FLOWERY BRANCH — Julio Jones describes his second return from right foot surgery as “a work in progress.” Regardless how many routes he runs in training camp or how many snaps he takes in preseason games, Jones has one primary goal — to be healthy when the Atlanta Falcons host New Orleans in the season opener Sept. 7. The Falcons are holding the 25-year-old Jones out of practice every other day to ensure a reasonable workload, and that’s fine with him.
