FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons had wide receiver Julio Jones back with full clearance for Thursdays practice, confirming the teams biggest star will be ready for Sundays opening game against Tampa Bay.Jones status for the opener was never really in doubt, even when he was held out of last weeks final preseason game with an ankle injury and was limited in Wednesdays practice.Even so, having the All-Pro practice without restrictions was comforting for coach Dan Quinn and the Falcons.He looked like Julio, which is a good thing for the Falcons, Quinn said.Added offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan after the practice: Julio always looks good.Jones is coming off one of the most prolific seasons in NFL history. Jones led the league with 1,871 yards receiving, the second-highest total in NFL history. Jones and Pittsburghs Antonio Brown shared the NFL lead with 136 catches.Asked if he is ready for the opener, Jones said, Of course. Everything is great.Jones role as a leader on the offense grew following the teams release of Roddy White, who holds most of Atlantas career receiving records.The Falcons signed Mohamed Sanu from Cincinnati to be the No. 2 receiver. Jones said he expects extra attention from defenses while Sanu, Justin Hardy, Eric Weems and Aldrick Robinson adjust to their roles in the offense.I feel like theyre going to try to double me and take me away from the game and make other guys prove themselves, Jones said. But I have all the faith in the world that those guys will prove themselves. ...
