Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver Julio Jones left the game in the fourth quarter of the team’s 36-20 playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday evening, but there should be no concern over his health moving forward.
Coach Dan Quinn provided an update on Jones after the game, citing he had aggravated a previous toe injury that kept him from playing in two games last month and that he could have stayed in the game had it been a closer contest.
“No concern at the moment,” Quinn said at his postgame press conference. “We’ll have more information on that later. It’ll be sore, but he’s certainly somebody that’s able to battle through it, so I anticipate him being ready to rock next week.”
The former first-round pick from Alabama finished the game with six receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Atlanta will play either the Dallas Cowboys or Green Bay Packers on Jan. 22 for a shot at the AFC champion in Super Bowl LI.
