Julio Jones 'ready to go' after hip injury
Matt Ryan is expected to have his favorite target on the field Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones was limited in practice for the past two days after suffering a hip flexor injury against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, but insists he's fine following a bye week.
"I feel great,'' Jones said Thursday, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN. "We just have a plan here. I've been doing it the whole year. So, limited means really nothing. I'll be ready to go.''
It's been somewhat of a slow start to the season by Jones' standards, but the four-time Pro Bowler isn't concerned he hasn't found the end zone yet.
"I don't know why people are worried about Julio Jones,'' he said. "I'm not worried about it. I could care less about a touchdown. We're 3-1 right now. Right now, it's 0-0 for this quarter (of the season) for us. Whatever defenses give us, we're going to take. If that's me going out there and not scoring and we're still winning games, that's fine with me.''
