The Jacksonville Jaguars will need to adjust to life without wide receiver Allen Robinson in their lineup this season.
Head coach Doug Marrone confirmed Monday that Robinson suffered a torn left ACL during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN, and that surgery will be scheduled soon.
"What I think about is how hard A-Rob has worked, and how much he's put in," Marrone said on a conference call via the team's official website.
"I know what type of year he wanted to have. I think that’s the thing that gets me as a coach as much as anything. You watch a player who has done everything that you’ve asked him to do and was really set up for a great year. To sustain an injury, it's obviously a blow."
Robinson exited Sunday's game early in the first quarter and managed to walk off the field under his own power. However the team feared a serious injury after initial tests were done.
Marrone acknowledged Robinson's injury as a significant loss for the Jaguars moving forward, but added, "I have confidence in Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns to step up."
