LT Cam Robinson sidelined with a hyperextended knee, per report

Jacksonville Jaguars fans have held their collective breaths since head coach Doug Marrone said Friday that starting left tackle Cam Robinson injured his right knee during practice on Thursday. But per James Palmer of NFL Network, Robinson's injury is ultimately a hyperextended knee that should not keep him out long-term.

#Jaguars LT Cam Robinson hyperextended his right knee in practice this week while setting up in pass pro. There is no structural damage, but he could miss a week to maybe a few weeks, per source. Backup Cedric Ogbuehi is also out with a hamstring, Will Richardson will start today

This is probably the best-case scenario for the team and Robinson after Marrone delivered the bad news about the injury Friday. Marrone said Robinson injured his right knee, which is not the knee he had surgery done on after a torn ACL ended his 2018 season.

“It was his other knee. He was just setting a pass protection, he wasn’t engaged, and the right knee just gave out. That’s it," Marrone said Friday.

Second-year lineman Will Richardson Jr. will start at left tackle in his first NFL start. Richardson was drafted as a right tackle and spent most of this year's training camp and preseason battling to start at right guard. If he performs well, the team could end up feeling much better about their depth up front than they did a week ago.
