When the Atlanta Falcons face off against the Green Bay Packers this weekend, expect to see a lot more of Jerious Norwood. With the Falcons giving starting back Warrick Dunn the day off, they will start T.J. Duckett and then slowly transition to Jerious near the half, with him getting expensive playing time.

“We’re going to give T.J. the first quarter and into the second quarter and Jerious the rest of the game, basically,” Mora said. “We’ll spell him with Marvin Jackson.”

Jerious had a great start in the Falcons preseason game against the Patriots with 70+ yards receiving on 2 passes and 1 touchdown. He also rushed 7 times for 22 yards.
