Julio Jones doesn't practice Friday

Jul 29, 2016

Julio Jones left the very first practice of training camp with what Falcons coach Dan Quinn called a “tweak” to an unspecified body part.

Jones did not practice Friday, either, after Quinn had said he likely would. But Quinn insists that the injury is a “small tweak” and a “one-off thing” and said Jones would “likely be back in the next day or so.”

“He’s fit,” Quinn said. “He’s strong. It was my decision, and I wanted to hold him back.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's worth note because Jones was expected back today. It's possible he was just held out to be safe as Quinn said, but at the same time it leaves some doubt among fantasy owners because Jones is a possible top-three overall pick.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
