Despite missing two games with an injury during the 2016 season, former Alabama WR Julio Jones still caught 83 passes for 1,409 yards and six touchdowns for the Atlanta Falcons.

After the Falcons lost Super Bowl LI in heartbreaking fashion, Jones had surgery on his injured foot — something he’s become all too familiar with in recent years.

However, the rehab process seems to be going well, as Jones provided an update on his status on Tuesday.

Jones told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he’s taking his recovery slow to try to make sure he’s fully healthy when he returns:

“I’m just gradually getting back,” Jones said via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I’m not trying to press anything. I’ve got some time.”

He added that he isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary, but what he is doing is going well so far:

“It’s been great,” Jones said. “Just rehabbing. On course. Nothing special. Just doing norm things I usually do in the offseason.”

The Falcons will need Jones at 100 percent for most of the season in 2017 if they’re going to make a push for another Super Bowl berth.

Jones and his teammates will try to avoid the same fate the Carolina Panthers experienced after they lost to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Carolina went 6-10 in 2016 and failed to make the playoffs.
