Denard Robinson figures to get his first chance to start this year Sunday because T.J. Yeldon listed as doubtful with his knee injury.

He was inactive for three games early in the season with a knee injury.

Robinson was a quarterback in college at Michigan.

Coach Gus Bradley said, “It’s hard when you get four-five carries a game and all of a sudden, he was really thrown into it and took advantage of it. I think he was very confident. It’s not like he lacks confidence but I think that opportunity really helped him.’’

Robinson gets another opportunity Sunday against an Atlanta defense rated 15th against the rush and gets a chance to show he can be an every down back.
