Caught up in roster cuts
The Saints released Robinson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Robinson, who played only one game in 2023 and 11 contests in 2022, couldn't carve out a reserve role for himself behind Alvin Kamara in New Orleans' backfield despite Kendre Miller (hamstring) missing most of training camp and Jamaal Williams having been notably unproductive last season. Since suffering an Achilles tear back in 2021, Robinson has bounced between multiple organizations in the league. He'll look to earn another practice squad opportunity for the 2024 campaign, whether with the…read more

Gets reserve/future deal with NO
The Saints signed Robinson due to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Robinson is a four-year veteran with 2,264 career regular-season rushing yards to his name, though nearly half of those came in his rookie season in 2020. An Achilles tear suffered in Week 16 of 2021 derailed his once-promising career, and the Illinois State product has played in only 12 games over the past two seasons, spending almost all of 2023 on Green Bay's practice squad. Robinson joined New Orleans' practice squad in mid-December, and the organization apparently liked what they saw from…read more

Joins Saints' practice squad
The Saints signed Robinson to their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Prior to the Packers cutting him from their practice squad last Tuesday, Robinson made one appearance for the team, handling one carry for two yards and hauling in his only target for minus-2 yards during a Week 13 win against the Chiefs. Upon joining a new squad, he'll be a part of a Saints backfield that's banged-up behind Alvin Kamara, with Jamaal Williams (groin) limited at Wednesday's practice and Kendre Miller (ankle) again sitting out. Robinson likely doesn't have enough time to…read more

Times with Green Bay ends
Robinson was cut from the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Robinson has been let go from, then brought back by, Green Bay multiple times this season. However, this time he was let go to make room for another running back, Kenyan Drake, on the practice squad. Whether Robinson will get another chance with the Packers remains to be seen.

Back to practice squad
Robinson reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Robinson appeared in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs, producing two yards on his only carry while reeling in a catch for minus-2 yards. With Aaron Jones (knee) potentially unavailable again in Week 14, the running back could be asked to rejoin the active roster again versus the Giants.

Joins active roster
The Packers elevated Robinson to their active roster Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Green Bay will be without both Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) in Week 13, so Robinson's elevation will ensure depth at running back behind AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor. Robinson's most recent action came in 2022 with the Jets and Jaguars, when he logged 476 total yards on 121 touches.

Staying in Green Bay
The Packers signed Robinson to their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Robinson was waived from Green Bay's active roster Monday but will now rejoin the team, albeit on the practice squad. The 25-year-old will serve as an insurance option at running back as both Aaron Jones (MCL) and AJ Dillon (groin) are dealing with injuries.

Cut by Green Bay
The Packers waived Robinson on Monday.

Comes up from practice squad
The Packers signed Robinson from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Robinson spent about three weeks on Green Bay's practice squad spanning the second half of October and the first week of November. After the Packers backfield endured injuries to its top three options Sunday against the Chargers, Robinson was brought back to the practice squad and now will get a chance on the active roster. With Aaron Jones tending to a sprained MCL and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) on injured reserve, Robinson and Patrick Taylor seemingly will be the options behind AJ Dillon…read more

Rejoins practice squad
The Packers signed Robinson to their practice squad Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers are desperate for backfield help after losing Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) to injuries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. It could be a challenge for Jones and Wilson to be ready to play in Thursday's divisional showdown against the Lions. Robinson joins Ellis Merriweather as running backs on Green Bay's practice unit.

Cut from Packers' practice squad
Green Bay cut Robinson from its practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Joins Green Bay's practice squad
Green Bay signed Robinson to its practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Since being cut by the Giants ahead of the regular season, Robinson had worked out for multiple teams before Green Bay opted to bring him aboard. The 25-year-old will begin his tenure with the Packers on the practice squad, but he could be promoted to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos if Aaron Jones (hamstring) isn't healthy coming out of Green Bay's Week 6 bye. Robinson ran for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns with the Jaguars as an undrafted rookie in 2020 but has…read more

Works out for Green Bay
Robinson worked out with the Packers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Robinson visited the Packers on Monday, working out for a second team since being let go by the Giants in late August. The running back has struggled to find steady work over the last season-plus, appearing in 11 games with the Jaguars and Jets last year while compiling 425 rushing yards on 110 total carries. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon already in-house for the Packers, Robinson would likely have to earn his shot with the practice squad prior to being elevated to the active roster.

Works out for Colts
Robinson worked out with the Colts on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson has been let go by two teams (the Patriots and Giants) in recent months, but with Jonathan Taylor (ankle/PUP) set to miss at least the first four games of the season and Zack Moss recovering from a broken arm, the Colts could be looking to add some backfield depth. The team's current healthy RB options are Deon Jackson and Evan Hull, along with practice-squad members Jake Funk and Jason Huntley.

Waived by Big Blue
The Giants waived Robinson on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2020 UDFA was a productive back during his first two years in Jacksonville but suffered an Achilles injury in December 2021. Since then, Robinson has spent time with the Jets, Patriots and Giants, but he's never looked like the dynamic back he was early in his career. The 25-year-old is now free to join another team, but the days of him being a coveted free agent are likely over.

Leads reserves in rushing
Robinson rushed 10 times for 55 yards (no targets) in Saturday's 32-24 preseason loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Robinson was the second back to enter Saturday's exhibition with starter Saquon Barkley and primary backup Matt Breida sitting this one out. Jashaun Corbin started ahead of the veteran and scored the Giants' lone rushing touchdown Saturday. Robinson is currently one of several backs vying for one of New York's final roster spots ahead of the regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept. 10.

No burst in debut with Big Blue
Robinson rushed six times for nine yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Friday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Lions.
Analysis: With starter Saquon Barkley resting, Robinson was the second running back into the game after Matt Breida. Robinson's inability to find any running room in this one won't quell concerns that his ability has been permanently diminished by the Achilles tear he suffered late in the 2021 season. He averaged just 2.9 yards per carry after being traded from the Jaguars to the Jets last season and was waived by New England three months after signing with the Patriots in the offseason. Robinson's…read more

Practicing at Giants camp
Robinson (undisclosed) participated in Thursday's practice, Matt Citak of the Giants' official website reports.
Analysis: Robinson was cut by New England earlier in the offseason after was unable to stay healthy during OTAs. Injuries have sapped Robinson of his explosiveness, but he landed with the G-Men in late July and will compete for a backup job behind Saquon Barkley, Matt Breida, and presumably, rookie Eric Gray.

