Julio Jones to wait until training camp

Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith has hinted that wide receiver Julio Jones will not take part in any of the team's off-season duties until the start of training camp in July.

Smith said that, while Jones and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon were recovering well, they were not planning to bring them back before the end of July.

"Our focus is strictly on getting them ready to go for training camp," Smith told Ajc.com.

Jones has not played since week five of last season, while Weatherspoon was out of the team's final two games of the campaign.
