Julio Jones Injury: Updates on Falcons Star's Week 10 Status and Fantasy Value

Zachary D. RymerNov 10, 2011

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones definitely looked strong in his first game back after missing two contests with an injured hamstring. Against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Jones hauled in three catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Falcons achieve a 31-7 win.

However, Jones' hamstring may not be 100 percent healthy just yet. He has been added to the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. For all intents and purposes, that means the Jones' injury watch is back on.

As mentioned above, Jones showed up on Atlanta's injury report on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He was listed as a limited participant in practice.

Exactly what is going on with Jones is difficult to say. I'll let Dave Richard of CBSSports.com explain:

For the time being, what we have here is a mystery injury.

Is this cause to panic? Honestly, I don't think so. My best guess is that the Falcons are merely being cautious with Jones. After his breakout performance against the Colts, the last thing they want to do is have their star rookie get hurt in practice (cue Allen Iverson audio).

Still, I would definitely monitor Jones' status. The Falcons still have a couple of days to make sure he's ready, and it could be that Jones ends up being a game-time decision. 

Keep Jones in your lineup for now, but be prepared to make a move. If you don't already have a spare one lying around, I would pick up a wide receiver just in case.
