Julio Jones

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is dealing with a nagging toe injury, but it sounds like he is expected to play through it.

Although Jones was held out of practice on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he is expected to suit up against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Falcons optimistic WR Julio Jones, who didn't practice Weds, will be able to play vs Rams on Sunday, per source. Not as promising for Sanu.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 8, 2016

Jones has dealt with a number of minor injuries throughout the season, and turf toe is the latest. While the pain may limit his explosiveness and speed, less than 100 percent of Jones is still better than most receivers in the league.

Jones leads the Falcons with 72 receptions and 1,253 receiving yards on the season.
