Julio Jones hauled in seven catches on 12 targets for 91 yards before leaving with a back injury on Sunday in a victory against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

Falcons coach Dan Quinn doesn't believe the injury is serious per the team's official site. He also reported "[Jones] said he was going to be fine," and that "I don't know if he could have come back in, knowing him, I know he would have tried. It didn't sound like it was anything long, extended for him. He got the attention that he normally gets. I don't have any updates other than I don't think it's anything that is going to knock him out for an extended period of time." Despite a lengthy injury history Jones is well-known for his toughness and ability to play through nagging ailments. Keep an eye on the Falcons' injury report this week as barring any setbacks Jones should not miss any time and will look for his first touchdown of the season against the Buffalo Bills.
