The Facts: Jones, the Falcons’ first round draft pick, took part in his first practice with members of team on Tuesday. Jones was cleared to run by Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot specialist in Charlotte, last Tuesday. Jones just jogged through a couple of routes and appeared fine during the seven-on-seven drills.

Diehards Line:According to AJC staffer D. Orlando Ledbetter, Jones spent most of his time listening to the play call and then getting the details of the play from QB Matt Ryan or John Parker Wilson. “They just told me to take it very slow,” Jones said. ”That’s what I’m going to do. I’m not coming out here to run full speed today. I’m going to jog a couple of routes and catch a couple of balls. ...” He completed the workout at the NFL scouting combine in February with a stress fracture in his left foot. He had surgery in March. Still, the Falcons made a big trade to move up 21 spots in the first round to select Jones. They gave up five picks and received one from the Cleveland Browns in the mega-deal. The team is expecting Jones to help provide some explosive plays on offense. Fantasy Football owners should expect the same with Jones working in tandem with Roddy White. The presence of veteran TE Tony Gonzalez will also work in Jones' favor.
