Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman may be held out for the entire preseason

The Atlanta Falcons are already announcing info for Saturday’s regular season rehearsal game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, including some big name inactives. You probably saw from the title, but Dan Quinn is apparently focused on keeping his top players healthy.

Only [Ben] Garland is being held out for medical reasons, as he is dealing with a “strain.” Both [Julio] Jones and [Devonta] Freeman are being held out as a coach’s decision. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said it was “likely” that Jones and Freeman won’t see the field in a preseason game this year.
