Falcons' Julio Jones: 'I’m practicing the whole week' before Super Bowl LI
HOUSTON — Atlanta Falcons star receiver Julio Jones says he and his troublesome toe will be full-go as preparations continue for Super Bowl LI.
“I’m practicing the whole week,” Jones told reporters Wednesday.
Jones barely practiced in the lead-up to the Jan. 22 NFC Championship Game but nonetheless had a monster game — nine catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yard score — in the Falcons’ 44-21 rout of the Green Bay Packers.
He missed two games with a sprained toe on his left foot in December, then aggravated the injury in Atlanta’s divisional playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks. He got some limited work last week before the Falcons left for Houston and dismissed the toe as a nonissue.
“I feel great,” Jones said.
