Falcons WR Jones practices, could play Monday night

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones joined practice for the first time this week, increasing the chances he’ll play at New Orleans on Monday.

After being held out Thursday and Friday with a calf injury suffered in the victory last week at Oakland, Jones was limited in practice Saturday. Coach Dan Quinn said Jones no longer is bothered by the ankle injury that slowed him before the calf injury.

Rookie strong safety Keanu Neal is expected to make his debut against the Saints. Neal, the first- round pick from Florida, had knee surgery in the preseason and missed the first two games.

Browns lose another player

The Browns put kicker Patrick Murray on injured reserve after he hurt his surgically repaired left knee during the walkthrough Friday, forcing them to sign Cody Parkey to handle their kicking duties Sunday at Miami.

With Murray’s injury, the Browns have lost six starters after the first two games this season: Quarterbacks Robert Griffin III ( broken hand), Josh McCown ( broken collarbone), center Cam Erving ( bruised lung), wide receiver Corey Coleman ( broken hand) and defen- sive end Carl Nassib ( broken hand).

Saints LT Armstead ruled out

Saints left tackle Terron Armstead, one of the NFL’s top young linemen in recent years, was ruled out for the game Monday against the Falcons with an unspecified knee injury. He was on the injury report in the first two weeks but played in both games.