Plans to join Big Blue
Robinson (undisclosed) is slated to sign with the Giants on Friday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Robinson presumably has to pass a physical before the deal is completed. The undrafted product out of Illinois State started 27 of 28 games for Jacksonville prior to tearing his Achilles late in Dec. 2021. He returned for Week 1 of 2022 and was productive through three games, totaling 263 yards and four scores, but he struggled after that and was eventually traded to the Jets. Robinson was a nonfactor for New York, but he still landed a two-year deal with the Patriots in March, only to be let…read more

Struggling to stay healthy
Robinson struggled to stay healthy for spring practices prior to the Patriots waiving him Monday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: No specific injury is mentioned, but Robinson's career trajectory largely seems a product of the Achilles tear he suffered late in Dec. 2021 toward the end of his second season. The 2020 UDFA started 27 of his 28 games for Jacksonville prior to the severe injury, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 65.6 rushing yards per game (plus 20.2 receiving yards). Robinson made it back for Week 1 of 2022 just nine months after the Achilles tear and had 263 total yards and four TDs over his first three…read more

Let go by New England
The Patriots waived Robinson on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Robinson signed a two-year contract with New England this offseason, but there was no guaranteed money included in the deal due to the running back's health concerns. If he clears waivers, the Illinois State product will be free to sign with any team that shows interest. The 24-year-old rushed for 1,837 yards and 15 touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons in Jacksonville, but he struggled to stay healthy last year, totaling 425 rushing yards across 11 appearances split between the Jaguars and…read more

Competing for role behind Stevenson
Robinson, who believes he's fully past the Achilles injury that he sustained at the end of the 2021 season, is slated to have a chance to compete for the Patriots' No. 2 RB role behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Robinson, who turns 25 in August, rushed for 1,070 yards in 2020 after signing with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent. However, since then Jacksonville's first-round selection of Travis Etienne in 2021, coupled with injuries Robinson has dealt with, have thwarted his momentum as a pro, and the Illinois State product now is looking to reboot his career with New England (with whom he signed a two-year deal with modest guarantees in March) after seeing limited action down the stretch last…read more

Gets two-year deal with New England
Robinson agreed to a two-year contract with the Patriots on Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Robinson's deal can be worth up to $8 million with incentives. After bursting onto the scene with 1,847 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns across his first two professional seasons with Jacksonville, Robinson struggled during an injury riddled 2022 campaign, mustering just 425 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in 11 appearances between the Jaguars and Jets. He tore his Achilles late in the 2021 season and battled a knee injury in 2022, but the Patriots are hoping that Robinson will regain…read more

Won't receive contract tender
The Jets are not on line to extend a contract tender to Robinson, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After coming over from Jacksonville in an October trade, Robinson didn't make much of an impact with his new team, finishing the 2022 season with 110 carries for 425 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 catches for 51 yards and a pair of receiving scores in 11 games split between the Jaguars and Jets.

Non-factor after trade to NY
Robinson finished the 2022 season with 110 carries for 425 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games split between the Jaguars and Jets. He added 11 catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets.
Analysis: Robinson got off to a strong start in Jacksonville with four scrimmage touchdowns through three games, but he struggled the rest of the season while battling a sore knee and was consistently inactive due to coach's decisions down the stretch with the Jets. The 24-year-old running back will be a restricted free agent this offseason, but New York may not have much interest in retaining his services given his poor play after being acquired in a midseason trade. Robinson had 22 scrimmage touchdowns…read more

Four carries in Week 13
Robinson rushed four times for 10 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Michael Carter's absence due to an ankle injury paved the way for Robinson to suit up after he was a healthy scratch for the Jets' previous game, but the former Jacksonville running back still saw minimal usage. Zonovan Knight rushed 15 times for 90 yards in the lead role, demonstrating the type of tough running the Jets have been hoping for but have yet to see out of Robinson. Even if Carter remains out in Week 14 against the Bills, Robinson's usage will likely remain minimal.

Part of Week 13 committee
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Robinson is expected to be part of a three-man backfield committee Sunday against the Vikings that also includes Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Jets made Robinson a surprise healthy inactive ahead of last week's game against the Bears, with Michael Carter, Knight and Johnson serving as the team's backfield options in the 31-10 win. Carter suffered a low-ankle sprain in the second half of that contest and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, and with the Jets already proceeding as though Carter will be out, Robinson will re-enter the mix as at least a No. 3 option. Because Knight (17 touches for 103 yards) and Johnson (six for…read more

Role uncertain moving forward
Coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that "no one has seen the last of" Robinson, though Saleh wouldn't commit to Robinson playing Sunday against the Vikings after the running back was scratched in the Week 12 win over the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight made his NFL debut with Robinson out of the picture last week, and Knight made the most of the opportunity with 103 scrimmage yards. The Jets may not have the option to use the same trio of Knight, Ty Johnson and Michael Carter from that 31-10 win over the Bears, as Carter's status against Minnesota is in doubt due to an ankle injury. If Carter sits out, Robinson would presumably re-enter the rotation. Robinson was surprised at the decision to scratch him, which…read more

Healthy scratch against Bears
Robinson is listed as inactive Week 12 against the Bears.
Analysis: Robinson was brought in as a mid-season acquisition following Breece Hall's season-ending knee injury, but he has yet to make much of an impact on the Jets offense. He'll now end up a healthy scratch, with Michael Carter set to lead the backfield and Ty Johnson set to serve as the primary backup. Rookie running back Zonovan Knight is also active for the contest.

