Robinson (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. With Robinson, the Cardinals are taking advantage of a new rule that allows teams to place two players on IR on cutdown day and designate them to return. The 2024 first-round pick suffered the calf injury at practice Aug. 22. Scans of the calf following the practice revealed that he would have to miss multiple weeks.

Robinson (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. With Robinson, the Cardinals are taking advantage of a new rule that allows teams to place two players on IR on cutdown day and designate them to return. The 2024 first-round pick suffered the calf injury at practice Aug. 22. Scans of the calf following the practice revealed that he would have to miss multiple weeks.
Could start season on IR

Robinson is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a calf injury he sustained in practice Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Robinson underwent scans on his calf following his injury Thursday, and the results revealed that the rookie first-round defensive end will be out of action for multiple weeks. He could begin the regular season on IR, which would force him to sit out for the first four games and would be eligible to return for Week 5 against the 49ers on Oct. 6. Robinson's injury opens the door for Cameron Smith, T.J. Carter and Tyreke Smith to earn more backup defensive end reps behind presumptive starters Dante Stills and Zaven Collins.
Injures calf Thursday

Robinson injured his calf Thursday and will undergo imaging Friday according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Gannon also announced that Robinson's timeline will be more clear after the results of his imaging. This makes the defensive end questionable for Arizona's final preseason game against Denver this Sunday.
Set for imaging for injury

Robinson (undisclosed) will undergo imaging Friday for an injury that occurred during Thursday's practice, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports. The specifics of the injury haven't been released, but more should be known following Friday's test. Robinson was selected by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2024 draft, and he has been competing for a starting job at defensive end against Zaven Collins and Dante Stills.
