FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons’ fears were confirmed on Wednesday when a second medical opinion found star wide receiver Julio Jones’ foot injury will cause him to miss the remainder of the season.

Coach Mike Smith said Jones will have surgery on Monday, but the Falcons still did not release details of the injury.

Jones, the NFL’s leading receiver, injured his right foot in Monday night’s 30-28 loss to the New York Jets.

Smith had said Tuesday the first reports were not encouraging. Jones wanted a second opinion and was examined Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C.