Limited impact since trade to NY
Robinson rushed seven times for 10 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 10-3 loss to New England.
Analysis: New York badly missed the big play ability of Breece Hall, who's out for the season due to a torn ACL. Robinson's power inside and Michael Carter's speed can trouble weaker defenses, such as the Chicago unit the Jets will face in Week 12, but Hall brought both elements prior to getting hurt. Since being brought in via trade from Jacksonville, Robinson has rushed for 75 yards on 25 attempts for the Jets, averaging exactly three yards per carry. Carter has 121 yards and a touchdown on 27 attempts…read more

Scores go-ahead TD against Bills
Robinson (knee) rushed 13 times for 48 yards while catching both of his targets for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Robinson didn't find much running room in the first half, but holes started opening up after halftime. He scored on a screen pass from seven yards out to give the Jets a 17-14 lead, and Robinson ripped off consecutive runs of nine, seven and 16 yards to begin a 13-play, 86-yard drive that chewed up 6:10 of the clock and all three of Buffalo's timeouts before culminating in a go-ahead, 28-yard field goal.

Robinson (knee) is active Week 9 against the Bills.

That will be confirmed with the official inactives report, which clears Robinson to contribute as much as his health will allow.

Analysis: Prior to his trade from the Jaguars to the Jets on Oct. 24, Robinson was dealing with a sore knee, according to his old coach Doug Pederson. But Robinson avoided Week 8 practice reports with his new team and suited up last Sunday versus the Patriots, turning a 21 percent snap share into five carries for 17 yards. He did the same during Week 9 prep until the Jets added him to the report Saturday as questionable due to a knee injury. Assuming he's active Sunday, as expected, Robinson seems…read more

Game-time decision, team optimistic
Robinson (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Bills, but the Jets are optimistic about his chances of suiting up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Robinson is officially listed as questionable after having been added to New York's injury report late this week with a knee issue. After handling just five carries in his Jets debut last week, Robinson's status for Sunday may not be disclosed until the team's injury report is released approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight would stand to handle increased opportunities behind Michael Carter if Robinson isn't able to go.

Added to injury report
Robinson (knee) was added to Saturday's injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Robinson saw just five carries in his Jets debut last week, but that could easily be attributed to a surprisingly pass-heavy game script. A combination of Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight likely would take over the between-the-tackle carries with Michael Carter operating the larger share of the backfield committee if the former Jaguars running back were to be sidelined. Expect more information on Robinson's status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Used sparingly in Jets debut
Robinson rushed five times for 17 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Robinson didn't make much of an impact in his first game with the Jets, as New York went to a more pass-heavy game plan after losing running back Breece Hall to a season-ending ACL tear. As Robinson familiarizes himself with the offense, the trade acquisition from Jacksonville is likely to take on a larger role with his new team, but another negative game script could lead to limited rushing attempts in Week 9 against the Bills.

Robinson will officially make his Jets debut Week 8 against the Patriots.
Analysis: While it's unclear exactly what type of role Robinson will have in his first game since getting traded from the Jaguars, it sounds like he'll at least be involved in the offense in some capacity. Michael Carter is in line to serve as the likely top back following the season-ending knee injury to Breece Hall, but Robinson will look to cement a role behind him and potentially earn a larger one moving forward.

Robinson will be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though head coach Robert Saleh played coy when asked about Robinson's availability for Week 8 following his acquisition from the Jaguars on Monday, the running back looks like he'll have at least a small role in the Jets' game plan Sunday.

Analysis: Robinson has practiced all week with the Jets after being acquired in a trade Monday, but it remains to be seen whether he has mastered enough of the playbook to take the field. If he plays against New England, Robinson will likely work in a rotation with Michael Carter and Ty Johnson. Once Robinson's up to speed, he's expected to settle into a platoon with Carter.

However, Robinson said Wednesday that he's healthy at this stage, likely setting him up to make his Jets debut in Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, according to Cimini.

Robinson (knee) passed his physical with the Jets and is slated to practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson was reportedly dealing with some knee soreness last week, but the issue won't prevent him from taking part in practice with his new team after he was acquired from the Jaguars on Monday. That said, head coach Robert Saleh told Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site that at this stage, Robinson isn't yet a lock to play Week 8 against the Patriots. The Jets want to evaluate where the running back is at in terms of learning the playbook by the end of the week before deciding on his…read more

Traded to Gang Green
Robinson (knee) has been traded to the Jets for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2023, which becomes a fifth-rounder if he reaches 600 rushing yards this season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The details of the trade have been confirmed, and Robinson is heading to New York, where he'll likely take over as the top option in a backfield that includes Michael Carter and Ty Johnson following Breece Hall's season-ending knee injury. Robinson had begun to lose touches to Travis Etienne in Jacksonville but should see an uptick in usage for the 5-2 Jets, who primarily rely on their defense and running game. He already has 340 rushing yards on the campaign, so Jacksonville will get a…read more

Being traded to Jets
The Jets are slated to trade a sixth-round draft pick that can become a fifth-rounder to the Jaguars in exchange for Robinson (knee), Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: With that, Robinson is in line to work in tandem with Michael Carter in the Jets backfield in the wake of Breece Hall's season-ending knee injury. Meanwhile, the deal cements Travis Etienne as Jacksonville's clear-cut top back in the coming weeks.

Dealing with knee soreness
Coach Doug Pederson revealed Monday that Robinson has been dealing with knee soreness, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Robinson wasn't on the injury report heading into Jacksonville's 23-17 Week 7 loss to the Giants, but he didn't get a carry and was targeted only once. The lack of usage can be traced back to discomfort in his knee, though it's unclear how much this issue is expected to hamper Robinson moving forward. Robinson's practice participation will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 8 visit from the Broncos.

No carries in Week 7 loss
Robinson didn't log a carry and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Robinson barely played while Travis Etienne turned 14 carries and five targets into 119 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. After the game, coach Doug Pederson said the team still has confidence in Robinson but wanted to make sure he's 100 percent, suggesting an injury could be responsible for his limited role in the loss. Robinson's practice participation before the team's Week 8 matchup with the Broncos should help illuminate his availability.

