Atlanta coach Mike Smith is expected to address reports that former Foley High School football star Julio Jones suffered a season-ending foot injury during the Falcons' game on Monday night when he holds a press conference at 1:30 p.m. CDT Tuesday.
Jones, who starred collegiately at Alabama, missed by 1 yard recording his fourth consecutive game with at least 100 receiving yards in the 30-28 loss to the New York Jets on Monday night.
Jones finished with eight catches for 99 yards to give him 41 receptions for 580 yards in 2013. He leads the NFL in receptions and is second in receiving yards to New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham this season. That's even though he's been limited in practice and listed as questionable on the Falcons' injury report for the past four weeks with a knee issue.
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports and the Atlanta Journal Constitution were among the outlets reporting Jones' foot injury without offering specifics.
The loss on Monday night dropped the Falcons to 1-4 after they played in the NFC championship game last season.
