Falcons' Julio Jones: Returns to practice on limited basis

Jones (ankle) returned to practice Monday as a limited participant, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Jones practiced for the first time since injuring his ankle on Aug. 26 in a preseason game against the Dolphins. He's already said that he'll be fine for Week 1, but owners would still like to see Jones log at least one full practice prior to Sunday's regular season opener against Tampa Bay. He does have a long history of playing at a high level while dealing with minor lower-body injuries.
