Falcons rule WR Julio Jones out with shoulder injury

The Atlanta Falcons officially ruled Julio Jones out for Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints with a shoulder injury.

Jones appeared to injury his right shoulder in the first half of last week's 35-22 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but finished the game and played 48 of 85 offensive snaps.

Jones went through a brief warmup in pregame Thursday, catching passes from assistant head coach Raheem Morris. Jones then took a lap with coach Dan Quinn to discuss his status and walked off the field shaking his head.
