Robinson was evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's win over the Jaguars but was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimate. Robinson played 10 snaps on offense against Jacksonville and made one catch for seven yards, which led to him being evaluated for a concussion. However, it appears he either didn't suffer one after all or has moved through protocols quickly, with his estimated full participation. He should be good to go Week 12 against the Colts.

Robinson was evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's win over the Jaguars but was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimate. Robinson played 10 snaps on offense against Jacksonville and made one catch for seven yards, which led to him being evaluated for a concussion. However, it appears he either didn't suffer one after all or has moved through protocols quickly, with his estimated full participation. He should be good to go Week 12 against the Colts.
Robinson (head) was evaluated for a concussion in the late moments of Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars. Robinson reeled in one of two targets for seven yards in the victory, but he did take a blow to the head in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if the wide receiver suffered a concussion, but if he did, he'd have to clear league protocols to have a chance to suit up against the Colts on the road in Week 12.
Robinson failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 victory over Houston. Robinson played just four offensive snaps, operating as an extreme depth option at wide receiver once again in Week 10. He had seen a slight uptick in usage over the past two weeks, but with Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension, Robinson reverted back to the bench versus the Texans. Over five games with the Lions in 2024, the veteran wideout has caught one of three targets for two yards.
Robinson caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers. Robinson was expected to see an increased role over the last two weeks with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, but he logged only 31 offensive snaps combined versus the Titans and Packers, catching one of two targets for two yards. With Williams returning in Week 10 against the the Texans, Robinson's already limited role will likely shrink further.
Head coach Dan Campbell stated Wednesday that Robinson will take on a heavy load against the Titans on Sunday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. Robinson was signed to the Lions' active roster Sept. 26, but he has only appeared in two games, seeing limited snaps and a single target. However, with Jameson Williams expected to be serving the first of a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances, there will be plenty of snaps up for grabs at wide receiver.
The Lions signed Robinson off their practice squad Thursday. Robinson becomes the second Lions receiver this week to get a promotion from the practice squad, after Tim Patrick signed with Detroit on Tuesday. Both wideouts were elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's win over the Cardinals, but Patrick (34 offensive snaps) saw significantly more playing time than Robinson (one snap). Expect Patrick to continue serving as the preferred No. 3 wideout behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, while Robinson contends with the likes of Kalif Raymond and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) for any reps that linger at receiver.
Robinson reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Robinson saw just one snap during Sunday's 20-13 win at Arizona and did not record any stats. As long as Detroit continues to lean on its running game and Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain available, it's difficult to imagine any other Lions wideout having any fantasy relevance.
The Lions elevated Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Robinson wasn't able to secure a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2014 second-round pick opted to stick around on Detroit's practice squad. He played 17 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 34 catches (on 49 targets) for 280 yards.
Robinson signed with Detroit's practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Robinson's best days are behind him, as the three-time 1,000-yard receiver had just 1,029 receiving yards combined over the last three regular seasons between the Bears, Rams and Steelers, then failed to secure a roster spot on cut-down day with the Giants. Nonetheless, the 31-year-old Robinson has a chance to eventually move up to the active roster for a Lions team that's currently carrying only four healthy wide receivers.
