The wide receiver the Atlanta Falcons traded up to take in the first round of the NFL draft is healthy and hard at work.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Falcons rookie receiver Julio Jones has been a regular at player-organized workouts since he was cleared by a foot specialist in Charlotte.

Jones had one of the most impressive performances of any player at any position at the NFL Scouting Combine despite running with a broken bone in his foot. That performance was part of the reason the Falcons gave up a bounty of draft picks to move into position to select Jones.

The Falcons have been averaging about 30 players in attendance at their workouts.
