Brian Robinson Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on injured reserve Robinson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Robinson already has missed two games due to a lingering hamstring injury and now must miss at least the next four outings, meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 13 at Cleveland. In a corresponding move, the Falcons are signing Khalil Herbert from the practice squad to the active roster to continue serving as the No. 2 RB behind workhorse Bijan Robinson.

Ruled out for Sunday's game Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Though Robinson had been able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, he won't be available for Sunday's game in Madrid. In his continued absence, look for Khalil Herbert to be elevated from the practice squad to work in a complementary role behind Bijan Robinson.

Limited at practice Thursday Robinson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Impact Robinson was also deemed limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, which gives the running back one more opportunity to upgrade to full participation before the team assigns Week 9 injury designations. If he's able to return from a two-game absence Sunday against the Bengals, he'd slot back into a complementary role behind Bijan Robinson, an assignment that Khalil Herbert handled in Weeks 7 and 8.

Opens week with limited practice The Falcons listed Robinson (hamstring) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact After missing the last two games due to a hamstring injury, Robinson at least took a step forward by getting back on the field in some capacity Wednesday. His participation Thursday and Friday should provide a better indication of whether he has a chance to return to Atlanta's backfield mix this weekend.

Won't play Sunday Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact After being listed as a non-participant on five straight injury reports due to a hamstring issue, Robinson will miss a second consecutive contest. In Robinson's absence, Khalil Herbert will continue to serve as the No. 2 RB to Bijan Robinson.

Another DNP on Friday Robinson (hamstring) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson looks likely to miss a second straight game, as he's yet to return to practice. Khalil Herbert should once again handle RB2 duties behind Bijan Robinson on Sunday against the Bucs.

Remains sidelined Thursday Robinson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday for the second day in a row, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson has yet to resume practicing after sitting out Atlanta's Week 7 win over the 49ers due to a hamstring injury. Robinson will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for a second consecutive game, in which case Khalil Herbert would likely be elevated from the practice squad to work as Bijan Robinson's backup again.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Robinson (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson now hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, when he was limited, due to a hamstring injury. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday at Tampa Bay. If Robinson is inhibited or sidelined again this weekend, Khalil Herbert will serve as Atlanta's No. 2 RB behind top option Bijan Robinson.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen Wednesday Robinson (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact If Robinson goes down as a non-participant Wednesday, it'll mark his third consecutive session in which he's done so as he deals with a hamstring injury. Until he gets back on the practice field, he seemingly is in line to continue missing game action after being inactive this past Sunday against the 49ers, when Khalil Herbert served as the No. 2 RB behind Bijan Robinson.

Won't play in Week 7 Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson made a surprise appearance on the Falcons' first Week 7 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a hamstring injury, but he capped the week with back-to-back DNPs and thus will miss his first game of the season Sunday. Atlanta will need to bring up Khalil Herbert from the practice squad Saturday to provide support behind top RB Bijan Robinson this weekend.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Thursday Robinson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After Robinson opened the week as limited Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, his downgrade to no activity one day later is cause for concern. Friday's practice and his ensuing activity level likely will determine if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the 49ers. The Falcons have Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller on the practice squad in the event Robinson isn't able to handle his typical RB duties behind Bijan Robinson in Week 7.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing hamstring injury Robinson (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Robinson may have tweaked his hamstring during the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears, when he recorded season lows in offensive snaps (10) and carries (two). His ability to practice in a limited capacity suggests that the injury isn't considered a serious one, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, who he played for in 2025. In the event that Robinson cannot play, the Falcons could turn to practice squad options like Jam Miller and Khalil Herbert to serve as depth options out of the backfield behind Bijan Robinson.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Limited workload in loss Robinson rushed once for one yard while reeling in both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Bears.

Impact Robinson registered his fewest touches in a game this season, but his two catches did match his season high from Week 2 versus Carolina. Robinson has now compiled 211 yards and four touchdowns on 42 carries while catching five of six targets for 30 yards over six contests this season. The running back is purely a top-notch safety blanket for fantasy managers who have Bijan Robinson on their roster.

Impact Robinson's seven carries in Week 5 were the fewest he's been given in any game so far this season, and the longest of those rushes only went for four yards. Atlanta's offense still runs through Bijan Robinson, but his backup could still be a desperation, touchdown-dependent flex play in deeper formats in a Week 6 matchup versus the Bears.
