Marginal impact in 2024 Robinson finished the 2024 regular season having caught three of seven targets for 30 yards over 12 games.

Impact Robinson signed a one-year deal with Detroit in late September, operating as a depth option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams at wide receiver in 2024. The 31-year-old never saw more than two targets in a game and the most offensive snaps he played on the year came in Week 8 against the Titans when he logged 21. The wide receiver will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and it's unclear how much interest he'll garner on the open market.

Doesn't appear to be in protocols Robinson was evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's win over the Jaguars but was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Robinson played 10 snaps on offense against Jacksonville and made one catch for seven yards, which led to him being evaluated for a concussion. However, it appears he either didn't suffer one after all or has moved through protocols quickly, with his estimated full participation. He should be good to go Week 12 against the Colts.

Evaluated for concussion Robinson (head) was evaluated for a concussion in the late moments of Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Robinson reeled in one of two targets for seven yards in the victory, but he did take a blow to the head in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if the wide receiver did indeed suffer a concussion, but if he did, he'd have to clear league protocols before the team takes on the Colts on the road in Week 12.

Four offensive snaps in win Robinson failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 victory over Houston.

Impact Robinson played just four offensive snaps in the contest, operating as an extreme depth option at wide receiver once again in Week 10. Robinson had seen a slight uptick in usage over the past two weeks, but with Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension versus the Texans, Robinson reverted back to the bench. Over five games with the Lions in 2024, Robinson has caught one of three targets for two yards.

Two-yard catch in win Robinson caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.

Impact Robinson was expected to see an increased role over the last two weeks with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, but he logged only 31 offensive snaps combined versus the Titans and Packers, catching one of two targets for two yards. With Williams returning in Week 10 against the the Texans, Robinson will once again carry no fantasy value in Detroit's offense.

Increased role expected Head coach Dan Campbell stated Wednesday that Robinson will take on a heavy load against the Titans on Sunday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact Robinson was signed to the Lions' active roster Sept. 26, but he has only appeared in two games, seeing limited snaps and a single target. However, with Jameson Williams expected to be serving the first of a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing substances, there will be plenty of snaps up for grabs at wide receiver.

Signed to active roster The Lions signed Robinson off their practice squad Thursday.

Impact Robinson becomes the second Lions receiver this week to get a promotion from the practice squad, after Tim Patrick signed with Detroit on Tuesday. Both wideouts were elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's win over the Cardinals, but Patrick (34 offensive snaps) saw significantly more playing time than Robinson (one snap). Expect Patrick to continue serving as the preferred No. 3 wideout behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, while Robinson contends with the likes of Kalif Raymond and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) for any reps that linger at receiver.

Goes back to practice squad Robinson reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Robinson saw just one snap during Sunday's 20-13 win at Arizona and did not record any stats. As long as Detroit continues to lean on its running game and Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain available, it's difficult to imagine any other Lions wideout having any fantasy relevance.

THE DAILY DRIVE: Lions elevate wide receivers Tim Patrick, Allen Robinson from practice squad I'm picking Detroit Lions over Cardinals and I'll make you a guarantee about their offense

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • DETROITLIONS.COM

Gets elevated from practice squad The Lions elevated Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Robinson wasn't able to secure a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2014 second-round pick opted to stick around on Detroit's practice squad. He played 17 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 34 catches (on 49 targets) for 280 yards.

Signs with Detroit's practice squad Robinson signed with Detroit's practice squad Wednesday, ,a href="https://x.com/FieldYates/status/1828889318867513715">Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Robinson's best days are behind him, as the three-time 1,000-yard receiver had just 1,029 receiving yards combined over the last three regular seasons between the Bears, Rams and Steelers, then failed to secure a roster spot on cut-down day with the Giants. Nonetheless, the 31-year-old Robinson has a chance to eventually move up to the active roster for a Lions team that's currently carrying only four healthy wide receivers.

Can't secure roster spot The Giants are releasing Robinson on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Robinson finds himself among New York's initial cuts as the team trims down to a 53-man roster. The veteran wideout signed with the Giants back in May, but it appears he couldn't show enough in training camp and the preseason to cement a depth role for himself. Robinson will be free to search for a reserve gig elsewhere in the league, and he could also be a candidate to resurface on the team's practice squad.

On roster bubble Robinson recorded one reception on one target for four yards in Saturday's preseason 10-6 loss to the Jets.

Impact Robinson's stat line doesn't have much meaning, but the fact that he suited up was not a positive sign of his status on the Giants' roster. The team sat their top four receivers -- all of whom are certain to make the roster -- leaving Robinson and Isiah Hodgins to start the game. However, with special teams contributors such as Miles Boykin and Isaiah McKenzie (knee/foot) also vying for roster spots, Robinson could be on the wrong side of the bubble.

Steelers release CB Patrick Peterson, WR Allen Robinson II in cost-cutting moves

Steelers Release Veteran WR Allen Robinson The Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on after just one season.

MARCH 8, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Cut by Steelers, as expected Pittsburgh is releasing Robinson on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Robinson and veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson are both being cut by the Steelers, saving roughly $10 and $7 million against the cap for the team, respectively. Even though he started all 17 games last season and played a hefty 741 offensive snaps, Robinson concluded the 2023 campaign with just 34 catches for 280 yards on 49 targets, without a touchdown. Now heading into his age-31 campaign, the veteran wideout may be able to latch on as a No. 3 option elsewhere in the league if he agrees to an affordable salary, but his days of fantasy relevance may well be over.
