Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not concerned after re-injuring his left ankle during Sunday’s 31-24 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jones tweaked his ankle running a deep route in the fourth quarter. He first injured the ankle in the third preseason game
“I’m good, though,” Jones said after the game. “You’re never going to be 100 percent anymore. I’ve played through things. It’s nothing that’s going to hold me back from going out there and producing or doing what I do.”
Jones had just four catches for 66 yards on Sunday, including a 25-yard touchdown.
“They just tried to take me away early on in the ballgame,” Jones said. “We expected that, with (Bucs defensive coordinator) Mike Smith and him coaching me, being my head coach. And Dirk Koetter, also. They know what I’m capable of doing. We just knew coming into the game that they were going to do that. I feel like I played my position and did my part by drawing coverage.”
