Doug Pederson ended the suspense on Monday. He was asked at his press conference if James Robinson will be playing this weekend and he said that the veteran is set to be in the lineup.
Assuming nothing happens to either player in the next few days, that will set the Jaguars up to have Robinson and Travis Etienne in the lineup at the same time for the first time. Etienne missed all of last season with a foot injury.
This is been the trend for a while, so now the question is what will be the split. One would think Etienne would be the safe play, especially with his expected work in the passing game. But some who follow the team have suggested, eventually, Robinson will have the RB1 role. This will be something to monitor as the week goes on, but be sure to follow our rankings right up to game time.
