Jones (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Despite repeating his activity level from Wednesday, Jones is "fine," according to head coach Dan Quinn. Jones' matchup Sunday against the Cowboys isn't the most friendly upon initial inspection -- Dallas' defense has given up 10.7 YPC and one touchdown to opposing wide receivers through two games -- but he so far ranks second in the league with 276 receiving yards.

Jones (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Falcons' official site reports.

Jones is dealing with the lingering effects of the hamstring injury that forced DNPs in practice last Wednesday and Thursday. However, the ailment didn't stop him from tearing apart the Giants' secondary Sunday, when he gathered in 13 catches (on 15 targets) for 135 yards. After two games, his 276 receiving yards rank second only to Antonio Brown.

Jones caught 13 of his 15 targets for 135 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

While a touchdown would have been the icing on the cake for fantasy owners, Jones put forth another excellent performance on Sunday. New offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's offense seems to be bringing the best out in Atlanta's No. 1, who has 21 catches for 276 yards and two touchdowns through two games. Jones and the Falcons will head to Dallas for a Week 3 matchup.

Jones (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Giants.

Jones was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the ailment, but he returned Friday and head coach Dan Quinn said Jones would play Sunday. The Giants have two strong cornerbacks, but Jones is one of the elite wideouts in the league, as he showed in Week 1 when he had nine catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles.

Jones (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Giants, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Jones didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said his star wideout will play in Sunday's game, with the sentiment backed by a Friday return to practice. The Giants have an above-average cornerback pairing in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara, but the rest of the defense appears suspect, and Jones has the advantage in nearly any matchup.

Jones (hamstring) returned to the practice field Friday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Jones sat out the previous two days to give his sore hamstring some rest, but he took the field Friday and appeared to be running normally, so it does not appear he is in danger of sitting out in Week 2. The Falcons will officially update Jones' status when they release their final injury report of the week Friday afternoon.

Jones didn't practice Thursday, but head coach Dan Quinn has no doubt that the wide receiver will play Sunday against the Giants in New York.

The potential exists for Jones to miss each practice this week in order to tend to a hamstring injury, but his designation on Friday's injury report will ultimately confirm or deny Quinn's expectations for Sunday's game.

Jones was listed as a non-participant on the Falcons' practice report Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

The soreness in Jones' leg has been confirmed as a hamstring issue, and while head coach Dan Quinn is unsure when, or if, the wideout will be able to practice this week, he's expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Giants in New York.

Jones didn't take part in practice Wednesday due to discomfort in his leg.

Jones torched the Eagles for 141 yards on nine catches Monday, yet he emerged with a leg issue. On a positive note, head coach Dan Quinn expects the wideout to be "ready" for Sunday's contest against the Giants in New York.

Jones enjoyed a spectacular season opener, catching nine passes (on 11 targets) for 141 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's win over the Eagles.

Jones overwhelmed the Eagles' secondary during the first half, scoring both of his touchdowns during the second quarter as the Falcons neared the end zone. First, Jones scored from four yards out, before later hauling in a well-timed 22-yard touchdown along the sideline. In the second half, Jones broke free for a game-long 44 yard completion, capping off a superb display to begin this season.

Jones has agreed to a five-year, $71.25 million extension with the Falcons, Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com reports.

The total potential value of the deal closely matches what Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas recently got, but Jones reportedly received $47 million guaranteed, easily surpassing his aforementioned positional counterparts and putting him into Calvin Johnson territory. In any case, Jones should be primed for a big season, as his talent is undeniable and there isn't much competition for targets. Even with defenses honing in on him, Jones rarely struggles to get open when he's healthy. His Falcons are facing the Dolphins in a preseason game Saturday night.

Jones caught 4-of-4 targets for 61 yards and a touchdowns in Friday's preseason opener against the Titans.

Jones only needed one drive and 10 snaps to produce a solid full-game stat line for most receivers. He appears to be more than ready for Week 1 but will likely still make another appearance or two during the preseason. Friday's game could be a sign of things to come, as Jones figures to rank among the league leaders in targets per game.

Jones believes he's added "another gear" to his arsenal this offseason, the Associated Press reports.

Jones believes the full offseason program has allowed him to add another speed, especially on "go" routes. Both Matt Ryan and fantasy owners would love to see Jones add the deep route to his repertoire, as his longest touchdown last season came from 40 yards.

The Falcons have yet to enter negotiations with Jones regarding a contract extension, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

The Falcons have indicated that they intend to keep Jones -- who is entering the last year of his deal with the team -- for the long haul, but to date there has been no reported movement on that front. The 26-year old wideout is coming off a stellar 2015 campaign in which he set a franchise record with 1,593 receiving yards, while hauling in a career-high 104 passes in spite of missing a game with an oblique injury. In any case, Jones is set to make $10.176 million in 2015, and barring an unforeseen development such as a serious injury, he's bound to earn a big payday with his next contract. For a little perspective, fellow elite wideouts Dez Bryant of Dallas and Demaryius Thomas both recently inked five-year extensions for $70 million, with more than $40 million guaranteed.

Jones (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Jones won't be 100 percent healthy, and the Panthers' secondary has been playing well, but are you really going to bench a guy with 555 receiving yards in his last three games? We didn't think so.

Jones (hip) is in line to play Sunday against the Panthers, NFL Network's Albert Breer reports.

Per the report, the Falcons feel so good about Jones' condition that they don't plan to test him out in pre-game warm-ups. We'll of course verify his status in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, but at this stage, Jones looks like a go for the contest, with the NFC South title on the line.

Jones (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

A final call on Jones' status is unlikely to come until game day, but with the NFC South title on the line, and Jones practicing Friday, fantasy owners and Falcons fans should be optimistic about him suiting up in Week 17.

Jones (hip) took part in Friday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's not clear how much work Jones was able to get in Friday, but his presence on the practice field bodes well for his chances of playing in Week 17. Expect an update on Jones' status when the Falcons release their final injury report of the week Friday afternoon.

Jones (hip) took part in Thursday's walkthrough but ultimately didn't practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

If he was a normal player, Jones would have two strikes against him in the form of missed practices to begin the week. While coach Mike Smith is unsure whether the wide receiver will make it three consecutive absences Friday, he expects Jones to suit up and contribute Sunday against the Panthers. Jones followed such a plan in Week 16, when he busted out for 107 yards on seven receptions, so owners shouldn't fret unless Smith's tone changes heading into the weekend.

Jones (hip) wasn't present at Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

If he indeed missed Thursday's entire slate of drills, it would mark Jones' second absence in a row, which is in line with last week's schedule. Because he was able to tough out his hip injury and play this past Sunday at New Orleans, he's set a precedent for active status after no activity in practice. No matter, his availability could receive clarity upon the release of Friday's injury report.
