  • 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. Now that he's further removed from an Achilles injury that he sustained in Week 16 of the 2021 season, the 24-year-old looming free agent will now have an opportunity to bolster another…read more

  • 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

  • Inactive Sunday

    Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Robinson continues to be the odd man out in the Jets' backfield, with Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter on track to lead the team's rushing attack Sunday, while Ty Johnson is on hand in a reserve capacity.

    Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Robinson is the odd man out Sunday, with Michael Carter back in the mix after a one-game absence. Also in line to see work in the Jets' Week 14 backfield will be Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson.

  • 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. Michael Carter was more effective on the ground with 12 carries for 76 yards and a…read more

  • Active against Buffalo

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

    Analysis: Robinson was a late addition to this week's injury report and at one point considered a true game-time call, but reports from Sunday morning indicated the team had optimism its newly-acquired running back would make it on the gameday roster. That will be confirmed with the official inactives report, which clears Robinson to contribute as much as his health will allow. He'll still be serving behind presumed starter Michael Carter, and it's also worth noting the Bills are one of the toughest…read more

  • Likely to play Sunday

    Robinson (knee) is in line to play Sunday against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    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.

  • Ready for Jets debut

    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. Ty Johnson is another possible candidate to see a few more offensive snaps while…read more

    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. Michael Carter is expected to replace the injured Breece Hall (knee) as the Jets' new lead back, but Robinson should get at least a handful of touches behind Carter and potentially push for a larger role as he becomes more acclimated to his new team.

  • Coach non-committal on Week 8 status

    Head coach Robert Saleh wouldn't commit to Robinson suiting up Sunday against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    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.

  • Not on injury report

    Robinson (knee) isn't listed Wednesday on the Jets' initial Week 8 injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In his final game with the Jaguars this past weekend, Robinson logged only 12 snaps, with the team indicating that the running back was dealing with some "knee soreness." 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. Assuming Robinson is able to get up to speed with his new team's playbook, he'll likely work in a timeshare out of the backfield with Michael Carter after…read more

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Leads backfield Sunday

    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. It is unclear if head coach Doug Pederson will now use Robinson as the lead back or if he truly wants to split work between the two heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Colts. Regardless,…read more

  • Could have big role Week 1

    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." While the workload distribution remains uncertain, Robinson apparently will be on the field Sunday -- a major milestone…read more

    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. It's well within the realm of possibility that Jacksonville takes a cautious approach to Robinson's return and has his involvement ramp up as the season progresses.…read more

  • Targeting Week 1

    Robinson (Achilles) said Tuesday that his goal is to be ready for Week 1 against Washington, SI.com's John Shipley reports.

    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.

  • Should be ready Week 1

    Coach Doug Pederson said Thursday that he expects Robinson (Achilles) to be ready for Week 1 against Washington, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Pederson did also say the team wants to be cautious, which perhaps explains why Robinson hasn't yet progressed to full-speed 11-on-11s in practice. 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. It's hard to say what Robinson's Week 1 role will look like if he's deemed ready, as 2021 first-round pick Travis Etienne is poised to lead the Jacksonville backfield after missing…read more

  • Works in 7-on-7 drills

    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. The third-year running back has two more chances to make an appearance during exhibition season (this Saturday against…read more

  • Won't play Friday

    Robinson (Achilles) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Browns, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    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: It's not a surprise that Robinson, who remains in the process of recovering from a torn left Achilles' tendon, will be held out of the contest, as the team continues to manage his training-camp workload. Though the Jaguars' unofficial depth chart lists Robinson as a first-stringer, Travis Etienne -- who is listed as the No. 2 option -- has, according to Johnson, "been arguably the most impressive player in camp."

    Analysis: Robinson, who remains in the process of recovering from a left Achilles tear, is taking first-team reps for the first time all training camp, albeit without any defenders on the field. He still hasn't stepped in for full-team drills, but that could be coming within the next few weeks. Robinson didn't play in the Hall of Fame game last week and doesn't figure to play in Jacksonville's exhibition with Cleveland on Friday.

Still, Pederson said the plan remains to "be cautious with [Robinson] and make sure he's ready when he's ready," an indication that the team won't rush the running back in his recovery.

    Robinson (Achilles) remains in his recovery mode and isn't expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, John Reid of the Florida Times-Union reports.

    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.

