We’ll know for sure soon, though.

10:35 a.m.: The latest information on Julio Jones is a little bit confusing.

There’s one report — from ESPN’s Vaughn McClure — indicating Jones will not play against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

However, another report — from NFL Media’s Jeff Darlington — seems to indicate Jones still will go through his running and will be a game-time decision.

We’ll have a definitive answer in less than an hour when the inactive lists are released at 11:30 a.m. ET.

9:50 a.m.: Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy is listed as probable, so it’s not a huge surprise that he’s expected to play. However, NFL Media’s Albert Breer reported Sunday morning that Lacy’s workload will be monitored (via ProFootballTalk.com).

9:35 a.m.: Here’s the latest on a couple of questionable wide receivers, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

First, on the Washington Redskins’ DeSean Jackson.

And the Houston Texans’ Andre Johnson.

8 a.m.: Julio Jones has been on some kind of a roll lately.

The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver has battled injuries all year, but had been healthy in recent weeks. The results have been insane, as Jones has racked up 21 catches for 448 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games.

However, Jones’ injury woes reappeared late in Atlanta’s loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Jones suffered a hip injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is still uncertain.

Here’s the latest on Jones via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Jones certainly isn’t the only question mark across the league Sunday. Here’s a list of notable players listed as questionable for the early slate of games.

TE Jermaine Gresham (Cincinnati)
WR Cordarrelle Patterson (Minnesota)
RB Reggie Bush (Detroit)
WR Andre Johnson (Houston)
TE Charles Clay (Miami)
WR DeSean Jackson (Washington)
