When Rivera spoke about Robinson last week, he was asked if Robinson was on track to return. He said yes, but didn’t promise a timeline on his return. Robinson was placed on the NFI (non-football injury) list before the season, which means he will miss at least the first four games of the season.
Robinson is eligible to return for the Week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans.
