The Atlanta Falcons thrashed the Las Vegas Raiders 43-6 last Sunday without Julio Jones and Todd Gurley. They may or may not have the duo back vs. the New Orleans Saints this week.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Jones and Gurley could play in Sunday's game, though both are listed as questionable.

Jones hit the practice field on Friday and admitted that he was feeling "really good" ahead of the weekend, indicating that his return is imminent. Gurley also practiced on Friday, though he didn't comment on his game status.

In eight games this season, Jones has reeled in 45 catches for 677 yards and three touchdowns. He's been dealing with hamstring issues throughout the year and missed time earlier in the season because of it.

Gurley has appeared in 10 games this year, missing just last weekend's game against the Raiders. The 26-year-old has 167 carries for 610 yards and nine touchdowns this season.

If both players aren't able to participate against the Saints, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, Brian Hill and Ito Smith will likely see more snaps at their respective positions.
