Falcons come up short as Ryan's Hail Mary falls flat
Matt Ryan and Julio Jones couldn’t connect on a 39-yard Hail Mary pass as the ball fell to the end zone turf and Atlanta lost 21-16 to the New Orleans SaintsDECEMBER 6, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Strong outing in return from injury Jones reeled in six of 10 targets for 94 yards during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.
Impact Jones was unavailable for last Sunday's win over the Raiders, after toughing his way through a hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of a Week 11 loss to the Saints. He returned to face his divisional rivals once again Sunday, faring much more favorably compared to his two-catch, 39-yard Nov. 22 outing. Jones had no reported setbacks during the Week 13 showdown, though it wouldn't be surprising to see his practice workload curtailed heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Chargers. The team may want to take precautions to ensure the seven-time Pro Bowler stays healthy given the Falcons' playoff hopes all but evaporated with an eighth loss Sunday.

Returning to action Week 13 Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Jones has gutted through a hamstring injury for a good portion of the season, sitting out Weeks 3 and 5 and most recently last Sunday against the Raiders. After taking the practice field and testing out his hamstring Friday, he told McFadden that he "didn't feel anything," but he still was given a limited listing and questionable designation for Sunday. Now officially back in action, Jones will face a New Orleans defense that has allowed 13 touchdowns (ninth most in the NFL) and 8.5 yards per target (ninth worst) to wide receivers this season.

Set to return Sunday Jones (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday versus the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones missed last week's win over the Raiders after sustaining the hamstring injury Week 11 against the Saints, but he's on track to play in Sunday's divisional rematch. Running back Todd Gurley (knee) is also likely to play, so quarterback Matt Ryan should enter the contest with the offense's top weapons available.

Draws questionable tag The Falcons list Jones (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though Jones is taking an injury designation into the weekend, the wideout was optimistic that earlier Friday that the hamstring issue wouldn't sideline him beyond the Week 12 win over the Raiders. According to William McFadden of the Falcons' official site, Jones said he "didn't feel anything" while running around in practice Friday, an encouraging sign after he was withheld from Thursday's session entirely. The Falcons and Saints kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, so fantasy managers should at least have the ability to pivot to other options in the event the narrative surrounding Jones' health suddenly takes a more negative spin.

Could practice Friday Jones (hamstring) is expected to practice "a little bit" Friday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 31-year-old began the week with a limited practice Wednesday but was unable to take part in Thursday's session, so a return to the field in any capacity would be an improvement. Jones sat out last week's win over the Raiders due to the hamstring strain, and he seems likely to be listed as questionable -- at best -- for this weekend's matchup with the Saints.

Doesn't practice Thursday Jones (hamstring) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact The lack of practice activity represents a step back for Jones, who was limited in the team's first Week 13 session a day earlier. Since he previously sat out the Falcons' Week 12 win over the Raiders with the strained hamstring, Jones may need to put in a full workout Friday for the team to feel comfortable about his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints. If Jones can't go this weekend, receivers Calvin Ridley (foot) and Russell Gage and tight end Hayden Hurst would represent the clear top three options in the Atlanta passing game.
