After being held out of practice on Wednesday due to the knee injury he has been managing most of the season, wide receiver Julio Jones was a full participant in Thursday’s workout. Jones played a season-high 39 offensive snaps in Week Eight against the Ravens, serving as the primary addition to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in three-receiver sets. Jones assumed that role usually filled by Russell Gage due to a hamstring injury that kept Gage out of the game. The same injury has also kept Gage from practicing so far this week.
Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. practiced, in a limited fashion, for the first time since sustaining a concussion against the Carolina Panthers in Week Seven. That doesn’t necessarily mean Winfield will clear the NFL’s concussion protocol in time for Sunday’s game against the Rams, but a return to practice is one of the necessary steps in that protocol.
Quarterback Tom Brady and defensive lineman Will Gholston were given the day off for rest.
