The Falcons host the Jaguars on Thursday night. Rookie receiver Julio Jones is listed as probable, but not because of a hamstring injury that has plagued him for weeks. Instead, Jones appears on the injury report only with a back injury.

Also probable are kicker Matt Bryant (illness), tackle Tyson Clabo (illness), receiver Harry Douglas (groin), defensive end Ray Edwards (neck), cornerback Christopher Owens (hand), and running back Michael Turner (groin).

Defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux (ankle), linebacker Stephen Nicholas (quadricep), and tackle Will Svitek (groin) are questionable.

Doubtful are cornerback Brent Grimes (knee) and cornerback Kelvin Hayden (toe).

Jones, who originally injured the hamsting on October 9, has missed three games this season. On Sunday against the Panthers, Jones caught three passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
