There’s a bogus rumor making the rounds on the Internet that Falcons receiver Julio Jones broke both legs in a car accident on Friday night.

Key word: Bogus.

The Falcons alerted us to the rumor, and the team says that Jones is at practice and smiling and happy. (Not bad for a guy with two broken legs.)

We’ve since seen the report and it’s clearly a hoax. Don’t even waste your time searching for the link.

Bottom line? He’ll be on the field Monday night, and the Broncos defensive backs may feel like their own legs are broken as they try to keep up with him.
