Falcons Injury Report: Julio Jones held of practice on Wednesday The Falcons wrapped up their first practice since interim head coach Raheem Morris took over for Dan Quinn on Wednesday.

Remains absent from practice Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Jones wasn't able to practice all last week before being declared inactive for the Falcons' loss to the Panthers, so getting in any amount of activity ahead of Sunday's contest in Minnesota would represent significant progress. Fellow pass catchers Russell Gage (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (back) were also limited in Wednesday's session. Even though he sat out the Week 5 loss, the veteran wideout was still viewed as a game-day decision prior to being inactive, so he could still have a chance at playing Sunday even if he doesn't practice beforehand.

Inactive for Week 5 Jones (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Jones was unable to practice all week after aggravating his hamstring injury in Monday's loss to the Packers, but the Falcons were still willing to wait until gameday to formally decide on his Week 5 status. Ultimately, Jones wasn't able to demonstrate enough progress during a pregame workout for the Falcons to sign off on him playing. With Jones sidelined, Olamide Zaccheaus should claim a regular spot in three-wideout sets alongside Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage. Zaccheaus shined while Jones was limited against the Packers and out entirely for the Week 3 loss to the Bears, hauling in 12 of 15 targets for 127 yards between the two contests.

Remains game-time decision Jones (hamstring) will have his availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers determined during a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The 31-year-old aggravated his hamstring injury during last Monday's loss to the Packers and was unable to practice this week, and his status for Sunday's contest remains up in the air. Jones sat out Week 3 and played only 15 snaps against Green Bay before exiting the game.

Falcons' Julio Jones misses another practice, not ruled out
Julio Jones was held out of practice for the third straight day with a hamstring injury but has not been ruled out for the Atlanta Falcons' game against the Carolina PanthersOCTOBER 9, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Headed for game-time decision Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with Carolina, likely setting up a game-time decision, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Removed from Monday's loss to the Packers after aggravating his hamstring in the first half, Jones didn't log any time on the practice field this week. For most players, the short turnaround and lack of practice participation would essentially ensure an absence, but Jones has a lengthy track record of playing through injuries without sacrificing performance. Of course, that hasn't been the case this season, as he sat out Week 3 and caught only six passes for 56 yards between Weeks 2 and 4. A 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday will give fantasy managers a number of options if they need to adjust, with one potential choice being fellow Falcons wideout Olamide Zaccheaus, who caught 12 of 15 targets for 127 yards over the past two games while Jones was absent or limited.
