Despite a nagging hamstring injury, Falcons All-Pro receiver Julio Jones leads the NFL in receiving yards after Week 1.

Despite a nagging hamstring injury, Falcons All-Pro receiver Julio Jones leads the NFL in receiving yards after Week 1.

Jones is never one to complain and usually finds his way onto the field regardless of what injury he’s going through. According to Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn, Jones’ limited status in practice this week isn’t overly concerning for the team’s Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys.

“My concern level is low as long as his performance and strength feels right,” explained Quinn on Friday, per ESPN’s Vaughn McClure’s below tweet.

Jones had 157 receiving yards in Week 1, one of three Falcons wideouts to go over 100 yards in the game. Calvin Ridley finished with 130 yards and two touchdowns, while Russell Gage put up a career-high 114 yards.

Atlanta takes on a talented Dallas team with its own impressive trio of receivers this weekend. To beat the Cowboys, though, it will take a more balanced offensive attack.

Look for Falcons running back Todd Gurley to be more involved in the second half of Sunday’s matchup in Dallas.
