The T.J. Yeldon and Chris Ivory tandem got off to a fast start this preseason, performing well against the New York Jets in the first game effort of 2016.
Both backs, expected to split the primary carry duties for the Jacksonville Jaguars, exerted their will on the defense. Ivory bullied his way for 24 yards on six carries and Yeldon managed 24 yards on just four carries. Combined they put up 48 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
That’s the kind of production the Jags have been looking for since signing Toby Gerhart as the primary back years ago.
