The Facts: Jones, who's recovering from offseason foot surgery, is set to return to the field during training camp. "He's healed up very, very well," general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "We are ready for him to jump into camp. I'm don't know the exact rep count, but as you know. Julio will do what he feels he can do. ... He's so competitive when he gets back on the field. We'll continue to monitor him."

Diehards Line: The Falcons report on Wednesday and the first practice is Thursday. Jones will likely be limited, but the fact there haven't been any setbacks is a good sign. Jones began jogging in March and the initial 4-5 month recovery falls into line with the start of camp. Jones worked on stability, balance and stretching, along with running and lifting, in his rehab. He missed two games in 2016 but still finished with 83 catches for 1,409 yards and six touchdowns. ... We'll have a close eye on his progress in coming weeks.
