JULIO JONES NEWS

Testing hamstring Friday Coach Dan Quinn said Jones will test his hamstring with some running drills during Friday's practice, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 31-year-old has been a non-participant at practice this week, though Quinn did indicate Jones was "making progress." Even so, if Jones goes down as a non-participant again on Friday's injury report or even upgrades to limited activity, he still appears destined to carry a questionable designation -- at the very least -- into Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Still not practicing Jones (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Earlier Thursday, coach Dan Quinn told Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Jones is "making progress" through his left hamstring injury, with the likelihood that the wide receiver would get in some work on the side and potentially in individual drills. Instead, Jones didn't participate at all, leaving him just one chance Friday to prove his health. Quinn even pegged Friday as a "better day" to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday against the Panthers, so his status on the last Week 5 injury report bears monitoring.

Impact What Jones is able to Friday, and how he feels in the process, will thus be pivotal in the team's assessment of the wideout's potential availability for Sunday's 1:00 ET contest against the Panthers. If he's out or limited this weekend, added opportunities alongside Calvin Ridley will be on tap for Olamide Zaccheaus, Russell Gage and Christian Blake.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Jones (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Jones has tended to a hamstring injury for most of the season, with the injury forcing him to sit out Week 3 and to miss the second half of the Falcons' Week 4 loss at Green Bay. His running mate at wide receiver, Calvin Ridley (thigh/knee), was limited at Wednesday's session, leaving Atlanta in a precarious spot at the position heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers. They'll have two more chances to elevated to full participants this week, but Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus are the next wideouts up for the Falcons if Jones and/or Ridley require time away from the field.

Out for second half Jones won't return to Monday's game against the Packers due to a hamstring injury, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones looked as though he was in pain near the end of the second quarter, and he didn't emerge out of the locker room for the start of the second half. He caught four passes for 32 yards before exiting after he aggravated the left hamstring injury that sidelined him in the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Bears. Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage will be leaned on the rest of the way.

Suiting up Week 4 Jones (hamstring) is active for Monday's game at Green Bay, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact After sitting out Week 3 with a strained left hamstring, Jones set himself up for a return with limited practices Thursday through Saturday. Indeed, he'll be available to the Falcons offense Monday, along with fellow starting receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle). The duo will look to take advantage of a Packers defense that has surrendered 8.5 yards per target and five touchdowns to wideouts this season.
