As expected, Julio Jones will suit up for the Atlanta Falcons tonight against the New Orleans Saints. Despite nursing a hamstring injury and the fact it’s a short week, Jones will take the field in a huge NFC South game. While there isn’t much at stake for the Saints, a win for the Falcons would be a major boost.
Entering Week 7 at 6-0 would put them in a commanding position for playoffs, and a win inside the division could be crucial when it comes to tiebreakers down the line.
Falcons inactives: LB Justin Durant, G Mike Person, S Charles Godfrey, DE Malliciah Goodman, WR Justin Hardy, OT Bryce Harris, S Dezmen Southward
Saints inactives: G Tim Lelito, CB Damian Swann, P Thomas Morstead, WR Marques Colston, DE Obum Gwacham, QB Garrett Grayson, T Terron Armstead
Justin Durant was out of practice all week with an elbow injury, and had no chance of making the game on a short week.
