The Facts:
The Falcons are waiting for Jones‘ foot to heal enough for him to make a full return to the practice field, but it doesn’t sound like that is going to happen until the team gathers for training camp this summer. Atlanta has OTAs this week and their mandatory minicamp next week, which doesn’t leave Jones much time to take part in a full practice before the off-season program comes to an end and he told SI.com that he doesn’t expect that his recovery will come to an end before that point. Jones is confident that the extended rehab time isn’t putting anything at risk come the regular season. “Week 1, I’ll be ready to go,” Jones said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Which has pretty much been
the company line in Atlanta. So this isn't really new -- it's just the first time we've heard Jones himself toe the company line. ... The star wideout also said that he’s been running routes and that his foot “feels really good” when he plants on it while going through his workouts. He’s working on getting his stamina back up after such a long spell out of action, which, as PFT suggests, is good news for an Atlanta team that will likely lean heavily on the talented receiver they missed so much last season. And that in turn, will be good news for fantasy football owners hoping to do the same.
