Three Eagles named MaxPreps AA Jones pulled from Falcons’ first practice with minor injury

By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The At- lanta Falcons were cautious on the opening day of training camp Thursday, pulling star wide receiver Julio Jones out of practice with an injury coach Dan Quinn described as minor. Quinn wouldn’t describe the injury, and Jones showed no apparent difficulty as he walked off the field at the end of the session. “He just had a little tweak, so we just decided to hold him,” Quinn said. “He’ll likely be back in there tomorrow. He could have come back in today and he was asking me to, but I decided not to.” Jones, who had two surgeries on his right foot in the past five years, is com- ing off his first All-Pro season. He’s among the team leaders after the re- lease of receiver Roddy White. Jones had surgery in 2013 to repair the fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. He broke the same bone in the foot in 2011. The second surgery raised concerns, but the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Jones put to them rest by posting two straight sea- sons with more than 100 receptions and 1,500 yards. Jones and Pittsburgh’s An- tonio Brown shared the NFL lead with 136 catches and Jones led the league with 1,871 yards receiving last season. The Falcons gave Jones a $71.25 mil- Eagle file photo lion, five-year contract extension, with Three members on the 2016 Class 2A state guarantees of $47.5 million, before last champion Sumiton Christian Eagles were season.
