Falcons' Julio Jones: All systems go

Jones (knee), who had his leg examined Monday, checked out "fine" and is set to play Thursday against the Buccaneers, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Jones exited Sunday's game against the Packers just before halftime in order to have his leg examined in the locker room. He was visibly hobbled by the injury thereafter, but ultimately logged 53 out of a possible 63 offensive snaps throughout the course of the contest. Now, after being cleared by team doctors and logging a limited practice session Monday, Falcons head coach Dan Quinn is evidently convinced of Jones' health as he declared that his All-Pro receiver will be ready for Thursday's divisional clash.
