Falcons’ Julio Jones back at practice, might play Monday

Julio Jones joined practice for the first time this week, increasing his chances to play in the Atlanta Falcons’ game at New Orleans on Monday night.

After being held out on Thursday and Friday with a calf injury from last week’s win at Oakland, Jones was limited in Saturday’s practice. Coach Dan Quinn says the All-Pro receiver is no longer bothered by the ankle injury that slowed him before the calf injury.

Rookie strong safety Keanu Neal is expected to make his debut against the Saints. Neal, the first-round pick from Florida, had preseason arthroscopic knee surgery and missed the first two games.

Defensive end Brooks Reed (shoulder) was limited and receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) had full clearance.

Bosa to miss another game

Chargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa has been ruled out of his third consecutive game because of a hamstring injury. The Chargers (1-1) play at Indianapolis (0-2) on Sunday.

Bosa practiced only on a limited basis this week. The former Ohio State star missed all of training camp due to a nasty contract dispute, and then hurt a hamstring.

Star tight end Antonio Gates is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury. He didn’t practice all week.
