Jackson will start at running back Sunday in Atlanta, Duke Bobber of the Packers' official site reports.
Jackson was contained to two carries for six yards in his NFL debut, which was precipitated by injuries to both Eddie Lacy (ankle) and James Starks (knee). In the same Thursday night outing versus the Bears, Ty Montgomery led the backfield with nine rushes and also chipped in 10 receptions. However, an illness has forced the Packers to place Montgomery on the inactive list Sunday, paving the way for Jackson to earn the start. Jackson will only have to contend with Knile Davis for carries, but his touches may be limited if the offense employs a pass-heavy approach for the second consecutive game.