Team-high carry total in loss
Robinson rushed 12 times for 54 yards and secured his only target for one yard in the Jaguars' 34-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Robinson's carry total was a team-high figure, although backfield mate Travis Etienne was only two rush attempts behind him and outgained him by 32 yards. Robinson was at least more efficient Sunday against a tough defense after gaining just 56 yards on 18 carries over his last two games, and he'll aim to continue climbing in a Week 7 home battle versus the Giants.

Struggles again in loss
Robinson rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Robinson was outperformed by Travis Etienne (13 touches for 114 yards) for the second week in a row, despite both backs getting a nearly even split in touches. This trend doesn't bode well for the veteran of the duo, as Robinson saw most of his fantasy production this season come from a three-game burst to open the year. The 2-3 Jaguars will face a tough defense on the road against the Colts next Sunday, making Robinson a touchdown-dependent flex play at best.

Bottled up on eight carries
Robinson rushed eight times for 29 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in a 29-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Robinson split carries with Travis Etienne Jr. (eight carries for 32 yards), and neither back finished with a catch. Robinson has been the unexpected workhorse for Jacksonville early on, and this was his first dud of the season. However, Sunday's even touch distribution between both backs in a rough offensive showing may spark pessimism about Robinson's season-long outlook. Etienne hasn't done much to threaten Robinson's starting job, so the latter should still be considered the lead back…read more

Reaches century mark Sunday
Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The third-year running back likely would have posted even bigger numbers, but he ceded work to Travis Etienne late in a blowout win. A big chunk of Robinson's production came on a 50-yard TD scamper in the third quarter that broke the game open, marking the third straight game in which he's found the end zone. As long as he keeps impressing, he should remain atop the depth chart despite Etienne's first-round pedigree, and Robinson could see a heavy workload in Week 4 as the Jaguars try to keep…read more

Dominates touches
Robinson carried the ball 23 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts. He added two receptions for 14 yards.
Analysis: Robinson was reportedly set to be in a timeshare with Travis Etienne, yet he earned 25 touches to Etienne's 12. Unfortunately, Robinson wasn't particularly efficient with his opportunity, though he did rip off a 37-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter. Through two games, Robinson has clearly operated as the top back in Jacksonville's backfield and has 147 total yards and three touchdowns to show for it.

Workload split awaits
Robinson and Travis Etienne are expected to split the snaps and touches out of the backfield in Sunday's game against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Game flow will likely dictate the extent to which both Robinson and Etienne are used, but the Jaguars seem content to have a roughly even timeshare in place for the second week in a row. Each back logged 31 offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Commanders, but Robinson (11 carries and one reception for 69 total yards and two touchdowns) handily outproduced Etienne (four carries and two receptions for 65 yards) from a fantasy perspective.

Robinson (Achilles) rushed 11 times for 66 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for three yards and another score in Sunday's 28-22 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Robinson was removed from the injury report before the game despite suffering a torn Achilles last December. The 2020 waiver-wire sensation didn't appear limited at all, quickly outplaying Travis Etienne Jr. (initially named starter by the team) and taking over most of the work in the second half.

Robinson (Achilles) isn't listed on the Jaguars' Week 1 injury report and could have a significant role Sunday against Washington, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Doug Pederson made it sound as though Robinson has no limitations, apart from the presumption of backfield mate Travis Etienne also handling a large role. Pederson further suggested that usage of the two backs could depend on both game plans and game context, noting that there are some situations where he likes to "control the pace of play with a guy like James."

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Robinson (Achilles) will take the field during Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson has managed an impressive recovery from a left Achilles tear sustained late last December. That said, exactly how involved Robinson will be versus Washington remains uncertain, as the Jaguars also have 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne back to full health after having missed his rookie year due to a Lisfranc injury.

Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson mentioned the same goal when he spoke about Robinson a week earlier, though the running back still hasn't been cleared for contact in practice. Travis Etienne figures to lead the Jacksonville backfield early in the year, but Robinson has a shot to be involved from the jump and could see more work as he acclimates. If he does end up missing games, 2022 fifth-round pick Snoop Conner appears on track for the third spot on the depth chart behind Etienne and Robinson.

He'll be held out of Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, but don't be surprised if the running back is back to full practice participation as soon as next week.

Robinson (Achilles) took some reps, including running routes, during 7-on-7 drills at Monday's practice, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson sustained a partial tear of his left Achilles back on Dec. 26, but he made enough progress in his recovery that he avoided the PUP list entirely at the start of training camp. Since then, he's been ramping up his workload slowly but surely, getting occasional reps with the first-team offense, but he wasn't available for either of the Jaguars' first two preseason games.

Analysis: Robinson is in the process of recovering from a torn left Achilles' tendon, so it's no surprise that he'll sit this one out as the team continues to manage his training-camp workload. At this stage it's unclear if he'll see any reps in either of Jacksonville's next two preseason contests, but once Robinson returns to 100 percent, he'll look to regain a key role in a Jaguars backfield that he led last season while Travis Etienne was sidelined with a foot injury.

Analysis: The 23-year-old began running in his rehab program in mid-June, but it's unclear what kind of progress he's made over the past week. Robinson likely won't be ready for the start of training camp in a month, but he'll still have six more weeks to get healthy before Jacksonville's season opener Sept. 11. Even if he's cleared for Week 1, Robinson could have a limited workload early in the season. Regardless, Travis Etienne is likely to begin the season as the Jaguars' No. 1 tailback.

Analysis: Per Rapoport, the assumption earlier in the week was that the running back likely wouldn't play, but Robinson is reportedly feeling better and now has a chance to suit up, a notion echoed by an Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. How his pre-game workout goes will therefore determine Robinson's status, which will be known when Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Robinson is out this week, Carlos Hyde would see an increased role in the team's backfield.

