Jackson was on the practice field but did not have a helmet in the portion of Friday's practice that was open to reporters. Smith said all the players on the injury report were "participating in practice at some level."

"Julio is an integral part to our offense and our football team," coach Mike Smith said Friday. "He's very explosive. He creates explosive plays and he creates mismatches for defenses. It's going to be very important for us to create some explosive plays in the game this week."
Quarterback Matt Ryan said Jones impressed his teammates by playing through the injury last week.
The bigger injury question appears to be Jackson, whose status is questionable. He left last week's win at New Orleans with the quadriceps injury.
"I'm not there yet, I can tell you that," Jones said Friday when asked if he was close to 100 percent.
Jones earned his second Pro Bowl berth this year,Nike Air Max 1 Mens Trainers. His play has been a rare positive in a mostly disappointing season for the Falcons (6-9).
