Robertson had surgery on the broken humerus he sustained during Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round loss to the Commanders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Pelissero adds that the procedure on Robertson's broken arm went well and that he is expected to be available for offseason workouts. The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $9.25 million with the Lions last March, and he delivered with career highs in tackles (50) and passes defended (8) over 17 regular-season games. Assuming he's healthy, Robertson should reprise his role as Detroit's primary slot cornerback next season.

Roberston broke his arm in Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round loss to the Commanders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Robertson suffered the injury early in the first quarter and was quickly ruled out. He'll undergo surgery Monday, though the timeline for his return is unclear.
Robertson (elbow) has been ruled out of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Commanders. Robertson suffered the injury early in the first quarter and departed to the sideline with trainers. He was ruled out not long after, though the severity of the injury is unclear. Kindle Vildor has taken over at outside corner in a beat-up Lions' secondary.
Robertson is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round game against the Commanders due to an elbow injury. Robertson suffered the injury early in the first quarter and was walked off the field by trainers. Kindle Vildor has taken over as an outside corner in Robertson's absence. The Lions are already without several key members of their secondary, so Robertson's absence would be another significant blow.
Robertson (calf) returned to a full practice Thursday. Robertson logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps last Monday night against the 49ers and has become an every-down cornerback for the Lions in the two games since Carlton Davis suffered a broken jaw. Over the last two weeks, Robertson has totaled 10 tackles (seven solo), three pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Robertson (calf) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Robertson played 100 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps in Monday night's win over the 49ers, recording two total tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble. However, it now appears he sustained a calf injury in the process. If the 26-year-old's injury holds him out of the Week 18 matchup against the Vikings, Kindle Vildor will likely start opposite rookie Terrion Arnold as part of Detroit's top outside cornerback duo.
Robertson recorded eight total tackles (five solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears. Robertson finished second on the Lions' defense in total tackles during Sunday's blowout win, trailing Brian Branch's 12-stop performance. The first-year Lion tied his season high in tackles (eight) in Week 16, having now accumulated 43 total tackles, six passes defended and two forced fumbles over 15 appearances. Robertson is expected to continue starting opposite Terrion Arnold as part of Detroit's top outside cornerback duo for the remainder of the regular season.
Robertson recorded eight solo tackles and two passes defensed in Monday's 42-29 win over Seattle. Robertson played a season-high 55 percent of Detroit's defensive snaps, finishing second on the team in tackles behind Kerby Joseph. The 26-year-old is operating as the team's starting slot cornerback, compiling 12 total tackles (11 solo) and four passes defensed over the first four games of 2024.
The Lions removed Robertson (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday. Robertson's stint on the active/non-football injury list was short-lived, as he spent just a handful of hours on it. The first-year Lion is now able to participate in training camp once again.
