Julio Jones: Won't be on pitch count Thursday

Head coach Dan Quinn told Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports that Jones (toe/hamstring) won't be held to a "pitch count" in Thursday's game at New Orleans.

Analysis:

Quinn's comments likely supersede those from a team source Wednesday, stating that Jones' snaps would be subject to a pitch count. Furthermore, Quinn relayed to Wolfson that Jones' health is "better" than a week ago, when he turned 10 targets into five catches for 67 yards. A must-start from week to week, Jones' health shouldn't deter owners, especially against a Saints defense that has surrendered 16 YPC and four touchdowns to wideouts in 2015.
