The Saints cut Robinson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Robinson, who played only one game in 2023 and 11 contests in 2022, couldn't carve out a reserve role for himself behind Alvin Kamara in New Orleans' backfield despite Kendre Miller (hamstring) missing most of training camp and Jamaal Williams having been notably unproductive last season. Since suffering an Achilles tear back in 2021, Robinson has bounced between multiple organizations in the league. He'll look to earn another practice squad opportunity for the 2024 campaign, whether with the Saints or a new club.

Caught up in roster cuts
The Saints cut Robinson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Robinson, who played only one game in 2023 and 11 contests in 2022, couldn't carve out a reserve role for himself behind Alvin Kamara in New Orleans' backfield despite Kendre Miller (hamstring) missing most of training camp and Jamaal Williams having been notably unproductive last season. Since suffering an Achilles tear back in 2021, Robinson has bounced between multiple organizations in the league. He'll look to earn another practice squad opportunity for the 2024 campaign, whether with the Saints or a new club.
Cut by Green Bay
Signed from the practice squad ahead of last Thursday's eventual win over the Lions, Robinson didn't play a snap on Thanksgiving Day. The 25-year-old hasn't played in an NFL game since Week 13 of last season with the Jets.
Comes up from practice squad
Robinson spent about three weeks on Green Bay's practice squad spanning the second half of October and the first week of November. After the Packers backfield endured injuries to its top three options Sunday against the Chargers, Robinson was brought back to the practice squad and now will get a chance on the active roster. With Aaron Jones tending to a sprained MCL and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) on injured reserve, Robinson and Patrick Taylor seemingly will be the options behind AJ Dillon (groin) on Thursday in Detroit.
Rejoins practice squad
The Packers are desperate for backfield help after losing Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) to injuries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. It could be a challenge for Jones and Wilson to be ready to play in Thursday's divisional showdown against the Lions. Robinson joins Ellis Merriweather as running backs on Green Bay's practice unit.
Cut from Packers' practice squad
Less than three weeks after joining the Packers' practice squad, Robinson is parting ways with Green Bay. He's now set to become a free agent unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period.
