Falcons prepare for Jaguars back Denard Robinson

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- A quarterback will start at running back for the Jaguars on Sunday.

Jacksonville starter T.J. Yeldon missed practice again Friday and is doubtful for Sunday’s game against Atlanta with a strained left knee ligament.

Denard Robinson, who played quarterback at Michigan before Jacksonville drafted him in the fifth round in 2013, should handle the bulk of the Jags' carries out of the backfield.

Robinson set the NCAA career rushing record for a quarterback, jetting for 4,495 yards from 2009 to 2012. He set the single-season mark with 1,702 yards in 2010.
