Julio Jones injury: Falcons WR hurts ankle, leaves game

The Falcons will likely be without their No. 2 receiver as they try to come back against the Cardinals.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is questionable to return after injuring his ankle in the team's game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Jones came off the field and said, "I'm done," according to Zach Klein of WSB Atlanta, so his return seems unlikely.

Jones had made three catches for 33 yards before heading to the sideline against the Cardinals. Jones was second on the team with 44 receptions for 703 yards and five touchdowns coming into the game.

The day has not gone well for Atlanta as quarterback Matt Ryan has struggled with four interceptions. Ryan’s most recent interception resulted in a field goal for visiting Arizona, who now hold a 19-16 fourth-quarter lead on the Falcons.

Atlanta comes into the game at 8-1 after suffering their first loss of the year last week against New Orleans. The Cardinals are 4-5 and attempting to snap a five-game losing streak.
