The NFL reportedly intends to “follow up” with the Falcons over the team’s failure to disclose the illness that sidelined Bijan Robinson for almost the entirety of the team’s Week 7 win over the Buccaneers, according to Pro Football Talk.
Robinson had an extremely limited role in the win on Sunday, logging just one carry during the game, which came during Atlanta’s game-winning field goal drive, one of the last plays of the game. Prior to that, Robinson had not received a touch and had only been on the field for a handful of plays.
The Falcons did not disclose any injury or illness prior to the game, but the young running back spoke to reporters after the win and explained that he’d been feeling unwell.
