Atlanta Falcons playoff injury update – Julio Jones
Atlanta Falcons playoff injury update heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Atlanta Falcons will take on the Los Angeles Rams in a win or go home wild card game Saturday night. Heading into Saturday, many questions have surrounded the health and availability of Falcons Running Back Devonta Freeman and Wide Receiver Julio Jones.
Well, there is some good news for Falcons fans. Per ESPN.com’s Vaughn McClure, all Falcons listed on the injury report earlier this week are cleared to play and are no longer questionable. Devonta Freeman was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury but as the team flew to Los Angeles today, there is no doubt he will be ready to go for his team Saturday night.
