Robinson's placement on injured reserve isn't a total surprise after it was previously reported the starting left tackle would miss 3-to-6 weeks with a knee injury. With his move to IR, he'll now be guaranteed to miss at least four games and possibly return at the later end of his estimated timeline. The Alabama product could com back before the season ends or at least by the playoffs but in the meantime Walker Little will take over at left tackle.
Robinson underwent tests on his knee earlier Monday, and although no diagnosis has been reported, the evaluation revealed something that prompted the multi-week recovery timeline for the Alabama product. It's possible a trip to IR could be in his future, although with the low end of the range being three weeks, the Jaguars may choose to keep Robinson on the active roster just in case he makes a quick recovery. Either way, the 28-year-old has a chance to return in time for the playoffs, and Walker Little is expected to step in at left tackle in the interim.
Robinson was unable to return to the game after suffering the injury, and it's currently unclear if he's in danger of missing any time, although the tests should provide some clarity there. The team will return to the practice field Thursday, which his status for should also give some clues on his potential availability for a Week 13 matchup with the Bengals.
Robinson left the game early in the first half and was replaced at left tackle by Walker Little, while Ezra Cleveland stepped in at left guard.
Robinson tore his ACL in the same knee back in 2018. In his absence, Walker Little has shifted to left tackle and Ezra Cleveland has come in at left guard.
