Falcons injury update: Julio Jones, Takk McKinley back at practice, Derrick Shelby again out

The Falcons are slowly but surely getting healthier after Sunday’s new rash of injuries.

Jason Butt with The Athletic was on hand for Friday’s practice and noted that two important figures are back in action.

We all kind of figured WR Julio Jones would be good to go for Sunday’s tilt versus the Saints, but it’s reassuring to see he’s back out there. DE Takkarist McKinley out with his helmet on is an encouraging sight after he injured his groin against Carolina.

The team still might limit his snaps Sunday to make sure he doesn’t aggravate anything, but this is a sure sign he’s at least going to be active this week and will get some snaps.
