FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Falcons coach Dan Quinn updated star receiver Julio Jones’ injury as a sprained toe instead of turf toe on Wednesday, putting a more optimistic outlook on the injury. Jones missed Wednesday’s practice after being held out of last week’s 42-14 win over the Rams. The update reflects the team’s optimism that Jones, who leads the NFL in yards receiving, is not facing an extended absence.
