Julio Jones insists he'll play on Monday Night despite a calf injury.

Jones was held out of practice on Thursday and Friday but returned on Saturday.

"Yes, I'll play Monday night," Jones said. "I wouldn't chance it if I didn't [feel right], if I felt like I was going to overcompensate and something else was going to get tore up or it was going to get worse or anything like that. It's just warming that muscle up, warming up everything, making sure everything is firing properly."

In between reps, Jones was spotted bouncing up and down as if to test and make sure his calf was fine.

"He looked explosive in and out of his breaks,'' Dan Quinn said of Saturday's practice. "He didn't get a lot of turns, but we kind of tried to feature him on the plays that he needed to see. We didn't do it just in the red zone. We did him on third down. We did it on first and second down to see where he was at. So, I'm encouraged.

"That was kind of the plan in the week: Could he do some of the walk-through? And then he kind of made a good turn yesterday and today to say, 'All right, let's give it a shot.' He's somebody that needs to go to really feel it.''

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to re-sign outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield.

Schofield took a physical at the team's facility Wednesday morning and met with the coaches.

"It's great to be back with the organization," Schofield said. "I'm ready to get back on the field and start competing."

Schofield, known as a vocal leader, is expected to fill the same strong-side linebacker role he played at the end of last season.

Julio Jones is fully "ready to go" for the Atlanta Falcons' season opener against the Buccaneers.

Jones injured an ankle in the third preseason game.

"Really, he was feeling good yesterday and today,'' Dan Quinn said after Friday's practice. "It was just an important part to stay true to the process of getting back where he's healthy and feeling right, make sure that he got the right stuff that he needs for the plays to make that connection between him and Matt [Ryan] feel right. He had a good week, and he's ready to go.''

Jones had the NFL's second-highest total for receiving yards in a season last year with 1,871 yards on 136 catches (eight touchdowns).
