"Roddy White knows there will be growing pains for Julio Jones, the rookie wide receiver who had a tough day in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Texans.

Jones dropped several passes, including a potential game-tying catch in the end zone as time expired that bounced off his hands. He was penalized for illegal touching less than a minute earlier when he caught a pass after stepping out of bounds. Jones also was caught too far downfield following a play in the second half that forced the Falcons to call timeout.

Jones finished with four catches for 68 yards.

"You are going to have games like that," said White, the veteran receiver. "He's still a rookie. People have to understand that. It's still his first year in the league. He's still learning. That's just how it is when you bring young guys in and put them out there. Sometimes they get lost.""
