Some positive news to report to Falcons fans. Dan Quinn reportedly told CBS sports reporter, Tracy Wolfson, that Julio Jones will play and will not be on a pitch count.

No one but the team truly knows Jones true condition, but this is very good news. Jones has been hampered by a nagging hamstring, and reports earlier this week said he would be on a pitch/snap count. Now this could be a smoke screen by Quinn. He could possibly be a decoy in tonight’s game, but do not expect that.
In Week 5, Jones played 71 out of 84 snaps against Washington. A note to key in on is that Atlanta will have a “mini-bye” after this game, as they will have 10 days to recover before playing at the Tennessee Titans.
