Darius Robinson injured

[Cheesebeef]

I could be wrong, but if he's not activated this week, I think he's done for the year.

Yup. The 3 week window closes and stays shut for the duration.

This would just be the topper for MO and his 2023 draft.

He was designated for return on Oct 9th, opening his 21 day practice window. So the Cardinals have until the 30th of October to officially add him to their roster.

It’s only his 2nd weeks this last weekend you have a 21 day window

2024 draft pick tho.

So a little more wiggle room. Not much though

I miss counted and thought this was the third week. Looks like we have until next Tuesday.

Dang, not Wednesday?

Dang, not Wednesday?

Can't be Wednesday. That's when they're trading for Adrian Peterson.

Sounds optimistic!

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Robinson (calf) will increase his workload this week ahead of the Cardinals' Week 8 game against the Dolphins on Sunday, per PHNX Sports.

Robinson began the regular season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained during the late stages of training camp. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 9, meaning that he would have to miss the entire 2024 regular season if he's not activated off injured reserve by Oct. 30. Robinson was unable to practice leading up to Monday's game against the Chargers, and his practice participation this week will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's contest.

I dont see him playing this week.

It seems like he will practice but be limited this week

He gets added to the roster next monday

than a full week of practice and he plays

 

[JCSunsfan]

Hmmm. I was hoping for good things from this kid, but then I went back and looked at his college highlights. He made plays when only barely blocked or unblocked. I don't have high hopes for him on the NFL level, but we will see. I cannot see how he will be very effective playing DE in a 3-4 which is what the Cardinals seem to be running.

No surprises with players not on field at Cardinals portion of practice open to media. DL Darius Robinson not present. Looks like he'll be activated next week and then be inactive until ready to play. Confirmed there's no procedure to extend practice window for personal reasons

its on the coaches to develop him.

i dont get this, what is the point at this juncture. Just IR him already

Seriously, I'm sick and tired of the situation now. Stick him on IR or **** about him until he's getting ready to actually do something.

Edit: S-T-F-U is now a **** word? Wow.

there was a NIR designation too -- his mom passed away and the service was yesterday (iirc?)

the team can activate him next week even if he is a week or so away from playing

Strong disagree!

1. At this juncture we are still fully in the mix to win the NFCWest and make the playoffs.

2. Even if we do not make the playoffs....legit on field reps are crucial for the kid to develop.

3. This isn't a broken bone or surgically repaired ligament we are trying to protect. It's a muscle strain. Once he is ready to go the best way to prevent this injury in the future is to strengthen the muscles he uses to play. The best way to do that is by playing.

4. If we make the playoffs...this kid will just be hitting mid season form

They can't put him back on IR without him being out for the year. They had no choice to open up his window.

 

[602 Native]

He needs to start playing. Don't know how you sit out this long without a severe injury that didn't require any surgery.

 

[Cardinal88]

I have to wonder if his injury was truly a “calf strain”. I wouldn’t think it takes 6+ weeks to right itself. Now, if it’s a high ankle sprain, many guys have missed 6 weeks. However, I’m not a doctor.

I apologize if you are a doctor or even if you played one on TV. But, how can you say play him IF you don't know his medical condition?

 

[Harry]

This would just be the topper for MO and his 2023 draft.

Who are you blaming? Mo? He had no significant collegiate history of injury.

I'm guessing he tweaked it again when he was ramping up his recovery. Put him back to square one and makes for a lengthy lay-off.

Rookie, desperate to impress and make his mark, inexperienced dealing with injuries. Perhaps pushed too hard too early.

 

[602 Native]

I am sorry I thought MO had 7 picks in the first 90 picks and that he was a deal genius. I remember a Cards flight plan hailing the dude for masterful trades that would bring the Cards success.

You better believe I blame him for bringing in a draft pick that hasn’t played a single down since being drafted that we traded for.

I hope the guy works out but this is borderline ridiculous.
