Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET the Atlanta Falcons will open up their preseason schedule against the Miami Dolphins, which can be live streamed by clicking this link. Falcons fans can listen to the action on 790 The Zone, while Dolphins fans can catch the radio broadcast on 560 WQAM.
Many will tune in to see the progress star Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has made from a broken foot he suffered in the midst of a huge 2013 campaign, but it isn't clear whether or not he'll be a go tonight.
According to reports, Jones did participate in a controlled practice against the Tennessee Titans on Monday, and wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie seems convinced he's healthy enough to play.
"It's just the fact that he's moving good," Robiskie said. "Most of the time guys who are coming off an injury, you've got that little gimp or you see a sense of it on a certain cut or a certain plant. It's good to just put in hard in the ground and just go. Or they can't put it down hard and go back on it.
"He's gliding. He's running. There hasn't been a sense that there's a (lack of) explosiveness. With Jules I've seen nothing (gimpy). But to say he's back 100 percent, I can't say that, but he's moving really, really good."
For the Dolphins, they'll be debuting an entirely re-made offensive line in the wake of the bullying scandal that enveloped their season last year. They'll also be coping with the loss of center Maurkice Pouncey for a chunk of time stretching into the regular season.