Gets Week 13 designation
The Jaguars list Robinson (heel/knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Robinson has been tending to the pair of injuries for more than a month, but he's suited up in each of the Jaguars' last three games. Though he's seen his snaps scaled back in those contests compared to earlier in the season, Robinson hasn't had to sacrifice many touches, as he's averaging 13.7 carries and four targets during that three-game stretch. Though he was limited in all three of the Jaguars' practices this week, expect Robinson to ultimately avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's…read more

Logs limited practice session
Robinson (heel/knee) was listed by the Jaguars as a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Initial reports suggested that Robinson wasn't present for Thursday's practice, but evidently the running back was able to fit some work in after all and thus logged a limited session. If he's able to practice fully Friday, Robinson could approach Sunday's game against the Rams minus an injury designation, a progression that would match how he headed into Week 12 action.

Not spotted at practice
Robinson (heel/knee) wasn't present for the early portion of Thursday's practice, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Robinson was limited Wednesday, so his absence from Thursday's session is notable. However, there's a chance that the running back is being rested for maintenance purposes as he continues to manage heel and knee issues. What he's able to do Friday will therefore be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams.

Practices in limited fashion
Robinson (heel/knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Robinson continues to deal with the two injuries, but the fact he was able to practice Wednesday in some fashion indicates he didn't aggravate anything during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. The 23-year-old has avoided an injury designation the past few games despite starting each week with limitations, and he may be on a similar track Week 13.

Goes over 100 yards from scrimmage
Robinson turned 17 carries into 86 yards and gathered in three of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 21-14 defeat to the Falcons. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Since sitting out Week 9 due to a bruised heel, Robinson has managed to achieve active status in three straight contests, averaging 16.7 touches for 79 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two rushing TDs. That's more or less in line with his output in seven appearances pre-injury -- 87.9 total yards per game, five scores -- but the second-year back hasn't had a run of 20-plus yards since Week 6. While Robinson may have some practice limitations this week, too, he'll look to keep it…read more

Ready for Week 12 action
Robinson (heel/knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Robinson initially suffered a bruised heel Week 8 at Seattle and missed a Week 9 game against the Bills, but he's been able to suit up in back-to-back contests, logging at least 58 percent of offensive snaps both times and totaling 30 touches for 122 yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns. For the first time since picking up the injury, though, he's clear of a designation ahead of game day. Robinson will aim for a bounce-back effort versus an Atlanta defense that has conceded 147.2…read more

Robinson (heel/knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The limited showing puts him a step ahead of last week, when he started off as a non-participant before progressing to limited practices Thursday and Friday. Robinson then took 63 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-10 loss to San Francisco, finishing with 14 touches and 38 yards in a game where the Niners thoroughly dominated possession.

Finds end zone once
Robinson ran for 29 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries while catching two passes for nine yards on three targets against San Francisco on Sunday.
Analysis: Robinson probably did about as well as anyone could in the dysfunctional Jacksonville offense, but overall the Jags predictably struggled against the 49ers and Robinson was less efficient with his carries than usual. It's somewhat encouraging for his fantasy investors that the Jaguars appear to be willing to stick with Robinson, even in garbage time. The opposite would be concerning given how often the Jaguars find themselves in lopsided game scripts. Their Week 12 matchup with the Falcons…read more

Ready to face 49ers
Robinson (heel/knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against San Francisco.
Analysis: Robinson was officially questionable for Sunday's contest, though it's not a major surprise he's suiting up after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported in the early morning that the tailback was on track to play. Robinson returned from a one-game absence last week and had 12 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 27 yards versus the Colts.

Analysis: The two injuries prevented Robinson from practicing Wednesday, but the running back was back on the field Thursday and Friday as a limited participant. Despite Rapoport's positive report regarding Robinson's status, fantasy managers will still want to confirm that the 23-year-old avoids the Jaguars' Week 11 inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Jaguars list Robinson (heel/knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after he practiced Friday on a limited basis.
Analysis: After sitting out the Jaguars' initial Week 11 practice with the two injuries, Robinson managed a pair of limited sessions to close out the week. Though the lack of full activity prevented Robinson from heading into Sunday without a designation, head coach Urban Meyer noted Friday that the running back is "feeling good," according to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus.

Robinson didn't practice Wednesday due to a bruised heel and a knee injury.
Analysis: While Robinson continues to manage the heel issue that caused him to sit out Week 9, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that the running back's knee injury is minor and his absence from practice Wednesday was mostly precautionary. That's a notion that would be solidified if Robinson is able to practice in any capacity Thursday.

Scores TD in return
Robinson (heel) rushed 12 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 27 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Robinson had a successful return from a one-game absence considering he averaged 4.8 yards per carry and also recorded his sixth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter. However, his overall touches on the ground were capped due to game script, with Robinson's carry total serving as his lowest in a non-injury-shortened game since Week 2. On the plus side, Robinson's reception total was his highest since Week 3, and he'll have a chance to boost his workload…read more

It's a major relief for fantasy managers to hear that the standout running back has escaped a severe injury, but his availability for Week 9 nonetheless appears less than certain.

The second-year back had crossed the goal line for the first time this season in the loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, so he's now recorded three touchdowns in five days.

For the season, Robinson has averaged 14.3 touches for 84 total yards per game while scoring one touchdown. With that baseline and his primary competition for snaps out of the picture Thursday, he could be in line for the type of usage he experienced as an undrafted rookie last year (20.6 touches per outing).

Robinson was significantly more involved compared to Week 1 -- when he registered only eight touches -- but his overall role in the offense still was fairly limited.

Disappoints in Week 1 loss
Robinson carried five times for 25 yards and brought in three of six targets for 29 yards in the Jaguars' 37-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also fumbled once, but it was recovered by Jacksonville.
Analysis: Robinson was essentially nullified by game script Sunday, as the Jaguars found themselves down 27-7 by halftime. Notably, he also saw offseason signing Carlos Hyde outpace him in carries by four, which is certainly something to keep in mind going into Week 2.

Four touches Sunday
Robinson carried the ball three times for 10 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's preseason win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The second-year back was only on the field for the Jaguars' first two series. Robinson is set to handle lead duties once again with Travis Etienne (foot) out for the season, and while the offense likely will look very different with Trevor Lawrence under center and Urban Meyer running the show, Robinson's three-down skill set and powerful running style should result in significant touch volume once again, even if Carlos Hyde cuts into his action on early downs.

