Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is officially a game-time decision.
For those unaware, turf toe is an awful nagging injury that typically keeps players out for at least a week. As a receiver, Jones is essentially having to cut, burst and plant on sprained toe ligaments on every play -- not ideal for a team hoping to have him for the stretch run. It would not be an incredible surprise to see Quinn play it safe.
That being said, we are in crunch time and Jones has been a trooper so far this season. He leads the league in yards (1,253) and catches of 20 or more yards (24). A matchup nightmare, he could be enough to divert Jeff Fisher's defense at 75 percent.
These are the types of decisions big-time coaches and big-time players make down the stretch with the right medical advice. What is more enticing? A less than 100 percent Julio Jones the rest of the way, or no Julio Jones in a week when they cannot afford to lose?
