Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon is listed as doubtful with a knee injury for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Yeldon sprained a ligament in his left knee last Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The injury prevented him from practicing but the Jaguars haven't yet ruled him out of the contest.

Third-year pro Denard Robinson has received the first-team practice workload and is in line to make his first start of the season.

"You just keep preparing like you always prepare," Robinson told reporters on Friday. "You don't change anything up. You just keep doing what you're doing."

Robinson had a season-best 75 yards on 14 carries and scored a touchdown while filling in for Yeldon against the Colts.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville will have middle linebacker Paul Posluszny back on the field after he missed the game against the Colts due to a broken right hand.

Posluszny will wear a protective cast and have the hand heavily wrapped.

"It's healed up really well," Posluszny told reporters. "I feel great moving around. I'll have to change techniques a little bit getting on and off blockers and when I'm tackling, I'll have to make sure I make as much contact as I can and wrap up."

Defensive end Ryan Davis (knee) was listed as doubtful. He missed last week's game against the Colts.