The team had even signed Carlos Hyde in March to help with backfield depth, perhaps hinting that Robinson would be spelled on early downs rather than late ones most of the time.

Fellow RB injures foot
Robinson's teammate, Travis Etienne, suffered a midfoot sprain during Monday night's preseason game against the Saints, ESPN's Michael DiRocco reports.
Analysis: The report notes that Etienne's left foot will require further testing, at which time there should be added clarity with regard to how much time he might miss. With the Jaguars' regular-season slate opening Sept. 12, the rookie back's Week 1 status is unclear at this stage. In the event that Etienne is sidelined early on in the 2021 campaign, more touches would be available for Robinson, particularly targets, while Carlos Hyde could also pick up some extra carries.

Starts once again
Robinson rushed five times for 13 yards in Monday night's 23-21 preseason loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Robinson once again started at tailback, and although he wasn't particularly productive, neither were Carlos Hyde nor Travis Etienne. In fact, Etienne was forced out with a foot injury, raising some uncertainty over his status at the moment. As things stand, Robinson appears to be in a decent position to be named Jacksonville's starter, but the Jags' backfield situation could be one to monitor until the pecking order is established.

Works with starters
Robinson recorded three rushes for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason contest against the Browns.
Analysis: Robinson took the team's first handoff of the game, working ahead of both Carlos Hyde and Travis Etienne. His initial carry was his biggest of the game, as he ripped off a nine-yard gain. This usage seemingly followed the team's initial depth chart, which listed Robinson and Hyde as co-starters. Even so, the Jaguars' backfield remains one of the most important to watch during the preseason, and Robinson seems to be the head of the committee for the time being.

Role in flux after Etienne addition
Robinson faces added competition in the Jacksonville backfield with the Jaguars' selection of Travis Etienne in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Mia O'Brien of First Coast News reports. "We want to be Top-8 in the league, and with James Robinson, Hyde and Etienne, we think we're there," said coach Urban Meyer on Thursday.
Analysis: Per O'Brien, Meyer views Robinson and Carlos Hyde as the "1-2 punch" in the Jacksonville backfield with Etienne settling in as the third-down back. Meyer's comments aside, a team that takes a running back in the first round is going to find a significant role for that player. Robinson's passing down work is already in jeopardy with Etienne in the fold, and his carries are at major risk as well.

General manager Trent Baalke said Tuesday that he believes Robinson (ankle) could "even take a step forward from where he was a year ago," John Reid of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Baalke spoke of Carlos Hyde, whom the Jaguars recently signed to a two-year deal, in purely complementary terms and as someone who "can compete for roles." It's always possible that Jacksonville adds to the backfield in April's draft, but as things currently stand, Robinson is still locked in as the team's featured back, while Hyde appears set for the backup gig. Hyde's presence could detract from Robinson's overall workload, but if the Jaguars' offense takes a step forward, it's possible the…read more

Ruled out for season finale
Head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that Robinson (ankle) won't be available for the Jaguars' Week 17 game against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Robinson's ankle injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, the Jaguars won't take any chances with their top running back with little at stake for the organization in the season finale. As a result, Robinson will finish the season with 1,070 rushing yards, leaving him just shy of the NFL record for an undrafted rookie established by the Colts' Dominic Rhodes in 2001 (1,104). While Robinson was sidelined in the Week 16 loss to the Bears, Dare Ogunbowale stepped in as the Jaguars'…read more

Will be evaluated Wednesday
Coach Doug Marrone said Robinson (ankle) will have his swelling evaluated Wednesday to determine whether he can practice this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson hasn't practiced in any capacity since injuring his ankle Week 15, and Marrone hinted that his chances of suiting up Week 17 may be slim unless Wednesday's examination goes well. Dare Ogunbowale would stand to lead Jacksonville's backfield against Indianapolis on Sunday if Robinson can't go, with Devine Ozigbo operating in the No. 2 role.

Officially out Sunday
Robinson (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Bears.
Analysis: This was reported earlier by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but it's now been officially confirmed by the team. Devine Ozigbo and Dare Ogunbowale are now set to take on the difficult task of replacing Robinson's production in the starting lineup.

Not expected to play
Robinson (ankle) is not expected to play Sunday against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Robinson didn't practice all week so it wouldn't exactly be a surprise if the rookie running back is actually ruled out as Rapoport reports, but the team has not officially made the designation. If Robinson is ultimately ruled out, expect Devine Ozigbo and Dare Ogunbowale to split the majority of the workload against a tough Bears defense.

Questionable after missing practice
Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Robinson received the questionable tag after the Jaguars listed him as a non-participant in each of their three practice reports for Week 16. Despite the running back's lack of on-field reps with the Jaguars opting to take a cautious approach while he manages the injury, John Shipley of SI.com relays that Robinson has indicated that he wants to and expects to play this weekend. If, however, Robinson ends up out or limited versus Chicago, Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo would be in line for…read more

Idle for practice again
Robinson (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Though he was rested at practice for the second day in a row, Robinson said Wednesday that he wants to and expects to play Sunday against the Bears, according to John Shipley of SI.com. Whether that comes to pass will likely hinge on what Robinson is able to do at the Jaguars' final practice session of Week 16 on Friday. If Robinson is withheld from practice or is limited, he'll likely be listed as questionable -- at best -- for Sunday's contest.

Expecting to play Week 16
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Robinson (ankle) will be rested in practice Wednesday, but the running back still expects to suit up Sunday against the Bears, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson had a tough time finding open running room in last week's loss to the Ravens, accruing 53 yards and a touchdown on 19 touches before departing with the ankle injury. While the issue doesn't appear to be significant, the Jaguars appear set to hold him out of practice Wednesday, and perhaps Thursday's and Friday's sessions as well. If that ends up being the case, the Jaguars may take the decision on whether Robinson plays out of his hands, but for now, the undrafted rookie is optimistic…read more

Robinson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury.

Ready for Week 15
Robinson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: The rookie practiced with no limitations Friday and is good to go for Sunday's contest. Robinson has routinely handled huge snap counts out of the Jacksonville backfield this season, and there's no reason to expect that to change much over the final three games.

