Julio Jones' status vs. Saints to be determined in pregame workout

The status of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones appears set to come right down to the wire in the lead-up to Sunday's divisional matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
Jones' availability will be determined in a pre-game workout that will test his injured hip, according to a ProFootballTalk report.
The Falcons and Jones went through the same process last week before he was eventually ruled out, but the extra time to recover should give him a better chance to suit up.
With the Falcons facing a must-win game, ESPN's Vaughn McClure expects Jones to play and have a significant role in the offense's game plan.
