Julio sits Friday, will test hip on Saturday Status for Sunday still up in the air By: Mike Krueger | Dec 19 2014, 12:10 pm
The Falcons are hoping that rest and treatment will help heal wide receiver Julio Jones’ hip injury.
The star receiver was not on the field during the open portion of practice and was not expected to practice on Friday. Jones has not practiced since he was hurt late in a Dec. 8 loss at the Packers and did not return. After trying to run Saturday, he didn’t play against the Steelers.
Jones has a big test run on Saturday before the team leaves for New Orleans.

FFToday's Take:Head coach Mike Smith stated in early in the week that Jones would likely be able to play but this is far from certain. He is shaping up to be a gametime decision. The Falcons face the Saints at 1:00 pm Eastern on Sunday.