Another limited session
Robinson (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Though Robinson was limited at practice last week, he approached Week 14 action minus an injury designation. Such a pattern could well be repeated this time around, a notion that will be confirmed either way upon the release of Friday's final injury report in advance of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Last weekend, Robinson ended up being the only Jacksonville back with a carry in the team's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

Limited Wednesday
Robinson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Robinson also had a cap on his practice reps last week due to a knee issue, but he managed to shed his injury designation in time to suit up in Jacksonville's loss to the Titans. The rookie received his lowest amount of carries (12) since Week 6 in that contest, but that can likely be attributed to the fact that Jacksonville fell into an early deficit and never quite got back into the game. Robinson could face another unfavorable game script Sunday in Baltimore.

Limited by game script
Robinson carried the ball 12 times for 67 yards in Week 14 against the Titans. He added four receptions for 16 yards.
Analysis: Robinson commanded his lowest carry total since Week 6, as the Jaguars fell behind 24-3 by early in the third quarter. He was largely held under wraps even when given a chance and accounted for 47 of his rushing yards with one carry late in the fourth quarter. Even with the limited workload, Robinson was the only Jaguars running back to earn a carry. While volume should return, Robinson will face stiff run defenses to close the season, drawing the Ravens, Bears and Colts.

Clear of injury designation
Robinson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: The 22-year-old was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to the knee issue, but it won't affect his availability for Sunday's divisional matchup. Robinson had 16 carries for 102 yards and one touchdown while catching three passes for 18 yards during the loss to Tennessee in Week 2, and his role in the offense has continued to grow since that early season contest.

Friday's injury report will reveal whether Robinson approaches the contest listed as questionable, or minus an injury designation.

Tending to knee issue
Robinson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Terry McCormick of TItanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone suggested prior to the team's first Week 14 practice that Robinson would be limited, but it wasn't until the release of the official injury report that a reason behind the rookie's restrictions became known. Despite the knee injury, Marrone said that Robinson will be "full go" for Sunday's game against Tennessee, suggesting that the running back may just have been getting some extra maintenance to begin the week.

Limited to begin week
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Robinson would be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but the running back is expected to be a "full go" ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Marrone didn't cite a specific injury as a reason for Robinson's limitations, but more information on that front should become available when the Jaguars release their first Week 14 practice report later Wednesday. Given that Robinson surpassed the 20-touch mark for the fifth time in six games in last weekend's overtime loss to the Vikings, Marrone may just be looking to give Jacksonville's lead back some extra maintenance.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards with TD
Robinson rushed 18 times for 78 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Robinson continued his stellar rookie campaign, exceeding 90 scrimmage yards for the 10th time in 12 games. He scored his sixth rushing touchdown of the season from one yard out with 1:08 remaining, and the ensuing two-point conversion tied the score to send it to overtime. Robinson should remain the focal point of Jacksonville's offense in Week 14 against the Titans, whom he carved up for 102 yards and a touchdown on the ground back in Week 2.

Posts 159 scrimmage yards
Robinson had 22 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: The rookie UDFA scored on a four-yard run in the final minutes to give the Jaguars a chance to tie the game 27-27, but the two-point conversion failed. Robinson continues to dominate the backfield work for Jacksonville, as Laviska Shenault's one carry for six yards was the only rush attempt from someone besides Robinson or quarterback Mike Glennon. The 22-year-old Robinson is up to 1,170 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns through 11 games, and he should continue to see heavy volume down the…read more

Plenty of work, but offense stymied
Robinson registered 73 rushing yards on 17 carries, adding two receptions for 21 yards during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Robinson was the only Jaguar to garner a carry Sunday, and his workload is likely to remain ample going forward whether or not Chris Thompson (back) is available for the offense. In a performance that yielded no touchdowns and just two receptions, however, Robinson had one of his quieter outings of 2020. The undrafted rookie from Illinois State had entered Sunday's matchup with 22-plus carries and at least 99 rushing yards in three consecutive outings.

Ready to face Pittsburgh
Robinson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson has been limited in practice due to a shoulder injury this week, but he looks on track to handle his usual full workload versus Pittsburgh. The undrafted rookie has put together three straight games with at least 20 rushing attempts, but Pittsburgh's stout defensive front (106.8 average rushing yards allowed per game) will represent one of the tougher matchups he's faced all season.

Analysis: Robinson was the only Jaguars player to register a carry in Sunday's loss to the Packers, rushing 23 times for 109 yards in addition to catching two passes for three yards. Given that hefty workload, Robinson may just have been getting some much-deserved maintenance Wednesday, but fantasy managers will still want to check in on his activity during the Jaguars' final two practices of Week 11.

Breaks century mark in Week 10 loss
Robinson compiled 109 rushing yards on 23 carries, adding two receptions for three yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Robinson was the only Jaguars player to garner a carry during the Week 10 loss, as Chris Thompson (back) was forced to exit the contest in the first quarter. The undrafted rookie from Illinois State has been fed a heavy workload of 23.3 carries per contest over his past three outings, after he never once exceeded 17 rush attempts in a game Weeks 1 through 6.

Scores seventh TD
Robinson carried 25 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Robinson received a career-high 25 totes in this one and found the sledding a bit tough as he finished with an average of 4.0 yards per carry. He also failed to make an impact in the passing game with Jake Luton under center, but Robinson still managed a respectable fantasy line thanks to a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Robinson now has seven scores for the season and should continue to be heavily involved in a favorable matchup with the Packers next Sunday.

Has 100-plus yards, two TDs in Week 7
Robinson recorded 22 carries for 119 yards and one touchdown while reeling in four of six targets for 18 yards and another score during Sunday's 39-29 road loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: After back-to-back relative duds Weeks 5 and 6, Robinson racked up at least 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 4 with the help of a season high in rushes. He also recorded two TDs in a game for the second time in seven contests to bring his total on the campaign to six scores. Sunday marked the return of Devine Ozigbo to the lineup, but he didn't have a touch before injuring his hamstring.

