Falcons' Freeman set to return Thursday, Jones questionable

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman "looks great" and will return from a foot injury Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints.

Freeman has missed the team's previous two contests, and the Falcons' running game is slumping as a result, with Atlanta recording 57 rushing yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday and 54 yards in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers.

While their top rusher is back, the Falcons' leading receiver is questionable for the Thanksgiving game. Quinn said Julio Jones will be a game-time decision, and his availability will come down to whether his ailing shoulder is at full strength and can take contact, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure.
