Report: Julio Jones unlikely to have major role in offense Sunday
Julio Jones reportedly will not be at full strength on Sunday.
Jones, who is battling turf toe, will reportedly be little more of a decoy if he even plays against the Los Angeles Rams, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
He’s going to be a decoy at best. https://t.co/bJYShKIGxT

In fact, Ledbetter thinks Jones won’t play at all.
Cause Coach is “anticipating” that he’ll play. I’m not. Calling coach’s bluff. https://t.co/bJYShKIGxT

The Falcons reportedly think Jones will be able to go. They may just be trying to give Los Angeles something to think about. Sending him out as a decoy seems like it would serve the same purpose.
