Report: Julio Jones likely a game-time decision Thursday vs. Saints

Jason Getz / USA TODAY Sports

The Atlanta Falcons don't know if wide receiver Julio Jones will be available to play Thursday versus the New Orleans Saints, and his status could remain uncertain until shortly before the game, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.

A source told Werder it's "gonna be close" with Jones, adding that the Falcons are "not sure he can go."

Jones is battling a hamstring injury and also seems to be hampered by a sore foot. He played through the ailments in Week 5, catching five passes for 67 yards and pouncing on a fumble for a touchdown, but was seen limping badly between plays.

Werder's report suggests Jones is headed toward game-time decision status.
