Another missed practice Jones (hamstring) was held out of practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Interim coach Raheem Morris stated Wednesday that Jones was "a bit closer" to being available on game day, but the wide receiver has yet to make notable progress on the practice field. Jones has one more shot to do so before week's end, at which point the Falcons may make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's contest at Kansas City.

No practice Wednesday Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Instead, Jones worked out with Atlanta's training staff, per Kelsey Conway of the team's official site. Interim coach Raheem Morris noted earlier Wednesday that Jones is "a bit closer" to being able to suit up for game days, but he'll continue to be evaluated until the team deems him OK to play on his balky hamstring. Jones has two more opportunities to prove himself on the practice field this week.

Set to work with trainers Jones (hamstring) is slated to work out with the Atlanta training staff Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports.
Impact Per the report, interim head coach Raheem Morris indicated that Jones is a bit closer to returning to game action, but the team plans to evaluate the wideout throughout the week before making any decisions regarding his status for Sunday's game against Kansas City. Jones has missed the Falcons' past two games with the hamstring injury.

Intends to play before season's end Jones (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection, which he hopes will accelerate his recovery...
Impact Though the 4-9 Falcons have already been eliminated from postseason contention, Jones apparently isn't keen on being shut down, despite the fact that his nagging hamstring injury will cause him to sit out a second consecutive game Sunday and his fifth overall of the season. Jones reportedly had the PRP injection shortly after the Week 14 loss to the Saints, resulting in him being sidelined in practices throughout this week while he waited for the shot to take its desired effect. Assuming Jones' hamstring is feeling better next week, he should return to practice in some capacity and attempt to get the green light from the coaching and medical staffs for the Falcons' Dec. 27 game in Kansas City. Until Jones rejoins the lineup, Calvin Ridley will operate as the team's clear top target in the passing game.

Out again Week 15 Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 31-year-old will be sidelined for the third time in the past four games as he continues to battle the hamstring injury. Interim head coach Raheem Morris still hopes Jones will be able to return to the field for the final two weeks of the season, but he could face an uphill battle to gain clearance since he hasn't seen practice or game action in nearly two weeks. Calvin Ridley (foot) is poised to operate as Atlanta's No. 1 wide receiver again this weekend.

Another missed practice Jones (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Interim head coach Raheem Morris has yet to rule Jones out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, but the wideout's absence in both of the Falcons' first two Week 15 practices doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up this weekend. While Jones was sidelined with the hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 14 loss to the Chargers, Calvin Ridley operated as Atlanta's clear No. 1 wideout, finishing with eight receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.
