The Atlanta Falcons (3-8) will play the New Orleans Saints (9-2) on Thursday in the NFL’s prime-time slot on Thanksgiving.
After Wednesday’s practice, the Falcons listed wide receiver Julio Jones as questionable with a shoulder injury. Jones will be a game-time decision on Thursday, but the team has a backup plan if he cant play, according to offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
Defensive end Takk McKinley is questionable as well after being limited in practice all week, and playing only a small portion of the team’s defensive snaps in Week 12.
The Falcons got some good news, though, with starting running back Devonta Freeman set to return on Thursday after a two-game absence. Check out Atlanta’s complete Week 13 injury report for their Thanksgiving showdown with New Orleans below.
