones did not catch a pass while being targeted twice in Thursday's preseason win over Washington.

Analysis:

Per ESPN's Vaughn McClure, QB Matt Ryan underthrew a short pass to Jones and then overshot the wideout on another. Ultimately though, Jones' preseason stats are of little import, as he is entrenched as the Falcons' top wideout (opposite newcomer Mohamed Sanu) and the team's priority here is making sure that Jones is in good health when Week 1 rolls around.