Receiving score saves day
Robinson rushed the ball 12 times for 29 yards in Week 6 against the Lions. He added four receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Robinson was limited in rushing volume due to game script but was the only Jaguars running back to record a carry. He was also able to remain involved in the passing game, hauling in a 14-yard touchdown pass in garbage time to pad his stat line. Robinson's work as a receiver has given him a strong floor throughout the season, as he has recorded at least four receptions in four consecutive games. On the other hand, he has gained just 77 yards on his last 25 carries across the last two contests.…read more

Robinson rushed the ball 13 times for 48 yards in Week 5 against Houston. He added five receptions for 22 yards through the air.
Analysis: Robinson was bottled up by the Texans, as his longest gain of the day was a 14-yard rush midway through the first quarter. It was the first time since Week 1 that Robinson failed to top 100 total yards, though he still commanded 13 of the 15 carries that went to Jacksonville's running backs. Also encouraging was his heavy involvement in the passing game, as he finished second on the team in both targets and receptions.

Over 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Robinson rushed 17 times for 75 yards and caught all four of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Robinson topped 100 scrimmage yards for a third consecutive week, but it was a bit disappointing that he failed to do more against a Bengals defense that came in allowing 181.7 yards per game on the ground. Only the Texans entered Week 4 allowing more rushing yards per game, so Robinson will benefit from another favorable matchup when his team travels to Houston in Week 5.

Top offensive weapon in loss
Robinson rushed 11 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all six targets for 83 yards in the Jaguars' 31-13 loss to the Dolphins on Thursday.
Analysis: Even in a surprisingly lopsided loss, Robinson found a way to stand out yet again. Not only did the undrafted rookie free agent account for both of the Jaguars' scores, he also checked in tops on the team in receptions and receiving yardage. While game script prevented the Illinois State product from seeing the 16-carry workload he enjoyed in the first two games, he's now upped his reception total over that of the previous contest in two straight contests.

Robinson rushed 16 times for 102 yards and one touchdown and caught three of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: The 22-year-old had a similar workload to the season opener but found more success on the ground, notching the first 100-yard game and touchdown of his career. Robinson again dominated the touches out of the backfield as Chris Thompson was the only other running back to touch the ball (two carries and three receptions), though the veteran did catch a touchdown pass.

Totals 90 yards
Robinson carried the ball 16 times for 62 yards in the team's Week 1 contest against the Colts. He also added one reception for 28 yards.
Analysis: Robinson was clearly atop the depth chart, as no other running back tallied a carry. While largely unspectacular, Robinson picked up chunk yardage early in the game. His efficiency waned as the contest moved on, though he managed to total 90 yards on 17 combined touches. With the Jacksonville depth chart still murky behind Robinson, he should in line for plenty of touches once again in Week 2 against the Titans.

Confirmed for Week 1 start
Jacksonville offensive coordinator Jay Gruden confirmed that Robinson would serve as the team's starting running back in Sunday's season opener versus the Colts, John Oesher of the team's official site reports. "I feel good about him," Gruden said Wednesday. "I'm excited to watch him play. I know he's excited. He won't show it, though. I haven't seen him smile but twice the whole time since I've been here."
Analysis: An undrafted rookie out of FCS Illinois State, Robinson saw his hopes of making Jacksonville's roster improve following the Aug. 31 release of Leonard Fournette. He then made further headway up the depth chart when Ryquell Armstead was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sept. 4 and when Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Since neither Armstead nor Ozigbo has much of a track record at the NFL level and because the only other two other backs on the roster (Chris Thompson…read more

Poised to serve as lead back
With Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) on IR and set to miss at least a few weeks, Robinson appears poised to play a prominent role in the Jaguars' Week 1 game plan.
Analysis: With Ozigbo sidelined, the Jaguars added Dare Ogunbowale to their active roster, but we'd be surprised if the newcomer saw a big workload Sunday against the Colts. With Ryquell Armstead on the reserve/COVID-19 list and out indefinitely, Robinson -- who is listed atop the team's posted depth chart -- figures to head an early season backfield committee that will also employ Chris Thompson in passing situations.

Robinson is listed as the No. 1 running back on the Jaguars' first unofficial depth chart of the season.
Analysis: In the wake of Ryquell Armstead being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list for the second time, coach Doug Marrone wasn't able to provide a timetable for the running back's return during media availability Monday. As a result, the remaining trio of Robinson, Devine Ozigbo and Chris Thompson will get the first opportunity to contribute out of a Jaguars backfield without Leonard Fournette, who was waived last week.

Could see work early on
Robinson has a chance to carve out an early-season role in Jacksonville's backfield, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Leonard Fournette no longer in the mix, coach Doug Marrone indicated that out of the gate the team's backfield strategy will be "situation and matchup-based." Ryquell Armstead is currently on the team's reserve/COVID-19 list. Robinson, an undrafted rookie, has been a pleasant surprise for the team, and it's plausible that he'll be part of an early-down rotation Week 1, possibly with Devine Ozigbo, while veteran Chris Thompson provides a change-of-pace/pass-catching presence.

Secures roster spot
Robinson was informed Saturday that he's made Jacksonville's regular-season roster, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Robinson saw the path to a backfield gig open up earlier this week when the Jaguars waived Leonard Fournette. With Ryquell Armstead (illness) subsequently having been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the undrafted rookie out of Illinois State could even be facing some early season opportunity. In the event that Armstead isn't able to gain full clearance before Sept. 13's season-opener against the Colts, Robinson could end up in the backfield mix behind Chris Thompson and Devine Ozigbo.

Coach Doug Marrone said Robinson is capable of playing on all three downs, Gene Frenette of The Florida-Times Union reports.
Analysis: This might be interpreted as a hint that the undrafted rookie out of Illinois State will have a spot on the team's Week 1 roster. The practice squad seemed more likely as recently as a few days ago, but things opened up after the Jaguars waived Leonard Fournette. While Ryquell Armstead, Chris Thompson and Devine Ozigbo are all better bets to get playing time on offense early in the season, it won't come as any surprise if Robinson gets a shot at some point this year.