    Robinson's return timeline from an Achilles injury remains unclear at this stage, but Michael DiRocco of ESPN suggests it's possible the running back could be ready for the start of the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Robinson suffered a torn Achilles back on Dec. 26 and faces a lengthy recovery period, so it's not a lock that he'll be a go for Week 1. The recent return of Rams RB Cam Akers from a similar injury does offer hope that Robinson could factor in early on next season, however.

    Analysis: We'll await further confirmation of the severity of his Achilles issue, but with just two weeks left in the Jaguars' schedule, Robinson's non-contact injury could well end his campaign. Looking ahead, the team's available running back options are Dare Ogunbowale, who logged the bulk of the carries following Robinson's Sunday exit, as well as Nathan Cottrell and Ryquell Armstead.

Prior to being carted off, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, Robinson logged three carries for 10 yards. Next up for the team's backfield duties in his absence is Dare Ogunbowale.

The 23-year-old should continue to see heavy usage going forward, especially with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell now leading the team following the firing of former head coach Urban Meyer.

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. Meyer's assessment offers hope that Robinson will be ready to serve as the Jaguars' lead back Sunday, but fantasy managers will…read more

  • Limited in return to practice

    Robinson (heel/knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Robinson sat out Wednesday's practice, but his return to a limited session Thursday has the Jaguars' starting running back trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the 49ers approaches. Also limited Thursday was Carlos Hyde (shoulder), which sets the stage for Friday's practice/injury report to reveal whether one or both of the team's top two rushing options head into the weekend with a Week 11 injury designation.

    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. Robinson is coming off a Week 10 outing against the Colts in which he played 39 of the Jaguars' 66 offensive snaps and finished with 12 carries for 57 yards and a…read more

  • 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

    Analysis: Robinson was viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's contest, but he apparently looked well enough during the pregame workout to get cleared to face Indianapolis. The 23-year-old will lead Jacksonville's backfield, though according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, coach Urban Meyer still plans to give Carlos Hyde a heavier workload than usual with Robinson returning from a bruised heel.

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.

He didn't have many big gains, but he did record a 28-yard rush and also found the end zone from one yard out early in the third quarter.

Although that makes two games in a row with minus-two receiving yards, Robinson again demonstrated his standout ability with the football by running through the Tennessee defense with ease.

    Robinson carried 18 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns and brought in one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Jaguars' 24-21 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Robinson had goal-line carries all to himself as far as the backfield was concerned with Carlos Hyde (shoulder) inactive, and he cashed in from six and four yards out in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. 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.

    Analysis: Hyde has vultured 21 touches and one red-zone rush through three games, reps that will now be available for Robinson and potentially special teamer Dare Ogunbowale. 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).

    Analysis: Robinson found the end zone and eclipsed 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season, as he finally found his footing against a porous Arizona run defense. The 23-year-old was the bright spot of Jacksonville's offense, which mustered only two scoring drives while committing four turnovers.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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).

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

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Robinson logged 16 carries for 35 yards and three catches for 18 yards and a TD. Next up for Jacksonville's carries in his absence is Dare Ogunbowale.

  • 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.

  • Logs another limited practice

    Robinson (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Despite back-to-back limited sessions, Robinson's Week 14 status doesn't appear to be in any danger, with John Reid of The Florida Times-Union relaying Wednesday that coach Doug Marrone indicated the running back would be a full go by the time Sunday's game against the Titans occurs. 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. He is expected to serve as the workhorse…read more

  • 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.

  • Another limited practice

    Robinson (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that Robinson is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Steelers, but a full practice on his part Friday no doubt would ease the concerns of fantasy managers who are counting on the running back this weekend.

  • Limited at practice Wednesday

    Robinson logged a limited practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

    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. If he can move past the shoulder injury to play this weekend against the Steelers, Robinson should once…read more

  • 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. Robinson has translated the increased opportunity into 327 rushing yards and three total touchdowns, significantly improved production…read more

  • 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. In fact, Robinson was the sole Jags running back to make an appearance in the box…read more

  • 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

  • Held in check

    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. With volume still on his side, Robinson should be in for a bounceback…read more

  • 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. Given his robust usage and the…read more

  • Scores first career TD

    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. Next week's opponent, the Dolphins, have surrendered 328 rushing yards through their first two games of the season, so Robinson…read more

  • 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.

  • Gets top billing on depth chart

    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. Robinson is an undrafted rookie, but considering he averaged 21.9 carries and 123.3…read more

  • 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.

  • Looking good for roster spot

    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.
