Sunday injuries: Jones active for Falcons, but Jeffery out for Bears


Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is active and will play today.

Jones' status was in doubt when he was limited in practice this week with hamstring and toe injuries.

In other injury news Sunday:

- Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden is active. He was a surprise inactive last week with rib and finger injuries.

- Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will miss his second straight game Sunday as he continues to recover from hamstring and calf injuries. Seattle will have Lynch's backup, Fred Jackson, who was questionable after spraining his ankle Monday night. Jackson is active.

- As expected, the Buffalo Bills will have to rely on some combination of RBs Anthony Dixon and newly-signed Daniel "Boom" Herron with LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and rookie Karlos Williams (concussion) both out. WR Sammy Watkins  (calf) is also out.

.- The tender hamstring of Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery has forced him out of today's game. It is the fourth straight game he has missed.
