The Atlanta Falcons may not have to return to action without Julio Jones.
The star receiver exited Sunday's contest with a hip flexor injury, but with the Falcons on a bye in Week 5, the team doesn't expect him to miss any upcoming games, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, citing a source.
Jones was taken to the locker room just before halftime of Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished the game with three receptions for 30 yards.
The Falcons' next game comes in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins.
