The Arizona Cardinals just got themselves a new defensive back, and perhaps a little intel, for Week 16.
As first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates late this afternoon, the Cards have claimed former Carolina Panthers safety Jammie Robinson off waivers. The second-year defender was waived by Carolina, Arizona’s upcoming opponent, back on Friday.
Robinson, who split his collegiate career between the University of South Carolina (2019 to 2020) and Florida State University (2021 to 2022), was selected by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft. He’d go on to appear in 15 games, with a pair of starts, in his rookie campaign—amassing 17 combined tackles while playing primarily on special teams.
This season was similar for Robinson, who has played 97 of his 108 snaps as a special teamer. He totaled three tackles over six games.
After wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 5, Robinson became the second 2023 pick the Panthers have parted ways with here in 2024.
Mingo returned to Charlotte yesterday. He was targeted zero times in the Cowboys’ 30-14 win.
